LTC Data Processing API

This repo implements an API that performs data processing tasks for COVID Tracking Project long-term care spreadsheets.

It contains various functions that receive CSV data from the sheets, process it, and output the processed data.

Development

This project assumes you have Python 3.6. You can use pip install -r requirements.txt to get dependencies, but it's recommended to use Conda (more container friendly later) to create the environment with all dependencies (see environment.yml):

conda env create --file environment.yml

Running the app

To run a local development server

export FLASK_APP=flask_server.py
flask run

This will start a local server at http://127.0.0.1:5000/.

You can now POST data to http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/echo

To spin up a whole stack using docker:

docker build -t cvapi .
docker run -it -p 8000:8000 cvapi

Command-line interface

We're moving toward a single entry point to run all functions for a particular state. Like so:

FLASK_APP=flask_server.py flask process --states CA,MD --outfile=/tmp/ca.csv --overwrite-final-gsheet

Somewhat deprecated examples, soon to be fully deprecated:
