A server-to-server web app to consume NASA's API portal. APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day) API consuming is now implemented. More API's from the portal will follow.
cd to $GOPATH/src/github directory of your Go installation and clone with the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/niconc/littleExplorer.git
Step #1.
Open terminal or iterm or any terminal emulator, and run the server with the following command:
$ go run littleExplorer.go
Step #2.
You will be prompted to enter the NASA's API Key. Enter your API Key from NASA's portal (if you have one) otherwise DEMO_KEY will be used.
Step #3.
Open a browser and run the server locally by using localhost:3000/apod/2020-12-25. This will call the NASA's APOD API and return the picture of the date given at the address bar (2020-12-25). You may also not entering any date at all, like localhost:3000/apod, and in that case, the current day's picture of the day will be returned.
If you like Astronomy, Enjoy!!!
_*BTW, Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year for 2021!
