$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ gunicorn app:api
## Using the API
The API exposes the following endpoints:
- GET `/`return views and downloads for all items that Solr knows about¹. Accepts `limit` and `page` query parameters for pagination of results.
- GET `/item/id`return views and downloads for a single item (*id* must be a positive integer).
¹ We are querying the Solr statistics core, which technically only knows about all items that have either views or downloads.
## Todo
- Add API documentation
- Close up DB connection when gunicorn shuts down gracefully
- Better logging
- Return HTTP 404 when item_id is nonexistent
- Tests
