Parameters
----------
id : str, required
Name, number, or designation of the object to be queried
location : str or dict, optional
Observer's location for ephemerides queries or center body
name for orbital element or vector queries. Uses the same
codes as JPL Horizons. If no location is provided, Earth's
center is used for ephemerides queries and the Sun's
center for elements and vectors queries. Arbitrary topocentic
coordinates for ephemerides queries can be provided in the
format of a dictionary. The
dictionary has to be of the form {``'lon'``: longitude in
deg (East positive, West negative), ``'lat'``: latitude in
deg (North positive, South negative), ``'elevation'``:
elevation in km above the reference ellipsoid, [``'body'``:
Horizons body ID of the central body; optional; if this value
is not provided it is assumed that this location is on Earth]}.
epochs : scalar, list-like, or dictionary, optional
Either a list of epochs in JD or MJD format or a dictionary
defining a range of times and dates; the range dictionary has to
be of the form {``'start'``:'YYYY-MM-DD [HH:MM:SS]',
``'stop'``:'YYYY-MM-DD [HH:MM:SS]', ``'step'``:'n[y|d|m|s]'}.
If no epochs are provided, the current time is used.
id_type : str, optional
Identifier type, options:
``'smallbody'``, ``'majorbody'`` (planets but also
anything that is not a small body), ``'designation'``,
``'name'``, ``'asteroid_name'``, ``'comet_name'``,
``'id'`` (Horizons id number), or ``'smallbody'`` (find the
closest match under any id_type), default: ``'smallbody'``

Reference plane for all output quantities: ``'ecliptic'``
(ecliptic and mean equinox of reference epoch), ``'earth'``
(Earth mean equator and equinox of reference epoch), or
``'body'`` (body mean equator and node of date); default:
``'ecliptic'``
tp_type : string
Representation for time-of-perihelion passage: ``'absolute'`` or
``'relative'`` (to epoch); default: ``'absolute'``
closest_apparition : boolean, optional
Only applies to comets. This option will choose the
closest apparition available in time to the selected
epoch; default: False. Do not use this option for
non-cometary objects.
no_fragments : boolean, optional
Only applies to comets. Reject all comet fragments from
selection; default: False. Do not use this option for
non-cometary objects.
get_query_payload : boolean, optional
When set to ``True`` the method returns the HTTP request
parameters as a dict, default: False
get_raw_response: boolean, optional
Return raw data as obtained by JPL Horizons without parsing the
data into a table, default: False
Returns
-------
response : `requests.Response`
The response of the HTTP request.
