A translator standardizes the responses from a data source to the Platform. The translator also adds security measures, such as signature verification and signing the response.
This is built with Python Bottle
This translator returns dummy data, no real connection to an external API is made.
In order to determine the value to return when making a request the algorithm combines
two values: timestamp and the id from the params.
This dummy data return one value for each 30 minutes, simulating a real sensor.
It takes one digit from the timestamp and multiplies it by the defined INCREMENT_VALUE and adds it to the base value. (for example 17 degrees)
It also computes the ASCII value of the id and takes the last digit and multiplies it with the increment value.
In this way the result is always the same for the same date range and id. Some collisions will be present for the same date range and different ids.
You need the following installed on your computer:
- Python 3.6
- poetry==1.0.3 (
pip install poetry==1.0.3) - Yarn - For documentation
The API uses RAML
to document the API. To generate the documentation you need to install Yarn,
and run poetry run invoke docs.
This will generate an index.html-file under docs/. Open the file in your
browser to check that the documentation is in order.
