Earthquake

Prerequisites

Follow the installation guide to make sure you can run a Phoenix application.

Running the application

To start the server:

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.setup
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server or inside IEx with iex -S mix phx.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Earthquakes API

Visit localhost:4000/api/earthquakes for the API that searches for earthquakes by the following filters passed in as query parameters:

• starts_at (int): this will be in epoch time
• ends_at (int): this will be in epoch time
• min_mag (float): minimum magnitude
• max_mag (float): maximum magnitude
• radius (int): searches for earthquakes within an N mile radius of (lat, lng)
• lat (float): latitude
• lng (float): longitude

Updating the earthquakes database

Earthquake.UpdateEarthquakes is a job that runs every minute, checking the USGS API for earthquakes in the last hour and inserting new ones into the database.

Tests

Run the test suite with mix test
