To install the Library with its http speedups, simply run the same commands but with the following alterations:

python3 -m pip install -U "nasa.py[speedups]"

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U nasa.py[speedups]

You can install the development version, you can do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/quiktea/nasa.py
$ cd nasa.py
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[speedups]

Examples

All of the library's syntax is heavily inspired by the NASA Open API names. For example, to fetch the apod api, you can simply run the await .apod method.

Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD)

from nasa import Client
client = Client("api_key") #providing an invalid api key or no api key will raise an Invalid API_KEY Error
apod_result = await client.apod()
video = apod_result.media.video
print(video)
print(video.url)

This will return:
