Right now, I haven't tried any APIs in code mainly because I can't actually find one with the information I need. Im mainly looking for one that can give information such as RA, DEC, angular size, distance from Earth, mainly those. However I could use SIMBAD for the RA and DEC. So currently, anything is open

Are there any good DSO API's for python out there?
