media-asset-retrieval
Resolve a searchable NASA media item into its files, metadata, and captions.
Searches the NASA Image and Video Library for a term, resolves the first match into its asset manifest and metadata location, and fetches captions when the match is a video.
1
searchArchive
Search the NASA Image and Video Library. The response carries collection items whose data blocks hold the nasa_id needed by every later step, plus a total_hits count used to decide whether there is anything to resolve.
2
resolveAssetManifest
Resolve the nasa_id from the search hit into its asset manifest. The manifest lists an href for every rendition NASA holds for that media item (thumbnail, small, medium, original), which is what a client actually downloads.
3
resolveMetadata
Fetch the metadata location for the same nasa_id. NASA returns a signed URL pointing at the full metadata document rather than the metadata itself, so the caller follows the returned location.
4
resolveCaptions
Video assets carry a separate captions file. Resolve its location so the caller can attach captions alongside the downloaded video rendition.
