Eric:

I was able to access the API docs (requiring, with my Firefox, to accept a
security exception.)

https://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/api.php

I have to move on.  I have found that XEphem's Moon declination output is
excellent, so I only have to convert the time format.

Thank you for your help,

Alan

[Fill in the blanks]

The use of corrupt manipulations and blatant rhetorical ploys ...---
outright lying, flagwaving, personal attacks, setting up phony
alternatives, misdirection, jargon-mongering, evading key issues, feigning
disinterested objectivity, willful misunderstanding of other points of
view---suggests that ... lacks both credibility and evidence.
