Astronomy Picture of the Day API
Listed in NASA Data Portal
This endpoint structures the APOD imagery and associated metadata so that it can be repurposed for other applications.
Description
In addition, if the concept_tags parameter is set to True, then keywords derived from the image explanation are returned. These keywords could be used as auto-generated hashtags for twitter or instagram feeds; but generally help with discoverability of relevant imagery.
