Neo_Feed: Asteroids NeoWs: Near Earth Object Web Services

In Liu-Zhichao/nasaR: Interface to Various NASA APIs

Description

NeoWs (Near Earth Object Web Service) is a RESTful web service for near earth Asteroid information. With NeoWs a user can: search for Asteroids based on their closest approach date to Earth, lookup a specific Asteroid with its NASA JPL small body id, as well as browse the overall dataset. Dataset: All the data is from the NASA JPL Asteroid team (http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/).

Usage

Neo_Feed(key = Sys.getenv("NASA_TOKEN"), start_date,
  end_date = start_date + 7, as_dataframe = FALSE)

Arguments

key	String. Your NASA API key, you can enter your key in the function parameter, but it's not recommended. Instead, you'd better save your key in R environment and call it "NASA_TOKEN". Then the function would automatically acquire your key info.
start_date	Date. Starting date for asteroid search.
end_date	Date. Ending date for asteroid search. 7 days after start_date as default.
as_dataframe	Boolean. Return the data in the form of dataframe instead of nested list. False as default.
asteroid_id	Long integer. Asteroid SPK-ID correlates to the NASA JPL small body.

Details

Neo_Feed: Retrieve a list of Asteroids based on their closest approach date to Earth.

Neo_Lookup: Lookup a specific Asteroid based on its NASA JPL small body (SPK-ID) ID.

Neo_Browse: Browse the overall Asteroid dataset.

Value

Data of Near Earth Object.

Examples

Neo_Feed(start_date = as.Date("2019-11-01"), end_date = as.Date("2019-11-03"), as_dataframe = TRUE)
Neo_Lookup(asteroid_id = 3542519)
Neo_Browse()
