Simple CGI Redirect for TemaTres API

This repository has a simple Python CGI script to get a search term code and redirect it to the correspondent page in TemaTres. I'm running this under a Dreamhost machice and I've followed this tutorial to enable it. Because of that, I'm using Python 2.7 instead of Python 3.

To run this script on your own server you must:

  1. On the server side, install requests Python lib with the command pip install requests
  2. Copy the tematres_api.py to your server's cgi directory. You can do as following:
scp tematres_api.py user@myserver.com:/home/user/mysite.com/public/cgi-bin/tematres_api.py

After doing that, you proably should be able to access the script by accessing http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/tematres_api.py?term_code=dat.var, for example.
