Hello!

I saw a few posts about the fact that websites have to be whitelisted for external access. I am building a Django web application for class and currently, blogs.nasa.gov is blocked from the list of allowed websites.

Specifically, I am using a text scraper (Beautifulsoup) to grab blog posts and put them on the website with a link to the actual site and RSS feed.

I would just like to know if I could have this whitelisted so that I can test my website live. Thanks, and thanks for the test environments!

We only whitelist sites that have publicly documented APIs. If they have an API, send a link to the documentation that shows the domain of the API.

https://api.nasa.gov/ is a NASA API portal if that counts.

Here is an example of some api.nasa.gov API calls.

Just to clarify, are you trying to get blogs.nasa.gov onto our whitelist or api.nasa.gov?
