Photo Ticket API

Description

Photo Ticket API is a system for managing tickets and optimized image uploads in Django. This project uses Poetry for dependency and environment management.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Python 3.10 and Poetry installed on your system to manage the project's dependencies.

Initial Setup

CELERY_BROKER_URL=<value>
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND=<value>

Install Dependencies

Use Poetry to install all required dependencies:

poetry install

Running the Project

Activate the virtual environment managed by Poetry:

poetry shell

Run the Django migrations to set up your database schema:

python manage.py migrate

Start the Django development server:

python manage.py runserver

Image Upload Optimization

The project optimizes image uploads by reducing their size using the following settings in the upload process:

upload_result = upload(
    image_file, fetch_format="auto", quality="auto", resource_type="image"
)

These settings automatically adjust the format and quality of the images to optimize their size before uploading to Cloudinary.
