Drumpler 1.0.4

Framework for rapidly developing a restful API that requires post processing

Drumpler

Drumpler is a general-purpose application designed to facilitate efficient workflow automation through RESTful API interactions and job processing. Built on Flask and SQLAlchemy, this application serves as a robust backend for capturing, storing, and processing HTTP requests in a scalable manner. The application is split into two main components: drumpler.py for handling RESTful API requests and mammoth.py for querying the API and processing jobs asynchronously.

High Level Overview

Features

• RESTful API Endpoints: Secure and scalable endpoints for handling HTTP requests, including POST, GET, PUT, and DELETE operations.
• Database Integration: Utilizes SQLAlchemy for ORM-based interactions with Postgres.
• Job Processing: Facilitates the asynchronous processing of tasks with support for multi-threading and multi-processing, ensuring efficient workflow automation.
• Event Logging: Detailed event logging for each HTTP request, job processing and related events, allowing for easy tracking and management of tasks.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.6 or later
• PostgreSQL

Installation

Install Drumpler via pip: pip install Drumpler

Configuration

Create a .env file in the root directory of the application with the following contents:

DATABASE_URI=your_database_uri_here 
AUTHORIZATION_KEY=your_authorization_key_here 
Drumpler_HOST=0.0.0.0 
Drumpler_PORT=5000 
Drumpler_DEBUG=True

Replace your_database_uri_here and your_authorization_key_here with your actual database URI and desired authorization key.

Using the Application

To start the Drumpler API server:

import drumpler

# Now, you can create an instance of the Drumpler class
app = drumpler.Drumpler(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000, debug=True)

# And call the run method on this instance
app.run()

API Endpoints (Drumpler)

The application exposes several endpoints for interacting with the system:

• POST /request: Submit a new request for processing.
• GET /request/<int:request_id>: Retrieve a specific request by its ID.
• GET /request/next-unhandled: Fetch the next unhandled request.
• PUT /request/<int:request_id>: Update the status of a request.
• DELETE /request/<int:request_id>: Delete a specific request.
