API key setup

  • Get your API keys from NASA.
  • Make a .env file in the root of the project and add the api key to the API_KEY variable. (Refer the example.env file already present in the repository) . The reason for this is that the API key is confidential and already added to gitignore so that it wont get pushed to github.

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Contributing

  • Refer this Contributing.md file for the guidelines for contributing to the project.

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/hello. This endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.js.

The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.
