# DSpace Statistics API
A simple REST API to expose Solr view and download statistics for items in a DSpace repository. This project contains a standalone indexing component and a WSGI application.
## Requirements
- Python 3.5+
- PostgreSQL version 9.5+ (due to [`UPSERT` support](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/UPSERT)).
- DSpace 4+ with [Solr usage statistics enabled](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/SOLR+Statistics)
## Installation
Create a virtual environment and run it:
$ python -m venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ gunicorn app:api
## Deployment
There are example systemd service and timer units in the `contrib` directory.
## Using the API
The API exposes the following endpoints:
- GET `/items`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). Returns HTTP 404 if an item id is not found.
¹ We are querying the Solr statistics core, which technically only knows about items that have either views or downloads.
## Todo
- Add API documentation
- Close up DB connection when gunicorn shuts down gracefully
- Better logging
- Tests
- Check if database exists (try/except)
