(gaia-kepler.fun crossmatch database)
(website that had Gaia data on Kepler target stars)

The website, gaia-kepler.fun held a database with stars that are in both the Kepler Telescope (including K2) and Gaia data. Thus, for the Kepler target-star, the Gaia information such as parallax/distance and proper motion was easily looked up. Matches were those within a certain small angular distance of each other, which lead to some ambiguities (multiple stars that match a single star) and the database offered them all.
