Description
See http://argonaut.skymaps.info/ for the service. http://argonaut.skymaps.info/usage#API gives a lot of the necessary query code, but it doesn't show use with astropy or anything (and requires doing things like constructing the API calls yourself).
One possible concern - it's not clear how "stable" this site will be because I think it's just a few authors hosting it rather than an "organization".

Research direction
Start with the Pan-STARRS dust-mapping service at http://argonaut.skymaps.info/ and its API usage page at http://argonaut.skymaps.info/usage#API. Determine whether the service is stable enough to support before designing the module and its astropy integration. Done means astroquery provides a working, documented way to query this service without manually constructing API calls.
