Custom API written in Python using FastAPI

API

This is a custom API, written in Python using FastAPI, to help me accomplish tasks the can be improved through a RESTful API

Setup

Simplest setup is to start from compose.yml and template.env, which should be renamed to .env

Environment Vairables

• API_KEY - Any long, random string. Keep this secret as this is the only form of authentication for the API. All routes require it, except /health-check/
• DATABASE_URL - The URL to connect to postgres DB. Must start with postgresql+psycopg://. Should be in the format specifiec in template.env
• TZ - Timezone of the container
• PGTZ - Timezone the Postgres container should use

How to Access

Using the compose.yml file, you can access the API at http://<IP>:5000/health-check. If everything is setup correctly, you should see {"status":"ok"}
