An open-source REST API serving SpaceX launch, rocket, core, capsule, Starlink, launchpad, and landing pad data, hosted publicly at api.spacexdata.com. It is built with Node.js and Koa, deployable via Docker, and is not affiliated with SpaceX.

Use cases

  • get spacex launch data via api
  • fetch starlink satellite information
  • query rocket and capsule details
  • build a space launch tracking app
  • get launchpad and landing pad data
  • self-host a spacex data api

When to choose

  • you need structured JSON data about SpaceX launches, rockets, or Starlink
  • you want a free public API without an API key
  • you want to self-host the API via Docker

When to avoid

  • you need real-time telemetry or official SpaceX data
  • you need data about other space agencies or providers
  • you require guaranteed uptime or SLAs
