Check the online documentation for more.

Hosting the web API

To host the web API, you can use pip to install it:

pip install "krcg-api"

No wsgi server is installed by default, you need to install one. HTTP web servers can then easily be configured to serve WSGI applications, check the documentation of your web server.

The API can be served with uWSGI:

uwsgi --module krcg_api.wsgi:application

or Gunicorn:

gunicorn krcg_api.wsgi:application

Two environment variables are expected: GITHUB_USERNAME and GITHUB_TOKEN, to allow the API to connect to Github as a user in order to post new rulings as issues on the repository (/submit-ruling endpoint).

See the Github help on how to generate a personal token for the account you want KRCG to use.

Development

The development version of KRCG installs uWSGI to serve the API, this is the preferred WSGI server for now.

$ pip install -e ".[dev]"
$ make serve
...
uwsgi socket 0 bound to TCP address 127.0.0.1:8000

You can check the API is running by using your browser on the provided address http://127.0.0.1:8000.

The environment variables GITHUB_USERNAME and GITHUB_TOKEN can be provided by a personal .env file at the root of the krcg folder (ignored by git):

export GITHUB_USERNAME="dedicated_github_username_for_the_api"
export GITHUB_TOKEN="the_matching_github_token"
