“Current Location of the International Space Station” is an API that, as the name suggests,  provides the user with access to information on the location of the international station. The object contains a timestamp for when the information was collected and a location object with the longitude and latitudes of the space station. The data for the API is relayed from the NORAD and NASA databases and verified using “Two Line Element.” This API can be used to potentially map out the path of the International Space Station and determine relative position from the user, to get a sense of scope for this celestial machine. The API, unfortunately does not have information on the altitude of international space station, which is a piece of relevant information I imagine exists
