Calidrought is a project that aims to expose drought data in a way that makes data visualizations easy to create by providing a simple, RESTful API.
It is a revival of the legacy Calidrought application, which was built on top of Node.js.
The beginning goals of this project is to:
- Crawl and collect data from the CDEC website.
- Present the CDEC data scoped only to stations and reservoirs.
That's it. Once those two goals are achieved, I'm calling a v1.0 and deploying.
As this is an open API, I'm not going to add any authentication mechanisms to the application.
- Install dependencies with
mix deps.get - Create and migrate your database with
mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phoenix.server
Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
