CSC/ECE 517 Spring 2024 - G2402 Implement REST client, REST API, and Graphql API endpoint for repositories

GitHub Miner

This is a convenient tool to query a user's GitHub metrics. The project aims to develop API endpoints for GitHub GraphQL queries and GitHub REST queries using Python Flask. It involves integrating existing code with Flask to expose GraphQL queries as API endpoints, developing a REST client, and creating REST endpoints for querying the same data sets. The project also includes thorough testing and documentation of the endpoints.

Installation

We recommend using virtual environment. Steps to setup virtual environment:

cd path/to/your/project/directory
python -m venv venv

On macOS and Linux:

source venv/bin/activate

On Windows (Command Prompt):

.\venv\Scripts\activate

On Windows (PowerShell):

.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Next, install all the necessary libraries:

pip -r requirements.txt

Next, set the PYTHONPATH to

On Windows

set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;path/to/your/project
set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;path/to/your/project/backend

On Unix or MacOS

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/your/project
export PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;path/to/your/project/backend

You can run the app from your terminal by executing the following command:

python backend\run.py
