AcademicalService

This microservice scrapes the academical calendar of the University of Applied Sciences Leipzig and provisions it through a REST-JSON API.

The data is fetched, cleaned and enhanced every 24 houres to ensure latest updates.

Using this Service

Once your Server is running all you need to do is open your browser pointing to the host/port you just published and look at the raw JSON-data. The default Port is 9000, so you got to call:

http://localhost:9000/academical/{ws|ss}

in a Webbrowser.

To play with the REST API, point your browser at http://localhost:9000/documentation.

Compilation/Running the Server

Install NodeJS.

To start the server (for the first time), execute the following commands:

# May take some time
npm install
npm start

Please note that this application was designed to be deployed with docker and instrumented (Metrics, ...) by NewRelic. Inside the projects root, you'll find a Dockerfile that describes this setup.

docker build -t academical ./
docker run -it --rm -p 9000:9000 academical:latest
