An api used to collect and handle information from smart parking sensors. Designed using Django and Django Rest Framework. This was designed as part of a smart parking system in part for the completion of my computer science final year project. It serves to provide information for both the Admin Interface and the Mobile Application.
- CRUD handling for all models ie ParkingLot, ParkingSession, User, Sensor & Slot
- Information processing and aggregation used by the Admin Interface
- Server side report generation and formatting using ReportLab
- Response pagination
- Token Authentication
- Access restriction using django-cors-headers
- Clone the repository
git clone <url>
- Navigate into the created directory
cd smartParkingAPI - Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv <env> && .\<env>\Scripts\Activate
- Install the necessary requirements
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run the server
python manage.py runserver
You can now access the server on localhost:8000
Caution
Make sure to make the necessary adjustments to the django-cors-headers settings before access
