Original Abstract
The Solar System Notification Alert Processing System, SNAPS, is a downstream broker that ingests moving object data from ZTF and LSST and serves these data and derived properties to the public. This document describes how users can access our SNAPS data and products. This is intended to be a living document that will be updated on the arXiv when significant improvements are made to our data access schemes, and will therefore always contain the most up to date information about interacting with our databases and infrastructure. This is version 1.0.
