This repo is the first implementation of the Computable API, CAPI, the core set of APIs which govern access to a datatrust in the Computable protocol. A datatrust is any piece of software which implements CAPI.
This repo hosts an implementation of CAPI in Python. The setup is
fairly straightforward. There's a Flask server which connects to AWS.
The actual data is stored in Dynamo DB. (The choice of storage will be
abstracted further in future versions.) This codebase also
communicates extensively with a deployed set of Computable smart
contracts through web3.py and computable.py.
First set up a virtual environment with Python 3.6. (Python 3.7
and web3.py have some issues with each other). See
here
for a guide.
You can install the core requirements with pip (make sure this is
the pip in your virtual environment though)
pip install -r requirements.txt
You'll also need to run one additional command:
pip install web3[tester]
(The awkward format of this command doesn't mesh well with the automatic pip installation, so needs to be done manually). You should now be set up!
The tests are specified in the Makefile. To run tests, simply do
make test
