Introduction to NASA
Integrating NASA APIs into your Bubble.io applications can enhance functionality by providing access to a vast array of space and Earth data, including images, weather data, and information on near-Earth objects. This guide will help you get started with setting up and using NASA APIs in your Bubble.io projects.

Key Features

Extensive Data Access: Access a wide range of NASA data, including real-time and historical data.

Imagery and Videos: Retrieve high-quality imagery and video content from NASA's vast media library.

Space Weather and Earth Observations: Get detailed information on space weather and Earth observation data.

Exoplanet and Mars Rover Data: Access data on exoplanets and images captured by Mars rovers.

Tech Transfer and Satellite Data: Integrate NASA's technological developments and satellite data into your applications.



Setting Up NASA API Integration

Step 1: Generate an API Key
Go to the NASA API Portal at api.nasa.gov.
Click on "Generate API Key."

Fill in the required fields: First Name, Last Name, and Email.

Optionally, provide details on how you plan to use the APIs.

Complete the reCAPTCHA verification.
Click "Generate API Key" to receive your key via email.


Step 2: Configure the Plugin in Bubble.io
Install the NASA API Plugin from the Bubble Plugin marketplace.

Navigate to the Plugin settings in your Bubble.io Editor.
Enter your NASA API Key obtained from the NASA API Portal.

Save the configurations.

Step 3: Create API Workflows
Go to the Workflow tab in your Bubble.io Editor.

Create workflows to fetch data from NASA APIs based on user interactions (e.g., button clicks, page loads).

Add actions and select NASA API actions from the list.

Configure actions to retrieve specific data such as images, space weather updates, or Mars rover photos.

Step 4: Design the Data Display Page
Go to the Design tab in your Bubble.io Editor.

Create a new page or use an existing one to display NASA data.

Add elements like text fields, images, and graphs to visualize the fetched data.

Set up workflows to populate these elements with data retrieved from NASA APIs.

Step 5: Test the Integration
Preview your Bubble.io application.

Navigate to the data display page and test the workflows.
Verify that the data retrieval and display are functioning correctly.
