APOD Ingestion Timing

[hermda02]

After playing around with the API for a bit, it appears that today's APOD details are not available through the API.

For context, I am based in Europe. When I start my workday I check APOD and can see the images. I want to integrate an API call into a self-hosted dashboard to see the APOD as a part of that dashboard. It appears the details have not been ingested into the API database alongside the apod.nasa.gov update.

To avoid web-scraping I would appreciate pushing an update to align with midnight UTC, or at least midnight EST.

Here is an example for today's curl request:

$ date
Fri Sep 11 12:59:00 PM CEST 2026

$ curl -s "https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod?api_key=${NASA_API_KEY}&date=2026-09-11"
{"code":404,"msg":"No data available for date: 2026-09-11","service_version":"v1"}

Please let me know if I can contribute in any way.

Best,
Daniel
