Managed Execution
Jede Zahl unten stammt direkt aus dem Live-Space.com-Endpunktkatalog — 5 Endpunkte, 9 dokumentierte Request-Parameter und 5 veröffentlichte Response-Schemas — demselben Katalog, gegen den auch Docs und Playground laufen.
5 documented Space.com endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those Space.com endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 Space.com endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Space.com endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
5 hosted MCP tools back the Space.com endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpunktkatalog
/space/articleReturns a Space.com article by canonical `url` in any of the site's URL shapes, including older `.html` reference pages: title, description, section, authors, publication and update times, image and body `paragraphs`. `/news/live/` pages return only their introductory paragraphs, and membership-gated content returns only its public preview.
MCP-Tool space_article
/space/authorReturns a Space.com author's profile, looked up by `slug` (for example `elizabeth-howell`) or canonical `url`; exactly one is required. The response has the name, `job_title`, biography, image and the first batch of recent articles on the author page. That page has no URL-based pagination, so no further articles are available.
MCP-Tool space_author
/space/headlinesReturns the latest Space.com stories for one category. `section` is required and takes a slug from `space-sections`, which joins nested category paths with hyphens, such as `astronomy`, `astronomy-solar-system-mars` or `stargazing-meteor-showers`. Each item has its title, URL, summary, author, publication time and image. Other values return a 400.
MCP-Tool space_headlines
/space/newsReturns the latest Space.com top stories (space, astronomy and skywatching news) from the site's latest-news hub. Takes no parameters. Each item has its title, URL, summary, author, publication time and image.
MCP-Tool space_news
/space/sectionsLists the Space.com categories that `space-headlines` accepts, from `astronomy`, `entertainment`, `science`, `space-exploration`, `stargazing` and `technology` down to their subcategories. Each entry has a `slug`, a display `name` and the category `url`. Slugs join the nested path with hyphens, so `astronomy-solar-system-mars` maps to `/astronomy/solar-system/mars`.

So scrapst du Space.com
Space.com, a Future publication, combines astronomy and spaceflight reporting with skywatching advice, telescope guidance, and explanations of scientific discoveries. A launch update, an observing calendar, and an equipment recommendation have different time horizons. Keep these editorial purposes separate: a skywatching item may remain useful for a specific night, while a spacecraft mission page can be revised as new information appears.
Call /space/sections to inspect the publisher's current taxonomy. Start with spaceflight, science, skywatching, or equipment sections according to the research question. These beats distinguish missions from consumer observing advice.
Use /space/headlines for a selected section and /space/news for the broader current stream. Collect current headlines around a launch or celestial event and retain publication time. A schedule mentioned in a story may change, so use the article as a dated report.
Pass a canonical public URL to /space/article and use /space/author for the named contributor when available. Read the full public article and its byline to capture mission names, observing location, and cited agencies. Keep source links before summarizing a scientific claim.
FAQ
The spaceflight feed can surface launch reporting and explainers. Store the mission name, operator, article timestamp, and URL, then check current launch information with the operator; an editorial article is a dated snapshot, not a live countdown.
Preserve the event date, viewing region, and observing conditions described by the source. A telescope guide or meteor-shower explainer should not be counted as a new astronomical discovery merely because it appears in a fresh feed.
Keep equipment advice in its own content type. A guide may remain useful across many skywatching events, while a mission report follows a changing launch or spacecraft timeline.
