🌻 Achoo – Pollen Forecast API for Germany

This is the source code for the API server running over at https://api.achoo.dev. Check out the documentation at https://achoo.dev.

Where is the data coming from?

The API is using data provided by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). The raw data can be found here. Basically all I'm doing is slightly changing the format and providing endpoints to query only parts of the data.

Running the server

Build the project by either running make dist (builds for linux/amd64 by default) or by running go build -o dist/pollen-api.

Start the server by executing the binary

./pollen-api

This will start an HTTP server listening on port 8000. The server itself does not support HTTPS, so you should use a reverse proxy for that.

Redis

The server stores all its data in redis. You can configure the connection parameters through environment variables.

Variable	Description	Default
REDIS_HOST	The address including the port of the redis server.	localhost:6379
REDIS_KEY_PREFIX	If set, all redis keys will be prefixed with this.	""
REDIS_PASSWORD	Password to use when connecting to the redis erver.	""

Running the tests

make test
