NASA's Image and Video Library

Learn how to fetch images, videos, and audio content from NASA's library site.

On March 28, 2017, NASA launched a resource called the NASA Image and Video Library, which provides access to images, videos, and audio content gathered by NASA during its missions. We can use this content in our applications to help users explore space and learn more about it. In this lesson, we'll learn about the API, which allows us to access this data programmatically.
