This ought to keep @Mykle1 busy for a couple weeks at least: https://www.programmableweb.com/category/astronomy/api

Haha, thanks b! I’ll take a look. :thumbsup:

@bhepler

You do realize that I’ve done quite a few of those already? :-)

[bhepler]

@mykle1 - Yes. Yes, I have. But I’m hoping you have an addiction to catc… er, code 'em all.

I have several. ;-)

I threw together a companion module to MMM-MARS using one of the API’s from your link. For everyone that needs to know the weather on Mars. (Me). I don’t know how reliable the data is going to be but I learned how to make an array (in the node_helper) and push it to the the module.js. I needed to do that in order to rotate the data. So, the simplest of modules but very rewarding because I learned something new.

https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-MARS-Weather

It’s only the very last line that rotates through 8 objects of data. SolDate, season, min and max air temp, atmospheric conditions (Sunny), min and max ground temp, sunrise and sunset at the rover’s locaton. A little css put it right under MARS

I can’t wait for next full moon to hear the wolf audio.

Your wait should be over. MMM-Lunartic just reported a full moon accurately and played the howling wolf sound file as expected.

I forgot I added that and was surprised when the audio played. Fun and pretty cool!

Dear @Mykle1,
since yesterday, I do not get the current picture of the moon anymore, although I did not touch the MMM-Lunartic config. If I do, I can display other info - but not the current image.

I completely removed and reinstalled the module - but that did not solve the problem. I can open the direct link to the current NASA picture from the .js file - so it does not seem, that my IP is blocked from their side.

Do you have any idea, how to get the current picture of the moon back?

Hi,

Yes, I am aware of this problem and am working to correct it. I asked for help in a topic. Hopefully someone will give me some input on fixing it. Otherwise, it will be some time before I can get that working again. In the meantime, don’t use “current or DayNight” as your image in the config entry

[Mykle1]

This is what I’m up against at the moment. Try contacting the US Navy and telling them their API for moon images is not configured properly. This should be fun.

[rudibarani]

@mykle1 I also had to set an “exception”, as the HTTPS Certificate does not match. Maybe there is an option to ignore this threat.

[Mykle1]

@rudibarani

Yeah, I’m going to avoid using an exception, even if I knew how to do that. As you know, (you messaged me) the API started working again and then was gone again for a short period of time. This is encouraging. I think it means they are working on fixing the API. I’m working on a temporary fix but it will take some time. Lets hope they fix the API before I finish the fix.

@mykle1

Hahaha, I’ve heard it two or three days days ago, on last full moon. Awesome!! My sister heard it and she was scared with the wolf sound, hahaha.

[Mykle1]

@qu1que

That’s fantastic. However, there is a problem with the API for the images so the module is having trouble at the moment. I’m looking at some options and @rudibarani has been assisting but I’m still hoping they correct the issue soon.

[qu1que]

@mykle1

Yes, I realised of that module not working, but at the same time, the MMM-SunRiseSet module doesn’t work too. Maybe is the same problem?

Yes, same API, same problem. I’m hoping they fix the API soon. Otherwise, a work-around might be necessary.

[Mykle1]

Temporary fix has been issued

[Mykle1]

I just checked https://api.usno.navy.mil/imagery/moon.png for status. The error has changed (the site is down) which I’ll take as evidence that they are working on the problem. :-)

[Mykle1]

I just wrote an email to the API for Lunartic and SunRiseSet. I got this email address from the contact page for the US Naval Observatory. Would anyone like to help me by sending an email and asking them when the API’s issues will be corrected? I would really appreciate that.

Small fix

Module was not showing the New Moon image.

git pull or install as per the readme
