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 3.6. SolrClient (0.2.1) does not currently run in Python 3.7.0.

Installation

Create a virtual environment and run it:

$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.6 venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install falcon gunicorn SolrClient
$ gunicorn app:api

Todo

• Add API documentation
• Close up DB connection when gunicorn shuts down gracefully
• Better logging
• Return HTTP 404 when item_id is nonexistent
