opengamedata-api-utils

Repository for utility server-side script and classes used by OpenGameData APIs.

Contents

Python Package

The utils repository contains a package that can be installed from pip, and places its classes under the ogd.apis namespace. The available modules include:

• HelloAPI.py : Class for creating a "Hello, World" API to aid in testing deploys of other APIs.
• schemas : Contains a base class for server config schemas to handle version and debug-level config items
• utils : Contains helper classes for API requests and responses, as well as general-purpose parsing and setup functions.

Data Store Utilities

The store directory contains a script for reindexing a folder of OGD datasets after new datasets have been added. This index is used by the FileAPI to check what datasets are available on the server.

Getting Started

Hello World of Flask

Steps to run:

1. Check out latest opengamedata-server.
2. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to ensure you've got flask.
3. Run flask run.
4. Open localhost:5000 or localhost:5000/hello to see some really basic text output from the Flask server.

If Flask doesn't run, it's possible you'd need to first export FLASK_APP as an environment variable, set to "wsgi" (so in Bash, export FLASK_APP=wsgi). However, the script is named wsgi.py specifically because Flask is supposed to auto-detect it. So if this issue ever did come up, please ping Luke so he can look into it.
