About TLE

TLE API provides real-time NORAD Two-Line Element sets for Earth-orbiting satellites, with data sourced from CelesTrak and delivered in JSON format. It includes an MCP server offering. The service covers a range of tracked objects, including the ISS, CSS (Tianhe), HST, and various NOAA satellites.

The API includes advanced satellite filtering, allowing users to search the database by orbit type and other characteristics, such as low Earth orbit, sun-synchronous, geostationary, and Molniya orbits. Filtered results can be shared via URLs.

This service is aimed at developers building applications that require satellite tracking or orbital data.
