API : Status call / URL check

[merforga]

Current API allows for upload. Nice to have will be to allow a call to the server to see if the file has been processed successfully, return the URL parameter.

I believe filename might be the easiest way to do this (though if someone else uploads a different file it won't detect which IMO isn't too big of an issue)

API ENDPOINT status.json or something similar filename = [filename]

RESPONSE The server will check if filename exists in encounters table.

• SUCCESS: Return url = [URLENDING] (i.e. the unique words, not the entire URL)
• FAIL: Return "Encounter not found"

An alternative would be to have the upload service provide back some sort of id that would be used to track the upload status.
