Welcome to the Launch-Dashboard-API wiki! This page contains general information about Launch Dashboard API. See the sidebar for endpoint documentation.
The Launch Dashboard API is currently at version 2.0.0 and is available at the following url: http://api.launchdashboard.space
No authentication is required to request telemetry (both live and offline).
I do not log any information about the users of the API. Every request is logged for optimization of the API but the logs do not contain identifying information. Any change to this will be documented here. No Identifiable information about the users of the API will ever be logged (for example: IP addresses). If you want to be mentioned as a user of the API in the README please contact me at help@launchdashboard.space.
The Launch Dashboard API is a REST API that contains telemetry from webcasts of rocket launches, both past and in real time using websockets. Currently all the data in the API has been captured using OCR.
The API is just one component in a bigger project called Launch Dashboard. Launch Dashboard will be a site that will overlay information about rocket launches in real time. It will be fully customizable and use (as one of its sources), the webcast telemetry broadcasted by the Launch Dashboard API. That's why it's not called something like: "Rocket Telemetry API"
This can be caused by a variety of reasons. Maybe the launch does not contain telemetry, maybe no one has noticed it or maybe no one could extract the telemetry due to OCR issues. If you have a request for a launch or a launch provider to be added to the API, please comment about it in the Features, Data and Telemetry Suggestions issue.
YES! That's the point of the Launch Dashboard API. If you have telemetry from a launch that isn't covered in the API, or that is of higher quality than that in the API, please comment about it in the Features, Data and Telemetry Suggestions issue.
Note: All telemetry has to be acquired from public sources. Proprietary data will not be hosted by Launch Dashboard API
AWESOME! Check out the CONTRIBUTING page. If you still have questions, feel free to open a new issue, or ask me directly at help@launchdashboard.space.
