Offer a webservice for radar metadata & settings #8

Closed peterdesmet closed 8 years ago

peterdesmet commented 8 years ago

Do we really need to build this? And if so, how do we keep it simple?

We only need this for 1) visualizations and 2) a web app to browse the data availability (#12). If we use a static file (see #4), we could just copy the file in those applications to have the necessary data. The usefulness of a webservice largely depends on the nature of the data: if static, it is less useful. If dynamic (e.g. because we include settings, see #7) it becomes more useful.

Nice to have, but currently not the core bottleneck. I see a relational database that can be queried currently as the minimum requirement. Also, we can only proceed with open access bird products with permission from OPERA, which is pending

Will indeed be stored in DB and can thus be queried. We'll only provide derived products if there are apps/viz who need those.
