  • Application Settings
    • Set sk = [your medvid.io application secret key value]
    • Set pk = [your medvid.io application public key value]
    • Set app_id = [your medvid.io application id]
    • Set account_id = [your medvid.io account id]
    • Set apollo_root = [medvid.io root path to the Apollo API endpoint] Learn More
    • Set mercury_root = [medvid.io root path to the Mercury API endpoint] Learn More
    • Set render_API = True to view Sample API Data including Sample cURL commands for all API interactions; render_API = False to obscure this data.

• Run python bin/app.py; local web server should start
• Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to use the application

Notes on Sample API Data

To assist in development the medvid.io Web App Demo generates a collection of data to show you exactly what the backend code is doing; this includes but is not limited to Request Headers, Request Body, Request Method, Request API URL, and Sample cURL commands. This data can be used in any way necessary to assist in development.

Sample cURL Commands

The Sample cURL output is formatted in such a way as to work on Linux / Mac OS systems default cURL functionality. In some scenarios (Windows, etc) the formatting of these cURL commands will need to be customized before they will successfully function. You may need to adjust these commands (especially ', ", and " values) based on your development environment.
