This might get you started. I shows how to use the Wikipedia api. Using NASA api's would be similar.

Try the example, then try one of NASA's api's. If you have trouble, show us what you tried and someone will help :slight_smile:
Be aware NASA api's require an api key. It is free from Nasa for the asking.
Which api are you trying to access?

Here is an example showing how to use the api of the NWS (USA National Weather Service) ☂️ NWS 🌩️ Weather ❄️ App

See the example App "Picture Of The Day" here to get daily at a given time the Astromomic picture of the day by the NASA APOD API

Simplified NASA AOPD api


where Web1.Url is https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod?api_key=DEMO_KEY

NASA makes available many other apis that work the same way.

Make it fancy and load on app start:
