PyCon UK 2025

Code a program that notifies you when the International Space Station is up above!
2025-09-20 , Space 4

Using the power of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in Python, we'll explain how you can create a program to send you an email when the International Space Station is above you.


You don't need to have any prior knowledge about what APIs are or how they work; we'll explain all of this to you in the session and answer any questions you may have. It would be helpful if attendees have some prior experience coding in Python - including string methods and lists, which you can learn about in levels 4 and 5 of the Mission Encodeable course respectively: https://missionencodeable.com/get-started.


What level of experience do you expect from your audience for this session?:
