COVID-19 Dashboard API

A REST API client for the COVID-19 Dasoboard

Getting Started

Create your .env file

Run the following command to generate a secret key first:

openssl rand -hex 32

Then add the followings to your .env file:

SECRET_KEY=<SECRET_KEY>
ALGORITHM="HS256"
ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_DAYS=<TOKEN_LIFETIME_IN_DAYS>

Setup virtual environment if you haven't done so

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install the dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup your database

The app relies on Firestore on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Create a project on GCP and initialise your Firestore database in native mode. Make sure you also initialise gcloud cli with gcloud init.

Obtain a hashed password with the following python code:

from passlib.context import CryptContext
pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=["bcrypt"], deprecated="auto")
password="your_password"
print(pwd_context.hash(password))

Finally on Firestore, create a users collection and add a document with the followng fields:

{
    "username": "username",
    "hashed_password": "hashed_password",
    "disabled": false
}

Run the app

uvicorn app.main:app --reload
