API Documentation

A crude REST API was built to allow our website to communicate with our R models. If you would like to run it here are the steps:

Endpoints:

/getKNN

@param temp (your temp value in kelvin)
@param pressure (your pressure value in hPa)
@param humidity (your humidity value in %)
@param windspeed (your windspeed in m/s)
@param winddeg (wind angle in degrees)
@param cloudcov (your cloud coverage in %)
@returns JSON with result equal to KNN prediction

Example call:

http://71.232.77.6:8000/getKNN?temp= 286.5645&pressure=985.0466&humidity=94&windspeed=12.35&winddeg=121&cloudcov=91

Returns:

{
    "result": [
        "Rain"
    ]
}

/getHistory

@param year (year as string)
@param month (month as string)
@param day (day as string)
@returns JSON with 5 day real data and 5 day forecast

Example call:

http://71.232.77.6:8000/getHistory?year=2016&month=05&day=12

Returns:

{
    "dates": [

Running Server:

Requirements

Linux Server (or knowledge to convert following commands to Mac/PC)
Local Copy of R
Plumber R Package
Any packages outlined in server.R

Note:

R runs in your terminal instance so when using SSH I recommend using screen to run R in its own container.

Clone the repo to your machine

git clone https://github.com/tgb20/Final-Project.git

Launch R

sudo -i R

Set working directory to Final-Project Folder

setwd("/path/to/Final-Project")

Load plumber package

library(plumber)

Initiate Server File

r <- plumb("server.R")

Start R Server

r$run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
