#Fibonacci Python Microservice

The Project Assignment

1. The project should provide a web service.
   1. The web service accepts a number, n, as input and returns the first n Fibonacci numbers, starting from 0. I.e. given n = 5, appropriate output would represent the sequence "0 1 1 2 3".
   2. Given a negative number, it will respond with an appropriate error.
2. Include whatever instructions are necessary to build and deploy/run the project, where "deploy/run" means the web service is accepting requests and responding to them as appropriate.
3. Include some tests
4. Implement as if it were to be supported for 5 year

Implementation Information

1. The project provides a Fibonacci module with a Flask RESTful WebService endpoint.
   1. The web service accepts and HTTP GET request with 2 optional URL Query Parameters.
      1. Parameter start is the start index of the returned Fibonacci sequence, defaults to 0.
      2. Parameter length is the length of the returned Fibonacci sequence, default to 10.
   2. If the HTTP Method is not GET the service will respond with a JSON error
   3. If either parameter is anegative number, the service will respond with a JSON error

Installing and Running

Python's setuptools are used to simplify the building and installation of the Fibonacci WebService.

Install Requirements

python setup.py develop

Starting MicroService

Starting the service

python endpoints/fibonacci_service_flask.py

Starting the service in Debug mode

python endpoints/fibonacci_service_flask.py -d

Testing the MicroService

Standard Python unit test framework is used to test the service. To execute the test cases use the command

python -m unittest tests
