Space Slash Command with NASA's APOD API | Discord.py
In this video, we make a space slash command in Discord.py to get random images related to space and astronomy with NASA's APOD API (the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Astronomy Picture of the Day Application Programming Interface - yes, Americans love acronyms).
Special thanks to Panqueko.py # 0007 for their help with the thumbnail!
