NASA APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) API PROJECT using Python This project demonstrates how to use the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) API to download and save an image from a specific date. Before running the Python code, make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.0 or higher
• requests module (can be installed with pip install requests)
• pillow module (can be installed with pip install pillow)
• A NASA API key (can be obtained from https://api.nasa.gov/)

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository or download the main.py file.
2. Open the apod.py file in your text editor.
3. Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your NASA API key.
4. Replace the date and file_path variables with your desired date and file path.
5. Save the changes to the file.

Usage

To download and save an APOD image, run the main.py script in your terminal or command prompt with the command python main.py. The image from the specified date will be downloaded and saved to the file path you specified.

Example

python main.py
