Mocking exercise

Mocking a web service

There's a web service that gives you the times of when the ISS is visible from your location

• Using this web service, write a function named iss_passes in times.py that generates a similar output than time_range.

  • The API looks like: http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass.json?lat=29.55&lon=95.1&n=5 (Documentation)
  • To convert unix time stamps you can use datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp function.

• Write a test for the iss_passes function that mocks the request call and the response to avoid querying the website all the time we run the tests.

• Commit, push and link to this issue.

A sample solution can be found here.

FYI @alessandrofelder http://open-notify.org/Open-Notify-API/ISS-Pass-Times/ > "This api has been removed." Therefore, print(iss_passes(51.5074, -0.1278)) # ISS passes over London results in

python times.py

Maybe exercise require to be refactored with http://open-notify.org/Open-Notify-API/ISS-Location-Now/
