BrAPI proxy solution

A BrAPI server instance that functions as a proxy to merge and combine endpoints from existing BrAPI services.

Installation

• Step 1: Install BrAPI Proxy
  • To install the BrAPI Proxy, run the following command:

    pip install brapi_proxy

• Step 2: Test the Installation (Optional)
  • To ensure that the installation was successful, you can run the BrAPI Proxy in demo mode with the following command:

    brapi_proxy --demo

    This will start a service on port 8080 from a configuration based on the BrAPI Test Server

Usage

• Step 1: Create Configuration File

  • Create a file named config.ini.
  • Populate this file with the necessary configuration settings.

• Step 2: Start the Service

  • Start the service by running the command:

    brapi_proxy

  • If the config.ini file is located outside the working directory, use the --config option to specify its location. For example:

    brapi_proxy --config /path/to/config.ini

Structure Configuration File

Create a config.ini file with the necessary configuration settings.

Basic Configuration

Include at least the brapi section:

[brapi]
port=8080
host=0.0.0.0
location=/
threads=4
debug=False
version=1.2.3

Optional: Serverinfo

Optionally, provide serverinfo entries:

[email protected]
documentationURL=https://github.com/matthijsbrouwer/brapi-proxy/
location=Wageningen
organizationName=Wageningen University and Research
organizationURL=https://www.plantbreeding.wur.nl/
serverDescription=Demo-version proxy to combine multiple BrAPI services
serverName=BrAPI-Proxy

Optional: Authorization

Optionally, provide authentication tokens to restrict access in the authorization section:

[authorization]
john=tokenjohn123abc
mary=tokenmary456def

Server Definitions

Within sections prefixed with server., define the underlying servers:

[server.test1]
url=https://test-server.brapi.org/brapi/v2
calls=commoncropnames,variants,allelematrix
authorization=XXXX
prefix.variants=barley:
prefix.variantsets=barley:
prefix.references=barley:
prefix.referencesets=barley:
prefix.callsets=barley:

[server.test2]
url=https://test-server.brapi.org/brapi/v2
calls=commoncropnames,variants,allelematrix
prefix.variants=wheat:
prefix.variantsets=wheat:
prefix.references=wheat:
prefix.referencesets=wheat:
prefix.callsets=wheat:

[server.test3]
url=https://test-server.brapi.org/brapi/v2
calls=samples,studies,plates,callsets,variantsets,referencesets,references

To include all available and supported calls from a namespace:

[server.test3]
url=https://test-server.brapi.org/brapi/v2
calls=core.*

To include all available and supported calls:

[server.test3]
url=https://test-server.brapi.org/brapi/v2
calls=*
