Rovie

Rovie is a Discord bot developed to enhance user engagement in the Space Station Discord server by leveraging NASA's API for space-related information.

Features

NASA API Integration: Connects to NASA's API to fetch and display real-time imagery from mars rovers Curiosity, Perseverance, Opportunity, and Spirit.

Installation

To set up Rovie on your local machine, follow these steps:

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/alexdovzhanyn/rovie.git

Navigate to the Project Directory:
```
cd rovie
```
Install the Dependencies:
```
npm install
```

Configuration

Before running the bot, you need to set up the environment configuration file:

CSet Up the Env Configuration: In the root directory of the project, rename the file named _env.json to env.json. Update the file with:
```
{
  "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your_discord_bot_token",
  "DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID": "your_discord_channel_id",
  "NASA_API_KEY": "your_nasa_api_key"
}
```
- By default, the rover photo fetching will run once every 3 hours. If you'd like to fetch more often than that, change ROVER_PHOTO_FREQUENCY_MS to something else (in milliseconds).

Usage

To start the bot, execute the following command in your terminal:

npm start
