This python 3 software parse a json file and download the image of the day and the description of the image from the Nasa.
The data is downloaded from : https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
The complete description of the image is displayed in the terminal with the link of the HD image.
You can run it with Python 3 and the right libraries or for Windows you can use the .exe software that I created there :
You need to have an Api key from the Nasa. You can have a free key there :
https://api.nasa.gov/index.html#apply-for-an-api-key
Modify this line with your key :
Put the key between the " " without space.
apikey = "Enter-your-api-key-here"
The last version of Python 3.
you also need to have the easygui library for python 3:
At least the version 0.98
sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade easygui
You need wget for python 3:
sudo pip3 install wget
python3 nasapod.py
If you miss a module, install it with the command pip install module-name. For example if you miss PIL you can install it with : sudo pip3 install pillow.
Your user must have read and write access on the current running directory.
Now the software open your default web browser to read the video.
