# 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 and Testing
|
||
Create a Python virtual environment and install the dependencies:
|
||
|
||
$ python -m venv venv
|
||
$ . venv/bin/activate
|
||
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||
|
||
Set up the environment variables Solr and PostgreSQL:
|
||
|
||
$ export SOLR_SERVER=http://localhost:8080/solr
|
||
$
|
||
$ 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)
|
||
- Version API
|
||
- Use JSON in PostgreSQL
