Pre-generated API Queries

This page contains a collection of pre-generated URLs that will return data through the Exoplanet Archive's Table Access Protocol (TAP) service and Application Programming Interface (API). The URLs can be copied and pasted into a web browser (for https:// queries) or a command-line interface (for wget queries). Note that you must have wget installed for wget queries.

Note: The default file format for all of the queries on this page is IPAC table format. To change formats, refer to the instructions in the File Format section of the API User Guide.

To request a specific pre-built query for this page, please submit a Helpdesk ticket.
