# Create Mindmaps from API Output
> **Note**: this project was originally published by John Capobianco
> at . I took the
> idea and refactored it massively. In fact, the code is now almost
> 100% different from the original version which made me put it into
> a new repository of myself.
## Introduction
Using various APIs, this program collects JSON data and then uses Jinja2
templates to create a single markdown file. Using the markmap VS Code extension,
this markdown file then renders as a mind map!
## NASA API Key
Please visit the [NASA API website](https://api.nasa.gov/) and register for an
API key. Once you have your key you need to either pass it to the program with
the `--token` command line parameter or you need to export it as `TOKEN` in your
environment.
The "fast" APIs (if no specific parameters are provided to the command) will
work without a valid API token.
It's also possible to use the string `DEMO_KEY` as the API key which does have
some very limited daily use restrictions but can be used right away without
registration.
## Display the created mind map
Use the Markmap extension for VSCode to render markdown files as a mind map.
Search for "markmap"... Source is
[here](https://github.com/markmap/markmap-vscode).
## APIs
The "Token" column identifies APIs which require a NASA API token.
