Hi all,
I hope this is the correct forum for this question
I have an issue getting data in votable format.
When I use this link I get an error returned:
https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=query.votable&coords=78.2910921733331+33.3128844170188&size=35.0&unit=2&order=9
If I change it to this, it works fine:
https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=results.get&coords=78.2910921733331+33.3128844170188&size=35.0&unit=2&order=9
Could someone take a look?
Thanks in advance,
Nick
I think the problem is a non-ascii character in the return stream.
I'm looking into this.

There are other methods for getting VSX information: https://www.aavso.org/apis-aavso-resources
What are you looking for?

Hi George,
I am working on the exoplanet plugin for Nina.
I'm looking to get a list of variable stars around a target star, but in a format that's programmatically readable.
Basically I want to check for variable stars within an image and mark them, so the user knows they are not usable as comparison stars.
If there's a different option, maybe with a json format, that would be great too.
Thanks, Nick
I think I will use this instead:
https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=api.list&ra=78.291092&dec=+33.3128&radius=1&tomag=18&format=json
That seems to give what I need.
I don't think it was an option, when I was first working on the plugin.
Thanks again, Nick
The other API of interest would be the stars that have been vetted by the AAVSO Sequence Team as reliable comparison stars.
These are available from the VSD with:
https://www.aavso.org/apps/vsp/api/chart/?format=xml&ra=196.421&dec=18.018&fov=15&maglimit=14

Yes, I get…
Thanks George,
Yes, I get the comparison stars already.
That's still working fine.
Cheers Nick
