Abstract: This paper presents the integration of publicly available APIs provided by NASA to develop a web-based application for accessing and visualizing space-related data. The study focuses on APIs such as Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), Mars Rover Photos, and Near-Earth Object (NEO) data. The objective is to demonstrate how RESTful API integration can be implemented using modern web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The system retrieves real-time data from NASA servers, processes JSON responses, and displays meaningful information to users in a structured format. The application improves user engagement by providing interactive and dynamic content related to space exploration. The results indicate that NASA APIs are reliable, efficient, and suitable for educational and research-based applications. Challenges such as API rate limits, data handling, and network dependency are also addressed. The paper concludes that API integration plays a vital role in building scalable and real-time application.
