Python API Template - Simple Tokenizer

This repo contains an example of an API of simple-tokenizer in Python.

The following project structure is recommended :

• Auth module for authentication
• Client module for client requests
• Resource module for HTTP registrations and other resources
• Model module for type definitions
• Mapper module for database interactions
• Service module for service functions

Environment file .env

This file will contain the path to packages file and other environment variables to be used in both the API package and Dockerfile.

Create your own version of the .env file and set the variables according to your application's required settings:

cp vars.env .env

Note that you must not share your own copy of .env file, since it might contain security related information (like authentication tokens).

Run directly

source .env
pip install req.txt
gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:$API_PORT --workers 2 simpletokenizerapi:app

Build docker image and run

source .env && sudo docker build --build-arg api_port=$API_PORT --build-arg auth_token=$AUTH_TOKEN -t simple_tokenizer_api:v0.1 .
sudo docker run -p $API_PORT:$API_PORT -d simple_tokenizer_api:v0.1

Test API using cURL

curl -H "Auth-Token: "$AUTH_TOKEN -X POST -d '{"text":"this is some sentence. this is another sentence"}' http://localhost:$API_PORT/tokenize/
{"tokens":["this","is","some","sentence.","this","is","another","sentence"]}

curl -H "Auth-Token: "$AUTH_TOKEN -X POST -d '{"text":"this is some sentence. this is another sentence"}' http://localhost:$API_PORT/count-tokens/
{"count":8}

curl -H "Auth-Token: "$AUTH_TOKEN -X POST -d '{"text":"this is some sentence. this is another sentence"}' http://localhost:$API_PORT/get-unique-words/
{"unique-words":["another","this","is","sentence.","some","sentence"]}

curl -H "Auth-Token: "$AUTH_TOKEN  -X POST -d '{"text":"this is some sentence. this is another sentence"}' http://localhost:$API_PORT/not-existing-api/
"not found"
