Sample Django Application

Sample app to deploy on AWS Lambda for my talk at PyCon India 2020

It displays data from Nasa Data API

Setup

1. Create a Python 3.6 virtual env

python3 -m venv venv

2. Activate the virtual env

source venv/bin/activate

3. Upgrade pip to latest version and install dependencies

pip install --upgrade pip && pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the application!

cd src/
python manage.py runserver

Generating NASA DATA API Key

By default the app uses a DEMO_KEY to make API calls, it maybe however too restrictive depending on your usage. So you might want to generate your own key.

1. Head over to NASA DATA API
2. Look for 'Generate API Key' section
3. Fill in the form details
4. You should see something like this, copy this key to the .sample-env file
