A private microservice to support The Microsetta Initiative
Create a new conda environment containing flask and other necessary packages:
conda create -n microsetta-private-api flask psycopg2 natsort pycryptodome
Once the conda environment is created, activate it:
conda activate microsetta-private-api
Install connexion version 2.0 (which supports the OpenAPI Specification 3.0) as well as the Swagger UI:
pip install connexion[swagger-ui]
Also install the JSON Web Tokens library with cryptography support:
pip install pyjwt[crypto]
Then install the microsetta-private-api in editable mode:
pip install -e .
In the activated conda environment, start the microservice using flask's built-in server by running, e.g.,
python ./microsetta_private_api/server.py
which will start the server on http://localhost:8082 . Note that this usage is suitable for development ONLY--real use of the service would require a production-level server.
The Swagger UI should now be available at http://localhost:8082/api/ui .
Currently the /account get interface (only) requires oath2 authentication, but this is currently mocked to return
the same token info no matter what bearer token value is passed in. This dummy-authenticated method can be tested from
the command line using the following command to examine an account record added by repo_test_scratch.py
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer dummy' http://localhost:8082/api/accounts/aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeffffffff
