Running this STEPZEN API

1. Register for COVID Act Now to get your API key.

2. Setup your Flask Back-end with your Postgres database.

   • You can choose to seed with our mock data .csv file or add your own, but you'll need our schemas/tables for this API to function properly!

3. Create .env file with:

STEPZEN_COVID_API_KEY=[YOUR_API_KEY_HERE]

4. Create config.yaml file with:

configurationset:
  - configuration:
      name: postgresql_config
      uri: [YOUR_POSTGRES_DB_URI_INFO_HERE]
  - configuration:
      name: covid_api_config
      apiKey: STEPZEN_COVID_API_KEY

NOTE: Don't forget to add the config.yaml and .env to a .gitignore file!

5. Run stepzen:

$ stepzen start

6. Check your terminal for the localhost:5001 address to enter the playground for the API!
