# Rovie
Rovie is a Discord bot developed to enhance user engagement in the Space Station Discord server by leveraging NASA's API for space-related information.
## Features
- **NASA API Integration**: Connects to NASA's API to fetch and display real-time imagery from mars rovers Curiosity, Perseverance, Opportunity, and Spirit.
## Installation
To set up Rovie on your local machine, follow these steps:
1. **Clone the Repository**:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/alexdovzhanyn/rovie.git
```
2. **Navigate to the Project Directory**:
```sh
cd rovie
```
3. **Install the Dependencies**:
```sh
npm install
```
## Configuration
Before running the bot, you need to set up the environment configuration file:
1. **CSet Up the Env Configuration**:
In the root directory of the project, rename the file named `_env.json` to `env.json`. Update the file with:
```json
{
"DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your_discord_bot_token",
"DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID": "your_discord_channel_id",
"NASA_API_KEY": "your_nasa_api_key"
}
```
- By default, the rover photo fetching will run once every 3 hours. If you'd like to fetch more often than that,
change `ROVER_PHOTO_FREQUENCY_MS` to something else (in milliseconds).
## Usage
To start the bot, execute the following command in your terminal:
```sh
npm start
```
