APOD support/API for smartphone app?

Post by pdh0710 » Tue Apr 01, 2014 3:14 am

(Please excuse my English)

I want to develop a new APOD app for android smartphone.
Is there any APOD's support/API for smartphone app development?
If any, please help me where can I find the support/API.

I could find some APOD apps at Google's android app market,
but they were not suitable for my purpose. Recently I'd studied
on making android app, so I decided make a new APOD app.

Thanks for your advice.
Now I can notice that previous APOD android apps are having no advertisement.

If my APOD app have no commercial advertisement, then the copyright problems
can be solved? Or should I contact with a manager of APOD for the copyright problem?

(Of course, I'd never thought APOD for commercial use)
