About SpaceX

SpaceX-API is an open source REST API providing data on SpaceX launches, rockets, cores, capsules, starlink satellites, launchpads, and landing pads. It is built with Node.js and Koa, distributed with Docker support, and licensed under Apache-2.0. The project is unaffiliated with SpaceX or Space Exploration Technologies Corp.

The API returns structured JSON data for individual records, such as launch details including flight number, mission name, dates, success/failure status, crew, ships, capsules, payloads, launchpad, and core landing information. Example usage is demonstrated with a GET request to retrieve the latest launch data.

The repository includes documentation, a status page, database exports, and links to API clients and apps built on top of the API. It is intended for developers who want programmatic access to SpaceX mission and hardware data. The repository has been archived by its owner and is now read-only.
