• Downloads the image from the provided URL.
• Embeds the fetched image onto a template image.
• Adds text overlay containing title, date, and a generated qrcode of the news.
• Saves the processed image as a JPEG file.

This script fetches data from NASA's API, downloads the image, pastes it onto a template image, adds relevant text, the date passed as argument and a generated QR code, and saves the final image.

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• Pillow library (for image processing)
• Requests library (for making HTTP requests)
• Python-dotenv library (for loading environment variables)
• Python-qrcode library (for qrcode generation) (check requirement.txt)

Setup

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Configure environment variables:
   • API_KEY: NASA API key
   • DATE: Date for fetching NASA image of the day
   • API_URL: NASA API endpoint URL

Usage

1. Execute paste-image-to-template.py to process and embed NASA images onto a template.
