Public API

Explorer exposes the community's published data as a documented, token-protected JSON API: daily activity aggregates, observations, images and observer profiles — the same data that powers this site.

Getting a token

Access tokens are issued manually and free of charge for research and educational use. Reach out through Wolf.Solar with a short description of your project, and you will receive a personal token to pass as a Bearer header.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  https://explorer.wolf.solar/api/v1/activity/daily?from=2026-01-01

Fair use & attribution

Every call is journaled and rate-limited (60 requests per minute by default). Any publication or product built on this data must credit it: “Data © the Wolf.Solar community observers”.
