Mocking a web service for the International Space Station

[dpshelio]

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: https://api.n2yo.com/rest/v1/satellite/visualpasses/25544/56/0/0/5/50&apiKey={your API key} (Documentation)
  • To convert unix time stamps you can use datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp function.
  • You can register to obtain an API key or use the one we provide on Moodle.

• 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.

Once you have a solution, commit it including Answers UCL-COMP0233-24-25/RSE-Classwork#18 in the message and push it to your fork on GitHub.
