FAQs

Do I need an API key? No. The NASA NTRS API is publicly accessible with no authentication required.

How many documents can I scrape? Up to 2000 per run. The actor pages through results automatically.

Are PDF links always available? No. Not all documents have associated PDF files. The actor extracts a PDF link when available, preferring STI-type downloads.

What is an STI type? STI (Scientific and Technical Information) types classify the kind of document — Technical Report, Conference Paper, Journal Article, etc.

Can I filter by multiple centers? Currently one center can be selected per run. Run the actor multiple times with different center values and merge results if needed.

How far back does the data go? NTRS contains documents dating back to the early days of NASA, including NACA reports from the 1940s and 1950s.

What subjects are covered? Aerospace engineering, propulsion, aeronautics, space science, materials science, robotics, communications, Earth observation, and more.
