Safecast Ingest API

This is a new ingest API for safecast data.

Basic goals are:

• support arbitrary fields with measurement data
• allow for API versioning

Requirements

• Ruby, see Gemfile for version
• Postgres with postgis running locally
• A safecast superuser on that local postgres server

See Dev: Setup on OS X or one of the related "Dev:" pages for specific info.

Setting up for dev work

Once you have the requirements installed try running this:

bundle install
rake db:create
rake db:structure:load
rake

If all goes well you should see a green line like 6 examples, 0 failures indicating the tests have passed.

You can then run this to start the server:

rerun rackup

And run this to post some example data into your local server via curl:

./script/example_data.rb

To get back to this clean state with only this example data loaded, and all manual database changes removed, you can run:

./script/reset-db.bash

And run this to get a ruby console:

bundle exec irb -r./application

Or this to run a db console:

psql -U safecast ingest-solarcast_development
