Quickstart

This quickstart shows the minimal steps to call the Mission Space Public API.

• Base URL: https://api.mission.space/api/v1
• You must request an API key: Request API access here

Example: Fetch Kp Index

Python (recommended):

Code
 
import requests

resp = requests.get(
  "https://api.mission.space/api/v1/kp-index",
  params={
    "start_time": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "end_time": "2025-01-02T00:00:00Z",
    "limit": 100,
  },
  headers={"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
resp.raise_for_status()
print(resp.json())

Alternate (query param):

Code
 
import requests

resp = requests.get(
  "https://api.mission.space/api/v1/kp-index",
  params={
    "start_time": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "end_time": "2025-01-02T00:00:00Z",
    "limit": 100,
    "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  },
)
resp.raise_for_status()
print(resp.json())

Typical workflow

1. Request API key at /request-access.
2. Try a small query with limit=100 and narrow time range.
3. Paginate with offset and limit for large spans.
4. Respect rate limits (200 req/min).
