Is there any way to get up-to-date coordinates on it? ESA's Estrack network seems to track it, but there seems to be no public API (https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Operations/ESA_ground_s...)

And asteroid-like orbital elements or NORAD TLE's don't seem to apply here (?) since

> A two-line element set (TLE) is a data format encoding a list of orbital elements of an Earth-orbiting object for a given point in time, the epoch.

which won't really be true in its later part of the orbit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrayaan-3#/media/File:Anim...) and it is changing its orbit constantly
