Insight Library

Python library for the Mars Insight Raw Images API.

Made with the intention of archiving all of the images from the Mars Insight Lander project since, from the time of writing, it is close to being closed down.

Also never made a library before so should be an experience.

Requirements

• python-requests

• Python 3.10+ (not sure if any older versions work)

Documentation

Note: does not yet support switching pages.
