Hi, I am currently programming a VB.NET class to access Astrometry.NET API.
This works perfect, but I have one point which is not clear to me:

I would like to get the small SkyPlotZoom picture from the result page. The ID of the picture is one of the ID's present in the submission status calibration entries, but I do not know which one. Sometimes it is the first, sometimes it is not.

Any hint where I can get the ID from? The result page seems not to have the correct ID in it.

Best regards Martin.

Hi,
I'm not actually sure off-hand if there is an easy way to get that ID via the API.  Can I ask you to poke around (eg maybe this call, https://github.com/dstndstn/astrometry.net/blob/main/net/urls.py#L200 ) and see if it gets reported?  If not, I can add it.
cheers,
dustin

Hi, as seen in this example from the API page
https://nova.astrometry.net/api/submissions/1019520
I get
{"user": 1, "processing_started": "2016-03-29 15:02:11.967627", "processing_finished": "2016-03-29 15:02:13.010625", "user_images": [1051223], "images": [2273026], "jobs": [1493115], "job_calibrations": [[1493115, 785516]]} but I do not know which of the ID's is the correct for the SkyZoom image. Also the info page does not contain any number related to this.
Is there any description why there can be multiple calibration ID's?
But perhaps it is easier to add is just in the info page as the information must be around somewhere ...
Best regards Martin.

Ahh, I see, the job_calibrations element is a list of (job_id, calib_id) pairs.  See how the 1493115 matches the entry in "jobs"?
cheers,

OK, perfect, I think I just mixed the ID's in my first try, now it works perfect for me :-)
