| Aug 13, 2019 at 0:37 | comment | added | uhoh | There may be an answer at Where can I find/visualize planets/stars/moons/etc positions? or not, I don't really know what does or doesn't count as an API for you in your case, or if you really need a proper API or something else will do. If you can use Python then Skyfield works quite nicely. If you like compiled code, then Spice... | |
