Related repositories

Requirements

  • nodejs v10+
  • redis

Usage

  • git clone [email protected]:Eyevinn/continue-watching-api.git
  • cd continue-watching-api
  • npm install
  • Start Redis locally or insert the needed keys into the .env file
  • npm start to run the server

Endpoints

  • POST /position/:userId/:assetId/:position where position is in seconds
  • GET /position/:userId/:assetId to get position on a given asset
  • GET /position/:userId to get all positions for a specific user, newest first.

Environment variables

  • NODE_ENV if set to development there will be some logging made into the console
  • REDIS_URL if not local
  • REDIS_PORT if not default (6379)
  • REDIS_USERNAME
  • REDIS_PASSWORD

Docker

A docker-compose config file is provided that takes care of building the image and running this container together with a Redis db container.

Start the service:

  • docker-compose up

Stop the service:

  • docker-compose down

The Redis container is using /tmp as persistant storage but this can be changed by modifying the docker-compose.yml file. Change:

    volumes:
      - /tmp:/bitnami/redis/data

to where you want the persistant storage to be located.
