For developers
Use the API
This site is a front end over a free, read-only REST API. Query the same data directly — no key, no sign-up.
Base URL
https://api.sol.wickedsick.com/api/v1A worked example
Fetch the full record for Saturn:
curl https://api.sol.wickedsick.com/api/v1/objects/planet-saturnOr search across names, designations and discoverers:
curl "https://api.sol.wickedsick.com/api/v1/search?q=halley&limit=5"Rate limits
The API is rate-limited to roughly 60 requests per minute and 1,000 per day per IP — generous for browsing and small apps. If you need bulk access, the whole SQLite database is committed to the backend repository and free to clone.
