Write code for HTTP API #2

Closed dylan-thinnes closed 7 years ago

A REST API is needed so that once can make requests to the url and recieve a parsed set of factors in return.

This is also important for integration with AWS lambda.

It would be better to split two core functions of the API into two separate endpoints - there should be factorization and simple pi(x) requests as separate services, and therefore separate endpoints, in the API. This is because while the user's list of the first N primes can factor any number smaller than the (N+1)th prime squared, it can only provide pi(x) for any number it actually has in the list. As such, sometimes the user will have fully factorized a number and will only need pi(x) as a server-provided (C++ provided) service.

The AWS Gateway API endpoint for factorization on aws lambda has been created, currently at n3dl2qh6kj.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod/factorize/?number=<number here> CORS headers have been set which require a specific API key, however. Please look in client/scripts/main.js to see the API key.

I am looking into AWS Route 53 for potentially making the endpoint prettier.

Closing this discussion, continued discussion of a separate non-factorization-related API should be in a different issue, if it is an issue at all.
