In order to use the API you need the following:

• A MongoDB
• A folder called .secrets in the root of this repo. This folder and its contents will be gitignored.
  • .secrets must contain a file called credentials.env:

    url = your_url
    username = your_username
    password = your_password

    These credentials are for your MongoDB which also needs to be set up.

Create and activate a virtual environment and then run pip install -r requirements.txt.

The backend uses the FastAPI Python library, with which can be start development server:

fastapi dev backend/api.py

Note: You need to be in the root of the repo for this to work.

A development server will start at http://127.0.0.1:8000, and it's corresponding Swagger UI can be accessed at http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs
