HackSense REST API

REST API for the HackSense system: https://hsbp.org/HackSense

Dependencies

• Erlang R16 (works with R15, but you need to work around the usage of binary_to_integer/1 in src/hacksense_status.erl)
• everything else is automatically installed if you use rebar either directly or by running make

Building

$ git clone https://github.com/hsbp/hacksense-webmachine.git
$ cd hacksense-webmachine
$ make

Starting up

Executing ./start.sh boots the Erlang VM and starts the REST API on http://localhost:8000 while giving you an Erlang shell. If you don't see the prompt (1> for the first command), press Enter.

To clone the backend storage from another instance, use the following command in the Erlang shell. (Don't forget the dot at the end, it's like ; in C-like languages.)

hacksense:import_remote_csv("https://vsza.hu/hacksense/history.csv").

Configuration

The API looks for the secret signing key in priv/hacksense.key, you should put some random bytes there.
