# National Park Service Webcam Gallery

This is a simple Go/Gin web app to display a gallery of the various National

Park Service webcams as discovered through the NPS API. This is a recreational

programming project that I thought would be useful and fun to explore.

I've hosted the application publicly using Railway:

## Running locally

An API key can be obtained from the [NPS Developer Resources "Get Started"

page](https://www.nps.gov/subjects/developer/get-started.htm).

## To run

```bash

export NPS_API_KEY=

go run .

```

Then visit  in your browser.

## Diagram

The dataset is very small and currently stored in memory. The NPS API is used on

app startup and then every 30 minutes to dynamically refresh the data.
