NASA DONKI Connector
Overview
The NASA DONKI Connector provides a RESTful interface to access real-time and historical space weather event data sourced from the NASA DONKI (Database of Notifications, Knowledge, Information) system. This includes Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), Solar Flares, Geomagnetic Storms, and more. It enables scientific, educational, and operational applications that rely on accurate solar activity tracking and forecasting.
Integration Overview
The NASA DONKI Connector provides the following integration points:
- Get Coronal Mass Ejections (CME)
- Get CME Analysis Data
- Get Solar Energetic Particle Events (SEP)
- Get Solar Flare Events
- Get Geomagnetic Storm Events (GST)
- Get Interplanetary Shock Events (IPS)
- Get Magnetopause Crossing Events (MPC)
- Get Radiation Belt Enhancements (RBE)
- Get HSS (High-Speed Streams) Events
- Get Notifications
