API
The app uses NASA’s Astronomical Picture of the Day API for the images, videos and data. This app uses the special DEMO_KEY which can be used for initially exploring APIs prior to signing up, but it has much lower rate limits, so you’re encouraged to signup for your own API key if you plan to use the API.
