Resources REST API

Open SidhaantThakker opened this issue 4 years ago • 14 comments

I had an idea, we could take the entire database here and make an API that could serve the data based on certain requests. It can be used to get the data in a much more streamlined manner, as well as serve as a base for later creating a web app. I can personally help with this as I work with the MERN stack, I could make the API using Node.js which could be easily integrated into future web apps.

There are currently a internal data science project leaded by @eshellman to abord this. What do you think Eric?

@E-wave112 Sure! @davorpa If you like the idea we could have a discussion about it :)

Okay @SidhaantThakker so how do we start?

There is a team of 6 student Sees from Stevens Institute of Technology working on something like this. See https://github.com/EbookFoundation/capstone-projects/blob/master/fpb.md

I'll point them at this issue. They may benefit from expertise of others!

Hey, I'm one of the Stevens students and I'd love to work on this. I have experience with MERN stack as well and my current project is blocked until I can query a database. Where can I start?

LeoOuyang24 avatar Oct 16 '21 21:10 LeoOuyang24

Hey, maybe we should have a google meet or make a WhatsApp group to discuss this?

SidhaantThakker avatar Oct 24 '21 17:10 SidhaantThakker

Yeah sounds good

LeoOuyang24 avatar Oct 25 '21 00:10 LeoOuyang24

Yeah, I agree to this as well

E-wave112 avatar Oct 25 '21 21:10 E-wave112
