Super dumb questions

[kothique]

Probably I'm missing something, because all the documentation available (README) gives me no clue about what to do when one has successfully started the marketstore server.

How do I learn about key concepts? How do I create a measurement and write data to it? What about indexing? Is the python client the only choice? This article mentions HTTP-based API. Does it exist, and if it does, how to use it?

I'm sorry for asking such (probably) silly questions, but I am much confused, and I hope you can point me in the right direction.

I agree. Not a silly question, docs don't lead one to dive in beyond starting it up and the yml. examples are deprecated. If anyone has more examples somewhere on github, posting here could be useful.

Thanks for the feedback. For how to use it, https://github.com/alpacahq/marketstore#python helps? For concepts, you can read https://github.com/alpacahq/marketstore/tree/master/docs/design

I understand the examples are deprecated. Hope someone can help here.

I think the new examples should base on concrete language (Python, Go, Rust, etc.) instead of shell scripts.
