NASA's NTRS (nasa/api-docs#161), OSDR (open science data repository), and TechPort APIs all had CORS issues. Tried to mitigate using the JSONP (JSON with padding) but those attempts were blocked by all three APIs as well.

NASA's TechTransfer Spinoff API has a really cool list of NASA technologies and special features they have that allowed them to be applied outside of their typical domain, which is incredibly useful information for the reframing step of the biomimicry process.

Resolves #136.

Just curious, why was this name chosen for this function?

I ended up running into that issue where BIDARA defaulted to doing a Semantic Scholar search even when my prompt was worded to direct it towards checking the Spinoff API. With the data that Spinoff provides, I feel like it could also be really useful to help the biomimeticist think outside of the current problem confines on where to look for information.

Try different variations of the function description or name to see if it can consistently call your function when given instruction similar to , "find nasa technology that ..." or "find nasa spinoffs that ...".
