Description

Today, the API repository was archived. The Mars Rover Photos documentation block on api.nasa.org is now invalid. Will there be a replacement that will allow us to obtain photos of Mars just as easily?

Research direction

Determine whether a supported replacement exists and what API documentation would need to change; done means the block points to a working replacement or the project records a clear resolution.
