FastAPI server for HowToStream

Setup

The project uses pre-committo handle git hooks.

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install

We love unit tests

pip install pytest

Requirements

pip install fastapi

Configuration

In main.py set MODE to test or prod to switch between test and production modes. Default is test.

Initiate database

Sqlite is used for the project. If you are unsing the hts.db file in the repository, you can skip this step. You may also run the below command to setup a local copy.

python hts/scripts/seeddb.py

You may have to run python3 db.py based on your machine setup. This initiates the db, creates the required tables and populate the movies table with IMDb top 250 movies. This will also create a streams table.

Since the IMDb list is dynamic, if you run the command multiple times, it may add more movies to the list and the total rows in the movies table could be >250. This is not an error and can be ignored.

Running the development server

fastapi dev main.py
