Elevation API

unhealthy 3,656 Subscribers

Terrain elevation in metres above sea level for any coordinate — a single point or a batch of up to 50 points for route and grid profiles. Ideal for hiking and outdoor apps, mapping, drone flight planning, solar siting, flood and line-of-sight analysis.

Solar Position API — oanor API marketplace

Solar Position API

Solar-position astronomy as an API, computed locally and deterministically with the NOAA solar-calculator algorithm. The position endpoint gives the sun's elevation (altitude above the horizon), azimuth (clockwise from true north), zenith angle and hour angle for any latitude, longitude, date and local time with a UTC offset — telling you exactly where the sun is in the sky and whether it is above the horizon. The declination endpoint gives the solar declination — the sun's angle north or south of the equator, about +23.44° at the June solstice and −23.44° in December — and the equation of time, the difference between apparent and mean solar time, for any date. The solar-noon endpoint gives the local clock time of solar noon, the peak (noon) elevation 90 − |latitude − declination| and the day length, handling polar day and polar night. Latitudes and longitudes are in degrees (north and east positive), dates are YYYY-MM-DD and times HH:MM:SS local. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for solar-tracking, PV-panel-orientation, photography golden-hour, agriculture, shading-analysis and astronomy app developers, sun-path and daylight tools, and STEM teaching. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is the sun's position in the sky; for sunrise and sunset clock times use a sunrise API and for solar irradiance and PV resource a solar-resource API.

 Home Canning API — oanor API marketplace

Home Canning API

Home-canning maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the altitude adjustments that keep a batch of preserves safe, the numbers a canner, homesteader or recipe app processes a jar by. Because water boils cooler the higher you are, every tested sea-level recipe has to run longer or hotter, and this API does that arithmetic. The waterbath endpoint applies the USDA boiling-water-bath and steam-canner rule: for a base process of 20 minutes or less add 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes by altitude band, and for more than 20 minutes add 10, 20, 30 or 40 — so a 15-minute pickle recipe at 4,000 feet processes 25 minutes, and a 30-minute one runs 50. The pressure endpoint adjusts the canner: a dial gauge gains 1 psi per 2,000 feet, turning an 11 psi recipe into 12, 13, 14 or 15, while a weighted gauge simply steps from 10 psi up to 1,000 feet to 15 above it, since it only has 5/10/15 settings. The boilingpoint endpoint gives the underlying reason — water boils about 1.84 °F lower per 1,000 feet, so 5,000 feet boils at 202.8 °F instead of 212. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for canning, food-preservation, homesteading, recipe and kitchen app developers, preserving-calculator and pantry tools, and cooking-class software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. USDA tables — always follow a tested recipe. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints.

 OpenStreetMap Community API — oanor API marketplace

OpenStreetMap Community API

Live OpenStreetMap community and contribution data as an API — the people and the edits behind the collaborative free world map, served from the official OSM API. Look up any mapper by their user id for their profile (display name, account age, total changesets and GPS traces, roles), pull a user's recent changesets — each edit batch with its comment, the editor used, and how many map features it created, modified or deleted — or read the open and resolved map notes, the community feedback pins, inside a geographic bounding box. The OSM contributor-and-edits layer for mapping, community and dashboard apps. Live, no key. Distinct from geocoding, routing and map-tile APIs that merely consume OpenStreetMap data — this is the OSM community and editing activity itself.

 Meteorites API — oanor API marketplace

Meteorites API

NASA's catalogue of 45,000+ meteorites recovered on Earth as an API. For each meteorite: its name, NASA id, classification (recclass, e.g. L5, Iron), mass in grams, whether it was seen to fall or simply found, the year, and the latitude/longitude where it was recovered. Look one up by name or id, find the meteorites NEAR any coordinate (great-circle distance), rank by mass or year, list a classification or year, or search. Great for space, education, mapping and museum apps. Distinct from asteroids and close-approach data — these are rocks already on the ground.
