Change / route to /items
I think it's more obvious if the "all items" route is plural. Also,
this will allow me to eventually put documentation at the root.

DSpace Statistics API

A quick and dirty REST API to expose Solr view and download statistics for items in a DSpace repository.

Written and tested in Python 3.5 and 3.6. SolrClient (0.2.1) does not currently run in Python 3.7.0. Requires PostgreSQL version 9.5 or greater for UPSERT support.

Installation

Create a virtual environment and run it:

$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.6 venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ gunicorn app:api

Using the API

The API exposes the following endpoints:

  • GET /itemsreturn views and downloads for all items that Solr knows about¹. Accepts limit and page query parameters for pagination of results.
  • GET /item/idreturn 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
