NASA integration

NASA Open APIs (APOD + Mars rover)

NASA's Open APIs expose various Mars rover and astronomy datasets for public use — including the famously-popular Astronomy Picture of the Day. Tiny Command exposes two actions, no triggers: Astronomy Picture of the Day (returns the day's NASA-curated image with title, explanation, and image URL — popular for daily Slack bots and "image of the day" workflows in news/education contexts), Mars Rover Photos (paginated photos from the Curiosity, Opportunity, and Spirit rovers — filterable by Earth date and camera). The connection uses a NASA API key from api.nasa.gov (free, registration takes one minute). For workflows that want to display daily fresh NASA content (educational Slack channels, science newsletters, ambient displays), this is the source. APOD is the most widely-used NASA endpoint; Mars Rover photos are useful for "show me a fresh Mars image" workflows.

Actions

Do anything NASA can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

Action	What it does	Inputs	Open action
Get NASA APOD	Returns the day's astronomy image with title, explanation, image URL. For "daily NASA image in Slack" or "weekly science newsletter image" workflows.	1 input	View
Get NASA Mars Rover Photos	Returns photos from Curiosity/Opportunity/Spirit rovers for a specific Earth date. For "today on Mars" workflows (query yesterday's Earth date for lag in Mars-to-Earth transmission).	3 inputs	View

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect NASA once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every NASA field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

Questions about the NASA integration.

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect NASA to Tiny Command?

Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a NASA node, and click Connect. Authorize NASA once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.

What NASA triggers does Tiny Command support?

Tiny Command focuses on outbound actions for NASA today. Use Tiny Command's universal Webhook or Schedule trigger to start NASA workflows, then run any NASA action you need.

What NASA actions can I run from a workflow?

2 NASA actions are available out of the box, covering other operations like "Get NASA APOD". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.

Is the NASA integration real-time?

NASA actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for NASA's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.

Do I need to write code to use NASA with Tiny Command?

No. Every NASA trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any NASA API endpoint directly.

How much does the NASA integration cost?

There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The NASA integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
