A wrapper for the Astronomy Picture of the Day API provided by NASA.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day - API Wrapper

This package is used by AstroSplash to retrieve images from the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day API., _(*1)

Check the AstroSplash repository to see this API wrapper in use!, _(*2)

Check the NASA API website to see how to use their API directly., _(*3)

Description

On its own, the NASA API does not provide thumbnails or return more than one result per request., _(*4)

This wrapper provides a thin layer above the NASA API which includes these features. It does this by maintaining a store of thumbnails and JSON files in a public web root., _(*5)

The methods that update, query and clear the store are documented with annotations in the API.php and APIInterface.php files in the src directory., _(*6)
