fastprocesses

A library to create a FastAPI-based OGC API Processes wrapper around existing projects. This library simplifies the process of defining and registering processes, making it easy to build and deploy OGC API Processes.

AI was used to create this code.

Version: 0.9.0

Description

fastprocesses is a Python library that provides a simple and efficient way to create OGC API Processes using FastAPI. It allows you to define processes, register them, and expose them through a FastAPI application with minimal effort, following the OGC API Processes 1.0.0 specification.

Features

• OGC API Processes Compliance: Fully implements the OGC API Processes 1.0.0 Core specification
• FastAPI Integration: Leverages FastAPI for building high-performance APIs
• Process Management: Supports both synchronous and asynchronous process execution
• Job Control: Implements job control options (sync-execute, async-execute)
• Output Handling: Supports various output transmission modes (value, reference)
• Result Caching: Built-in Redis-based caching for process results
• Celery Integration: Asynchronous task processing using Celery
• Pydantic Models: Strong type validation for process inputs and outputs
• Logging: Uses loguru for modern logging with rotation support

Usage

1. Define a Process: Create a new process by subclassing BaseProcess and using the @register_process decorator.

from fastprocesses.core.base_process import BaseProcess
from fastprocesses.core.models import (
    ProcessDescription,
    ProcessInput,
    ProcessJobControlOptions,
    ProcessOutput,
    ProcessOutputTransmission,
    Schema,
)
from fastprocesses.processes.process_registry import register_process

@register_process("simple_process")
class SimpleProcess(BaseProcess):
    # Define process description as a class variable
    process_description = ProcessDescription(
        id="simple_process",
        title="Simple Process",
        version="1.0.0",
        description="A simple example process",
        jobControlOptions=[
            ProcessJobControlOptions.SYNC_EXECUTE,
            ProcessJobControlOptions.ASYNC_EXECUTE
        ],
        outputTransmission=[
            ProcessOutputTransmission.VALUE
        ],
        inputs={
            "input_text": ProcessInput(
                title="Input Text",
                description="Text to process",
                schema=Schema(
                    type="string",
                    minLength=1,
                    maxLength=1000
                )
            )
        },
        outputs={
            "output_text": ProcessOutput(
                title="Output Text",
                description="Processed text",
                schema=Schema(
                    type="string"
                )
            )
        },
        keywords=["text", "processing"],
        metadata={
            "created": "2024-02-19",
            "provider": "Example Organization"
        }
    )

    async def execute(self, inputs: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        input_text = inputs["inputs"]["input_text"]
        output_text = input_text.upper()
        return {"output_text": output_text}

2. Create the FastAPI Application:

import uvicorn
from fastprocesses.api.server import OGCProcessesAPI

app = OGCProcessesAPI(
    title="Simple Process API",
    version="1.0.0",
    description="A simple API for running processes"
).get_app()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

3. Start the Services:

Start Redis (required for caching and Celery):

docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis

Start the Celery worker:

celery -A fastprocesses.worker.celery_app worker

Start the FastAPI application:

poetry run python examples/run_example.py

4. Use the API:

Execute a process (async):

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/processes/simple_process/execution" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Prefer: respond-async" \
     -d '{
       "inputs": {
         "input_text": "hello world"
        }
       }'

Execute a process (sync):

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/processes/simple_process/execution" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Prefer: respond-sync" \
     -d '{
       "inputs": {
         "input_text": "hello world"
       }'

API Endpoints

• GET /: Landing page
• GET /conformance: OGC API conformance declaration
• GET /processes: List available processes
• GET /processes/{process_id}: Get process description
• POST /processes/{process_id}/execution: Execute a process
• GET /jobs: List all jobs
• GET /jobs/{job_id}: Get job status
• GET /jobs/{job_id}/results: Get job results

Configuration

The library can be configured using environment variables:

RESULT_CACHE_HOST="redis"
RESULT_CACHE_PORT=6379
RESULT_CACHE_DB=1

CELERY_BROKER_HOST="redis"
CELERY_BROKER_PORT=6379
CELERY_BROKER_DB=0

Notes:

!IMPORTANT!: Cache hash key is based on original unprocessed inputs always. This ensures consistent caching and cache retrieval which does not depend on arbitrary processed data, which can change when the process is updated or changed!
