The AVERT Volcano Data API provides HTTP-based access to the archive of volcano imagery collected as part of the AVERT project. In future, it will also provide a basis for serving up standard plots of other time series data collected as part of the project e.g. daily helicorder/drum plots of seismic data.
The API can be installed by cloning this repository and running pip install . in the source directory. It is not currently registered on the Python Package Index (nor is there any plan to do so in the near future).
Once installed, the API is configured with a pair of Dotenv files: .env, which contains PRIVATE information; and .flaskenv, which contains PUBLIC information. Edit the examples accordingly and add copies to the avert_api directory, then reinstall the package. Make sure the contents of the .env file is never commited to a remote repository, or placed somewhere it could be accessed.
The database model is not finalised and will likely see some alteration to fully specify the data and related metadata.
Add the option to run a containerised version of the API, for deployment on cloud platforms.
