API Key
The NASA api has strict limits. These can be mitigated by getting an api key. To add your api_key, send it in with adding your APOD as a baseplate child. It should look like this:
baseplate_proxy.add_child(APOD, key=your_api_key_goes_here)
Installation
cd into the current directory
pip3 install .
This is a Lego designed for use with Legobot, so you'll get Legobot along with this. To deploy it, import the package and add it to the active legos like so:
# This is the legobot stuff
from Legobot import Lego
# This is your lego
from legos.apod import APOD
# Legobot stuff here
lock = threading.Lock()
baseplate = Lego.start(None, lock)
baseplate_proxy = baseplate.proxy()
# Add your lego
baseplate_proxy.add_child(APOD, key=your_api_key_goes_here)
Tweaking
While you can use this one as-is, you could also add a localized version to your Legobot deployment by grabbing apod.py and deploying it as a local module. Example of a Legobot instance with local modules
