data-gov-sg-graphql-go

A GraphQL endpoint for https://data.gov.sg real-time APIs (Go/Golang)

Live demo available here: http://datagovsggraphqlgo-sogko.rhcloud.com/

(The deployed GraphQL endpoint on OpenShift has a some latency due to the datacenter being in US-East region and the Data.gov.sg API being in Singapore.)

Implemented APIs

Original APIs reference available here: https://developers.data.gov.sg/datagovsg-apis/apis

Environment

• https://api.data.gov.sg/v1/environment/2-hour-weather-forecast
• https://api.data.gov.sg/v1/environment/24-hour-weather-forecast
• https://api.data.gov.sg/v1/environment/4-day-weather-forecast
• https://api.data.gov.sg/v1/environment/pm25
• https://api.data.gov.sg/v1/environment/psi
• https://api.data.gov.sg/v1/environment/uv-index

Transport

• https://api.data.gov.sg/v1/transport/taxi-availability
• https://api.data.gov.sg/v1/transport/traffic-images

Motivation

• Something to demonstrate how graphql-go resolve fields concurrently.
• One approach to use GraphQL for existing REST(-ish?) APIs
• Just because.

Notes

• graphql-go based on an experimental branch that resolves fields concurrently. (The OpenShift deployment uses vendoring to support it)
• Written a quick HTTP client for data.gov.sg API that coalesces identical API requests into one single request. Yay go-routines and go-channels.
• Implemented GeoJSON GraphQL schema defined here https://github.com/sogko/graphql-schemas/tree/master/geojson

TODO

• Better documentation for GraphQL definitions
• Better TODO
