Setup Instructions

Local Install

Make sure Golang is installed.

Build (in the root of the bridges repository):

GO111MODULE=on go build examples/wolframalpha/main -o wolframalpha

Then run the bridge:

./wolframalpha

Docker

To run the container:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 linkpool/wolframalpha-bridge:latest

AWS Lambda

zip wolframalpha.zip ./wolframalpha

Upload the the zip file into AWS and then use wolframalpha as the handler.

Important: Set the LAMBDA environment variable to true in AWS for the adaptor to be compatible with Lambda.

Solidity Usage

Example: https://github.com/linkpoolio/example-chainlinks/blob/master/contracts/WolframAlphaConsumer.sol

Testing

To call the API, you need to send a POST request to http://localhost:<port>/ with the request body being of the ChainLink RunResult type.

For example:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/fetch \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d @- << EOF
{
	"jobRunId": "1234",
	"data": {
		"query": "What's the distance between Los Angeles and New York?",
		"index": 1
	}
}
EOF

Should return something similar to:

{
    "jobRunId": "1234",
    "status": "completed",
    "error": null,
    "pending": false,
    "data": {
        "full": "about 2464 miles",
        "index": 1,
        "query": "What's the distance between Los Angeles and New York?",
        "result": "2464",
        "unit": "miles"
    }
}
