Comment(by Aymeric):

 That URL should work for all relays with DirPort 80,
 --> Ah, yes, of course...
  which is only a subset of them. A better approach would be to run a local
 Tor client and grep the cached-descriptors[.new] file. But most
 Onionoo/Atlas users wouldn't be interested in cryptographic keys, so I
 think we shouldn't add them.
 --> Right now I am not very clear about how the cached-descriptor is
 updated by the relays and downloaded, and how you catch the updated info
 into Onionoo and at what frequency. I would like to use what I think is a
 faster method for my purpose (ie no grep of cached-descriptor), storing
 minimal information about relays (fingerprint-ports-bandwidth) and
 retrieving keys dynamically (so I can check at the same time that the
 relay is alive), that's why I thought to the above method but this does
 not work, I think it would be good to have this kind of way to retrieve
 information real time without the need of a cached-descriptor
