The Account service implements a REST service that returns the user profile information such as movie subscription and AD preference.
For simplicity, the implementation hard-coded a few users and their profile information as follows:
| Username | Subscription | AD Preference |
|---|---|---|
| guest | basic | any |
| 20 popular names | universal | sports or family randomly selected at startup |
| others | universal | any |
The following subscription levels are supported:
| Subscription | Description |
|---|---|
| basic | Play three videos out of the video archive. |
| universal | Play all videos in the video archive. |
The supported AD preferences are as follows:
| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| any | No preference. |
| sports | Prefer to see sport related AD. |
| family | Prefer to see family product AD. |
The Account service exposes the following interface on port 8080:
| Path | Description |
|---|---|
| GET /acct?name=<user> | The end point returns the user profile information. |
