# Mars Rovers photo downloader

## Start here

* `pip install -r requirements.txt`

* This will use the official NASA API, so you will need a key from here: https://api.nasa.gov/

* You will need to create an api.py file with

```python

KEY = 'Your nasa provided api key goes here'

```

## Ok, so how do I use this?

`python photos.py` should be enough to get you today's perseverance photos if there are any.

You can (and should!) also try some arguments:

* Download photos from an Earth Date: `--date 2021-02-28`

* Download photos from Mars Sol: `--sol 1` for Sol 1, `--sol 1-10` for Sol 1 through 10

* Download only photos from a specific camera on the rover. Use `--camera MCZ_LEFT`. Check https://api.nasa.gov/ for an extensive list of possible strings, or check the section below.

* Output to another place than photos/: `--output path/to/output/dir`

* Defaults to Perseverance but you can target other rovers: `--rover curiosity`

* More! Use `--help` for all options.
