BOOKS API

How to run this project:

• Clone the repository
• Create a MongoDB Atlas deployment or run MongoDB locally
• Give the username and password that has read/write access to your db by passing USER_SECRET and PASS_SECRET in either docker environments or in your .env.local file.
• This project is using two external APIs: Book Finder and Books-API subscribe to both of them via signing up to RAPID API.
• Pass in the RapidAPI-Key and RapidAPI-Host for both of them as BOOKS_API_KEY, BOOKS_API_HOST, BOOK_FINDER_KEY AND BOOK_FINDER_HOST.
• Pass in a SECRET_KEY environment variable to be used for JWT tokens on authentication. (SECRET_KEY could be anything but I'd recommend a 32 bit key. It can be obtained with this command: openssl rand -base64 32.)

Next, run the commands below.

python3.10 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
export ENV=dev
python3 main.py

Note: python 3.10 is recommended (author's version) but shouldn't be essential. Therefore python3.10 -m venv venv could be replaced with python3 -m venv venv.

At this point the project should be running.
Hot reloading is because we exported ENV as dev so your changes should take place in real time.
To check out the endpoints and try them: Go to http://localhost:8080/docs.

Note: To use most of the endpoints you need to have an authenticated user. One should be creatable with /signup endpoint.

Have fun!
