Spaceflight News API

Title-linked news for the companies and specialist programmes in this directory

Evidence, with boundaries

Useful context.
Honest limits.

  1. 01

    Early discovery needs corroboration

    Incubators and grants reveal companies worth researching. We check their own publications before adding capabilities, and retain gaps.

  2. 02

    Dates describe different things

    Article publication, feed retrieval and editorial profile review are separate dates. A new headline does not silently refresh a specification.

  3. 03

    Read the terms of each source

    We use short factual references, selected metadata and original links. Public access does not grant blanket redistribution rights; reference-only databases are not being scraped or sold as our own.
