Stellarium Remote controll API cannot fetch data for minor solar system bodies such as Vesta, Ceres, Eris

[Jake Wahome]

I have been trying to use Stellarium's Remote Control API to query the system for positional data of various solar system objects. The API works fine for the major bodies such as the Sun and the major planets including Pluto. However, it will not fetch data for minor bodies such as Vesta, Ceres, and Eris. And yes, I have updated the database with the most recent MPC data. I have also tried it using different versions of Stellarium PC including v25.2, v24.4, and v23.4. 

I have attached screenshots for results when I search for Pluto and Vesta

You must query the full name like:

http://localhost:8090/api/objects/info?format=json&name=(1)%20Ceres

Did your URL work last year?

Thank you. This has worked. 

No. I only started working with the remote control plugin a couple of weeks ago.
