This is an example of how to build an API that will utilize the DarkSky api
for historical data, cache results in DB, analyze results, then return
analysis a to the client. This app can be expanded to process additional
data from DarkSky. The cool thing about this api is that it will only call
the Dark Sky api 1 time for a particular day. This will help to keep the number
of calls to Dark Sky down and therefor will lower your usage cost.
Here are the current endpoints:
| URLs | CRUD | Description |
|---|---|---|
| http://localhost:8080/api/health | GET | Validates Health |
| http://localhost:8080/api/weather/airport?start_date={starting time in EpochSeconds}&end_date={ending time in EpochSeconds} | POST | Will return analysis of DarkSky data between the two date ranges. |
I used the following:

- spring-data-mongodb 1.2
I'm building with Gradle:
- gradle 3.2.1
In this project I also tested with difference frameworks
- junit 4.10
