Spaceflight News API
Spaceflight news from The Space Devs' keyless Spaceflight News API (SNAPI v4): articles from about 40 publishers (SpaceNews, NASASpaceflight, Spaceflight Now, Space.com, Ars Technica, NASA, ESA ...), blogs and ISS daily reports, searchable by text, title, publisher and date, plus the news linked to a Launch Library 2 launch or event. Each item has title, publisher, link, summary, authors, publication time and linked LL2 launch and event ids. Summaries and links only; the full story stays on the publisher's site.
