#Mars Temperature
This is a simple project made using node.js which provides the temperature details of Mars with the help of the Mars Atmospheric Aggregation System {MAAS} API provided by NASA
##Introduction
After download make sure the current directory of the shell being used is the src
folder which is inside the root
folder.
For the first time and if any changes are made to the mars.js file the following command is to be used:
$ npm install -g
##Help
To see the list of operations that can be done use the following:
$ Mars -h
##Latest information
To see the latest temperatute details of Mars, use the following command:
$ Mars latest
##Information in a range of date
To see the information in a range of rage, use the followong command:
$ Mars range <start date> <end date>
For example:
-
if we want the information from 11th of April, 2016 to 10th of May, 2016, use the following command:
$ Mars range 2016-04-11 2016-05-10
-
if we want the information on date 12th of April, 2016, use the command:
$ Mars range 2016-04-12 2016-04-12
Note: The {MAAS} API does not provide information daily, so some dates might show no results
##Information represented as a graph
To see a line graph for the information on a given range of date use the following command:
$ Mars graph <start date> <end date>
For example:
if we want the graph of the information from 11th of April, 2016 to 10th of May, 2016, use the following command:
$ Mars graph 2016-04-11 2016-05-10
This will produce a URL
on the shell, by following which the graph can be viewed
This graph is created using the google chart API
Note: An error may occur if the number of stats to be plotted exceeds a given maximum (depending on google chart API)
