NIS: https://nis.up.railway.app/

NIS, or NASA Image Search, is a web app that does three main things: it first displays a homepage that calls the Astronomy Picture of the Day API, then allows you to search for pictures using the NASA Image Library Search API, and finally you are able to save your favorite pictures to view in a seperate page.

Here is the final product.

Here is the figma design I made and started with.

To run locally:

git clone https://github.com/brendencallahan/nis

Frontend

cd client
npm i
npm run start

Backend

To start the backend you will first need to edit line 45 of /server/index.js. In the url, instead of providing an environment variable, use the API key "DEMO_KEY".

The url should look like this

https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod?api_key=DEMO_KEY

Save the file. Then:

cd server
npm i
npm run dev

Once you have both running, visit localhost:3000
