Create a weather API in Python.
External API: openweathermap
Consume external API and create a human readable response for city/country pair using a get request.
Note: Globant test in linux environment.
sudo apt install redis-server
Configurations used from file data/redis.conf, no more steps need.
use the shells/create_environ.sh script for create the python environment.
bash shells/create_environ.sh
You can see inside the script for the step by step commands.
Use the shells/run_app.sh script for setting the environment variables, start redis server and play the application. redis-server configuration file is data/redis.conf. the cached data will be stored at data/cache.rdb. Cached data will be deleted after CACHE_TIME_SECONDS (environment variable) seconds. All environment variables are exported using shell scripts, you can take a look by opening the .sh file at shells/*.sh
bash shells/run_app.sh
Use a normal web browser to check the application:
app url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/weather
arguments:
- city: city as an aphabetical string only
- country: Country as an alphabetical string in format iso2 only.
example:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/weather?city=guayaquil&country=ec
For make all the tests first initiate the app in one terminal and the test in other terminal:
# terminal 1
bash shells/run_app.sh
# terminal 2
bash shells/test.sh
