Open Source REST API for SpaceX data

[alien1993]

Just want to point out that this is not an official API made by SpaceX, but by people hanging around https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex.

You make them sound like junkyard dogs :)

Edit: Added smiley face to show I was merely amused by the phrasing.

Is there a schema definition available for this API or you are supposed to figure it out by looking at actual replies and hope it doesn't change?

Is there even an equvalent of XSD but for JSON?

[growse]

Like http://json-schema.org/, or https://swagger.io/specification/ ?

Doesn't look like there's any schema or spec in the repo.

At the bottom, "Endpoints".

What could that be used for, apart from news reporting automation?

I used it as a data source when I wanted to learn React: https://kuroikyu.github.io/spacex-launches/

[al_ramich]

was thinking the same. not sure why tracking the boosters individually would be useful to most. I suppose the competitors might be interested.

I wonder if this kind of data would be better structured in a semantic web way, with a well-defined schema and RDF rather than a siloed JSON REST thing.

I smell a GraphQL rewrite!
