PDS Registry API

The Planetary Data System has created a Registry database to catalog the PDS4-formatted holding of the PDS. It also includes items from international partners, such as ESA's PSA.

The PDS Registry provides a ReST-ful web API for accessing its contents. Documentation on the PDS Registry's API is found here:

The PDS developed an open-source Python library, named PDS Peppi, for the using the PDS API. It provides an intuitive interface for the research community to query and extract data from the PDS.

ODE's product detail pages provide direct links to the meta-data of Bundles, Collections, and Products from PDS4 products' detail pages. Here is an example:

 

For the example above, each link will open the detail page from the Registry API in a web browser for the bundle, collection, and product. The results are shown in JSON format (JavaScript Object Notation) by default.

Examples:

Bundle:
https://pds.nasa.gov/api/search/1/products/urn:nasa:pds:venus_radar_level2

Collection: 
https://pds.nasa.gov/api/search/1/products/urn:nasa:pds:venus_radar_level2:data

Product:
https://pds.nasa.gov/api/search/1/products/urn:nasa:pds:venus_radar_level2:data:venus_1988_north_scp
