Image Uploader

This function app does three things:

• Grabs today's "image of the day" from NASA APOD API using an Azure Functions timer trigger
• Copies image to Azure Blob Storage
• Adds metadata (including the new Azure Storage URI to Cosmos DB)

This is all in support of my "Blast Off with Blazor" site.

Run locally

To run locally, you'll need:

• An Azure Storage account, and a blob container
• A Cosmos DB account, database, and container (I use the serverless option)
• A NASA API key

Here's how my local.settings.json looks:

{
  "Values": {
    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "",
    "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "dotnet",
    "ApiKey": "<my-api-key>",
    "CosmosEndpoint": "https://<my-cosmos-endpoint>.documents.azure.com:443/",
    "CosmosKey": "<my-cosmos-access-key>",
    "CosmosDatabase": "<my-cosmos-db-name>",
    "CosmosContainer": "<my-db-container-name>",
    "StorageAccount": "<my-storage-account-name>",
    "StorageKey": "<my-storage-key>",
    "BlobContainerUrl": "<my-blob-container-url>"
  }
}

This was hacked together and will be improved over time. PRs are always welcome.
