NASA data API
I have no idea what, but I'm totally building something with these. Edit: I made this: http://gfycat.com/FrailHatefulDoctorfish It's a simple star map made from this API: http://star-api.herokuapp.com/ It pulls 500 stars from that API and creates an approximate map from their sizes and locations. You can click each star to see some basic data about them. Pretty sure the coloring function I'm using it's quite right, but it's better than the random colors I was using when I started it :) I'll probably modify it so you can 'fly' around through the stars so you can get at all the ones in the top left corner of the map. Most of them are sitting there hidden at the moment. More on reddit.com

r/Python on Reddit: I made a small Python script that uses NASA'S APOD API to set cool backgrounds on a Windows machine
March 11, 2024 -

https://github.com/william7491681/APOD_Wallpaper_Script

What my project does

NASA has a ton of accessible API's, one of which being the APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day) API. I made a script to get the last 9 pictures of the day and set them as my Windows 10 background, and then used task scheduler to have the script re-run every day at noon and whenever the computer boots up.

It's fairly hard coded for my setup (specific file paths, 1920x1080 monitor, etc), but it shouldn't be too hard to change if one wanted to.

Target audience

Anyone who likes space backgrounds
