Museums

 

Archaeology

  • Open Context API documentation. Open Context publishes open archaeological data from excavations, surveys, museum collections, lab analyses and government offices (including records of 350K archaeological sites in eastern North America). This is a new version of the Open Context API that now offers GeoJSON(-LD) for mapping and use as Linked Open Data. An Rstats package built on this API is currently in development .

 

Astronomy

  • Astronomy LookUP from Jodrell Bank 
  • flickr.photos.astro — YQL open table returning feeds of coordinates and names for tagged astronomy photos.
  • starchartjs — Not an API as such. Javascript library for drawing starcharts in <canvas>. Includes bright star catalogue, constellation figures and ephemerides for the planets.
  • starchartjs (SVG) — Javascript library for drawing star charts with Raphaël. Possibly better cross-browser compatibility than the <canvas> version, but slower. Includes bright star catalogue and constellation figures.
  • Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) SkyServer — access spectra and images from the survey.
  • CDS XML Web Services — convert astronomical coordinates via API.
  • SETI Institute Data - they've just announced upcoming APIs for some of their data.
  • NASA Extensions for Google Maps - mostly maps of the Moon and Mars
  • IFTTT Recipes for Outer Space
  • WFCAM - access to the UK Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS)
  • Digitized Sky Survey - access the DSS by position on the sky.
  • SkyMorph/NEAT - Repository of Near Earth Asteroid Tracking CCD images
  • WorldWide Telescope Script Reference — Javascript API for embedding Microsoft WorldWide Telescope in web pages. Allows you to programme tours of the sky, embed external images, view other planets. 
  • Zooniverse APIs - We are creating APIs in time for this event, such as Galaxy Zoo and Moon Zoo live classification feeds (see http://www.moonzoo.org/live). Feedback/suggestions welcome email robert.simpson@astro.ox.ac.uk.
