Crossfade-API

A basic REST API to allow xfade.audio to create unique URL hashes for playlists.

Listens for POST requests to your-api-url.com/collections/new. Saves whatever JSON is posted in the body to a postgres database and returns a hashID (i.e. lkj902ad).

A GET request to your-api-url.com/collections/lkj902ad will return the JSON that was originally POSTed.

Adapted from this great Flask tutorial.

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

export APP_SETTINGS="config.DevelopmentConfig"

Create config.py:

import os
basedir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

class Config(object):
    DEBUG = False
    TESTING = False
    CSRF_ENABLED = True
    SECRET_KEY = 'your-secret-key-here'


class ProductionConfig(Config):
    DEBUG = False
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql:///crossfade'


class DevelopmentConfig(Config):
    DEVELOPMENT = True
    DEBUG = True
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql:///crossfade'

Run it

python manage.py runserver

POST some JSON:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"collection":{"one":["vid1","vid2","vid3"],"two":["vid4","vid5","vid6"]}}' http://localhost:5000/collection/new

GET JSON using a hashid:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET http://localhost:5000/collection/pnel5aKB
