I didn't include this in the code snippets, but things are saved via Postgrest along the way - most importantly Colors and Clusters which are used to perform searches. Feel free to have a look at the full source to see these.
Processing a single APOD is one thing, but the end goal is to process all of them. The cleanest way to group batches of days was by month. As the apod-api supports start_date and end_date parameters to support this, I just used the first and last days of the month for these parameters.
One of my goals for this project was to use cloud-first (and free) resources whenever possible to save headaches later on with deployments & environments. For the database above I created a Postgres instance using supabase's free tier.
To do more with this data however, Rust requires that it be properly typed. serde streamlines this with built-in JSON serialization; it only requires a static type and can handle the rest. Here's the type I added to correspond to the API response:
