ISSTracker is an intermediate program written in Python that notifies you with an email when the ISS satellite is overhead so you can watch it ride the clouds in the sky at night
Before running this program ensure that:
Step 1 - You create a random email to test the program
Step 2 - In the "manage account" settings of the email, go to "Security" and actived the option "Allow insecure access from apps"
[?] The purpose of step 2 is to allow the smtp library to access the newly created account at the time the email is sent
Step 3 - The code is designed to tun indefinitely after every 60 seconds, so all you have to do is run to run the program once your computer is own, enable gmail notifications and within 24 hours, you'll see the satellite travelling a couple of times over your head in the sky.
Step 4 - Follow the comments in the code for appropriate guidance,
- Understanding API endpoints and interracting with external systems
- Hands-on the smtp library
- Using the .split() method to refactor time
