About NASA
NASA provides free public APIs that deliver space and earth science data including the Astronomy Picture of the Day, Mars rover photographs, near-Earth asteroid tracking, satellite imagery, and solar weather monitoring data. As an automation node, it allows workflows to pull structured scientific data from NASA’s open data sources directly into your pipeline without building custom API connections or writing code.
Education platforms, science communicators, data journalists, research teams, and content creators use the NASA integration to automate the collection and distribution of space and earth science data. Instead of manually downloading images from NASA’s website or checking datasets by hand, the data flows automatically into content pipelines, dashboards, notification systems, and social media schedulers.
Osher integrates NASA data feeds into automated content and alerting workflows using n8n. Our automated data processing team builds systems that pull daily astronomy imagery for social media scheduling, track near-Earth objects for monitoring dashboards, and combine satellite observation data with other sources for environmental reporting and analysis workflows.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement NASA
As NASA consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate NASA with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Register for a NASA API Key
Visit api.nasa.gov and register for a free API key. This takes a few seconds and provides 1,000 requests per hour, which is sufficient for most automated workflows.
Step 2
Configure the NASA Node
Add the NASA node to your workflow and enter your API key in the credential settings. Select the specific API endpoint you want to use: APOD, Mars Rover Photos, NeoWs Asteroids, or EPIC Earth Imagery.
Step 3
Set Query Parameters
Configure the parameters for your chosen endpoint. For APOD, specify a date or date range. For Mars Rover, select the rover, camera, and sol or Earth date. For NeoWs, define the date range for asteroid lookups.
Step 4
Schedule Your Data Pulls
Set a trigger schedule that matches your content needs. Daily pulls work for APOD content pipelines. Hourly checks suit space weather monitoring. Weekly pulls cover asteroid approach tracking.
Step 5
Process and Format the Data
Add nodes to transform the raw API response into your desired output format. Extract image URLs, format descriptions, calculate derived values, or combine NASA data with other sources.
Step 6
Deliver to Your Target Platform
Route the processed data to its destination. Post images and captions to social media, update a website section, send email digests, populate dashboards, or store records in a database for historical analysis.
