Flask site for sun dance.

Currently we use flask to provide easy to use API of the database info, for other web applications. The whole application is organized using flask-blueprints. I rely on OAuth (flask-dance) for authentication. Currently using OAuth from github for authorizing data access. Also using https (secure) for connection and mongodb with special user-role to access the data.

How to run

Before you could run, you need to set bash environment variables.

• For mongodb access (URL+Password)

    ```
    export MONGO_URI=mongodb://<mongodb_username>:<mongodb_password>@<mongodb_server>/default_db?authSource=admin
    ```
  

• For github OAuth

    ```
    export GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=<your github Oauth client id>
    export GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=<your github Oauth secret>
    ```
  

python app.py

Ofcourse you can run this with nginx or gunicorn or any other webserver. But currently only using the internal webserver.

Webservice Info

app.py provides for main of the web based interface. Mongodb and other config is in config.py. I have defined a package named blue. The subpackage api defines all the routes blueprints. The subpackage dbingress defines all the classes which do the mongodb queries. All the classes are derived from the base class DBBase.

There are 4 blueprints defined, each associated with a set of database queries. More will be added in the future as per needs. To access any of the URLs you need to authenticate using OAuth from github. To do that you need to create a github app and set the github info correctly. Put an issue, I can help you set it up.

ticker queries

These queries give information for an input ticker, for example description, employess count, etc. Multiple tickers can be provided as ':' separated. Eg. '2333.HK:AMZN.NASDAQ:1301.TYO' etc.

• /tickerInfo/ticker/accountingCurrency/

accounting statement queries

These queries give information on accounting statements, viz. incomestatement (is), balance sheet (assets, liabs), cash flow statement (cf_op, cf_inv, cf_fin). year can have value all, which will giveout data for all available years. items can have value all which will giveout all available items in the statement. /raw gives string info.

Ticker and on_date can have multiple values, ':' separated. start_date and end_date can only have single value. Date need to be in format YYYY-MM-DD.
