Astrometry.net API

[Jeff Jones]

I would like to use the Astrometry.net API.  I'm trying to locate some documentation for it.  All of the links on the API page result in 500 error or a memory error.  Can anyone shed some light on the status of the API and any documentation on the calls?

 

Thanks, Jeff...

Oops, I gave the web server a kick and the 500 errors are gone.

I'm afraid the documentation sucks.  Really, the client.py code is the best, along with the server-side urls.py (http://trac.astrometry.net/browser/trunk/src/astrometry/net/urls.py).  If you search this forum for "api", you'll see a few threads that cover some API issues (sometimes in gory detail).
