Close Approaches

List near-Earth asteroid/comet close approaches to Earth within a date window and maximum distance, from NASA JPL's Close-Approach Data API.

Overview

List near-Earth asteroid/comet close approaches to Earth within a date window and maximum distance, from NASA JPL's Close-Approach Data API. Filter by dateMin / dateMax (YYYY-MM-DD) and distMaxAu (max approach distance in AU; default 0.05 AU ≈ 19.5 lunar distances). Each approach: object designation, close-approach date (UTC), nominal + minimum distance in AU and lunar distances, relative velocity (km/s), and absolute magnitude H (a size proxy). Sorted nearest-first. Planetary-defense, observation planning, and "what's passing by this month" queries. Public-domain NASA/JPL data; for full physical/orbital params of a listed object see /api/space/body.

How to call it

Requests are paid per call over the x402 protocol. Call the endpoint, receive a 402 Payment Required quote, then repeat the request with the signed payment header. The SDKs do both steps for you.

# 1. Ask for a quote
curl -i https://api.jarvisclaw.ai/v1/marketplace/api/close-approaches

# 2. Pay it (the SDK signs and retries for you)
curl -H "X-PAYMENT: <signed-payload>" https://api.jarvisclaw.ai/v1/marketplace/api/close-approaches
