NASA Free API Plugin by BusinessPlatformAutomation · Pull Request #88 · squaredup/plugins

BusinessPlatformAutomation · 2026-07-10T11:29:03Z

Adds a new SquaredUp plugin for NASA's open data APIs, covering near-Earth asteroid close approaches (NeoWs), space weather alerts (DONKI), tracked satellites (Satellite Situation Center), and the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD).

Near-Earth Object: asteroids with a close approach in the current 7-day window, with summary and close-approach-history data streams
Space Weather Notification: DONKI's unified alert feed (solar flares, CMEs, geomagnetic storms, etc.) from the last 30 days
Satellite: ~84 actively tracked spacecraft from NASA's Satellite Situation Center, with a position-over-time data stream (GSE X/Y/Z) built against SSC's unusual Java-serialized JSON format
APOD: today's astronomy picture plus a date-range gallery stream, kept as dashboard-only content (no natural entity to index/drill into)

EONET (natural events) was scoped in but dropped: NASA's EONET service mislabels JSON responses with an XML content-type on ~90%+ of requests, which crashes this plugin's response parser with no available workaround. Documented as a known limitation.

Verify each finding against current code. Fix only still-valid issues, skip the
rest with a brief reason, keep changes minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
In `@plugins/NASA/v1/dataStreams/neoFeed.json`:
- Around line 11-15: Update the end_date expression in the NeoWs feed parameters
to add 6 days instead of 7, while preserving the existing ISO date formatting
and start_date behavior.

In `@plugins/NASA/v1/dataStreams/satelliteLocation.json`:
- Line 6: Add "objectLimit": 1 to the satellite location stream configuration
associated with baseDataSourceName "httpRequestScopedSingle", ensuring the
stream enforces a single returned object despite the NASA UI only defining
apiKey.

In `@plugins/NASA/v1/dataStreams/scripts/neoFeed.js`:
- Line 1: Update the `byDate` initialization in `neoFeed.js` to guard against
null or undefined `data`, using the same null-safe pattern as `neoSummary.js` or
optional chaining before accessing `near_earth_objects`.

In `@plugins/NASA/v1/dataStreams/scripts/satelliteLocation.js`:
- Around line 41-49: Guard the coordinate-row construction loop by verifying
that xs[i], ys[i], and zs[i] are all defined before pushing a row; skip
iterations with incomplete coordinate data while retaining the existing
coordinateSystem assignment.

In `@plugins/NASA/v1/metadata.json`:
- Around line 5-7: Replace the email value in the metadata.json author.name
field with the contributor’s corresponding GitHub username or organisation,
keeping the author.type value unchanged.

In `@plugins/NASA/v1/ui.json`:
- Around line 2-9: Update the apiKey field in the UI configuration to use
displayName instead of label, and add the required placeholder and title
properties following the ui.json conventions. Because DEMO_KEY is a valid
default, remove validation.required or set it to false.
