Python Program: ISS Notification

100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Boot Camp – Day 33 Project.

Continuing to work with APIs.

This is a program that will use an API from Open Notify to locate where the International Space Station (ISS) is. Then an API from sunrise-sunset.org to check sunrise and sunset times.

Once we have that data and extract geo coordinates, I compare those coordinates to my current location coordinates to determine if the ISS is overhead. If it is overhead and it is also dark outside, it will send me an email saying to ‘Look up!’. If not, it will display a message stating ‘ISS is not nearby.’

  1. Choose ‘Open in Replit’
  2. Select ‘Run’ to use the program
