Fast API challenge

A code challenge to test and discuss about Fast API. If you randomly found out this repository, this is a challenge that me and my collegues from our study group created so we can practice and discuss Fast API

The challenge

We will build an API where we can register and search places

Register places

An endpoint must be exposed to allow new places to be registered. The places must be persisted to the database.

URL: /places
HTTP_METHOD: POST
SUCCESS_RESPONSE_CODE: 201

A place have the fields name, description and location. The request body must follow the JSON contract below

{
    "name": "string"
    "description": "string"
    "location": {
        "latitude": float,
        "longitude": float,
    }
}

Errors like invalid payloads must be treated and appropiate status code and error messages returned. No response body is required.

Search places

An endpoint must be exposed to allow places to be search. The places can be filtered by name and location

URL: /places
HTTP_METHOD: GET
SUCCESS_RESPONSE_CODE: 200

The response must be paginated with offset-pagination strategy. Feel free to decide the response body schema, the only requirement is that the places must follow the schema below:

{
    "name": "string"
    "description": "string"
    "location": {
        "latitude": float,
        "longitude": float,
    }
}

The search options

Name filtering

PlFor name filtering, a fulltext search style must be implemented. The name query string must be included in the URL like in snippet above

/places?name=value

Location filtering

For location filtering, latitude, longitude and radius query string must be used together. Only places within the radius requested must be returned.

/places?latitude=40.15&longitude=50.15&radius=500

Authentication

An API Key authentication must be implemented for all endpoints. The endpoint must expect the API Key to be present in the request headers in the format below

API-KEY: SomeValue

To simplify things, you can configure a fixed API KEY value as an envinronment variable

Database

Feel free to use postgres or mongo as your datastore

Code Design

Feel free to use the patterns and code architecture you believe is ideal for a production project

Testing

The solution must be covered with automated tests

[optional] Running

everything must be run inside a docker container
