i'm hoping to publish astronomy images here, just like the earth imagery - so that you can run your algorithms to detect light blobs, etc.

fair. try the assets endpoint (http://nasa.github.io/api-docs/#assets). but i'll work on this. add an issue here: https://github.com/nasa/api-docs

philadelphia and dallas report official stats, other than that, we use the deadspin project http://www.danham.me/r/2015/01/02/ois-api.html

well, not useless. at least it exposes the complete lack of transparency. it's crazy that we have to cobble together stats from news reports, rather than official reports. that's the point. http://www.danham.me/r/2015/01/02/ois-api.html

I am the developer that left the stack trace on returned exceptions. This is part of my Presidential Innovation Fellowship project at NASA. Yes, we work with the Chief Data Scientist, who is a wonderful and brilliant guy. Yes, we work with state and local governments, too - where "we" is civic tech in the US government (18F, USDS, PIF, among others). I'd love help on these APIs. First step: submit issues on the docs (github.com/nasa/api-docs).
