What developers build with the Moon Position API

Real applications shipping on this endpoint today — each with the problem it solves and the numbers that made it worth wiring up.

Moon Photography Planning

Our Moon Position API provides altitude, azimuth, and illumination data for any time and location. Plan compositions with earthly foregrounds, predict when the moon will clear the horizon, and know exactly how bright it will be.

Telescope Pointing & Automation

Feed real-time moon position data directly into your telescope control software. Get precise altitude and azimuth for alt-az mounts, plus parallactic angle for equatorial mount alignment.

Wildlife Activity & Fishing Apps

Integrate moon position data to show users optimal activity windows. When moon altitude indicates the moon is directly overhead (~90°) or underfoot (~-90° from opposite point), highlight these as prime activity times.
