NASA InSight API not working for you?
- NASA InSight needs an API key. A 401 or 403 usually means a missing, expired or mis-sent credential: check whether it belongs in a header or the query string.
- A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header.
- If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
- Check the provider's documentation, status page or social accounts for planned maintenance or a changed endpoint.

NASA InSight API status FAQ
Is NASA InSight API down right now?

How do you check whether NASA InSight API is up?
Once a day our checker requests NASA InSight's listed URL (https://api.nasa.gov/) and records whether it answers within 15 seconds. Answers like 401 (needs a key), 403 (blocks bots) or 429 (rate-limited) count as up, because the server responded. The listed URL is often the documentation page, so an API endpoint can occasionally fail while its docs stay up.
What can I use if NASA InSight API is down?
Free Science & Math APIs that were up at their last check include GBIF, Macrostrat, Chempirical. See the full list of NASA InSight alternatives for a comparison.
Why does NASA InSight API work for others but not for me?
NASA InSight needs an API key. A 401 or 403 usually means a missing, expired or mis-sent credential: check whether it belongs in a header or the query string. A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header. If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
