APOD Email Subscription

NASA features a different image of our fantastic universe every day on this website - apod. The pictures are very good and there is usually a very interesting explaination for each picture.

Visiting that page each day for viewing picture and reading explanination may not be possible. Hence, I built this website through which you can enter your email and each day you'll get picture and explaination in your email at 12:00 Noon IST.

Getting Started

  • Clone the repository $ git clone https://github.com/harshit23897/APOD-Email-subscription.git*
  • Install node dependencies $ npm install
  • Go to frontend folder and install react dependencies
  cd frontend/
  npm install
  • Go to NASA Open API website - openapi and sign up for an API key.
  • Go to mlab and make a new database. Copy MongoDB URI from there.
  • Make a new .env file in APOD-Email-Subscription folder
  • Enter the following environment variables in .env file:
MONGO_URI=
NASA_API_KEY=
EMAIL_USERNAME=
EMAIL_PASSWORD=
  • Run this command to start server:
npm run dev
