- "html_template": "<h1 id=\"astronomyPicture\">APOD</h1><p>One of the most popular websites at NASA is the <a href=\"http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html\">Astronomy Picture of the Day</a>. In fact, this website is one of the <a href=\"https://analytics.usa.gov\">most popular websites</a> across all federal agencies. It has the popular appeal of a Justin Bieber video. This endpoint structures the APOD imagery and associated metadata so that it can be repurposed for other applications. In addition, if the <code class=\"prettyprint\">concept_tags</code> parameter is set to <code class=\"prettyprint\">True</code>, then keywords derived from the image explanation are returned. These keywords could be used as auto-generated hashtags for twitter or instagram feeds; but generally help with discoverability of relevant imagery.</p><p>The full documentation for this API can be found in the <a href=\"https://github.com/nasa/apod-api\">APOD API Github repository</a>.</p><p><strong>Example image:</strong></p><p><img src=\"assets/img/general/apod.jpg\"/></p><h3 id=\"http-request\">HTTP Request</h3><p><code class=\"prettyprint\"> GET https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod </code></p><p><b>concept_tags are now disabled in this service.
