# neo-detection

Detecting Near-Earth Objects using NASA's API

## Installation

```sh

# Go into project directory

cd neo-detection

# Create virtual environment

python3 -m venv env

source env/bin/activate

# Install all required packages (Django, Django REST Framework, dotenv, etc.) into virtual env

pip install -r requirements.txt

# Configure environment variables (instructions below)

# Sync database and apply migrations

python manage.py migrate

# Create an admin superuser with your desired username, email and password

python manage.py createsuperuser --username admin --email [email protected]

# Run the server (default: 127.0.0.1:8000)

python manage.py runserver

```

## Environment Variables

Create a new `.env` file in root directory and use `.env.example` as a reference to provide the following environment variables:

```sh

DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=

NASA_API_KEY=

```

To generate a new Django secret key, run this in a Python virtual environment after dependencies have been installed.

```sh

python -c 'from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())'

```
