# DarkSky API pass-through proxy server

A pass-through proxy to communicate with [DarkSky](https://darksky.net) API server.
## How it works
It acts as a simple web proxy that sends all requests it receives to `https://api.darksky.net`. You may need to send your secret key to the proxy if it is a protected API. Check the official [documentation](https://darksky.net/dev/docs).
The proxy runs on AWS Lambda.
## Supported APIs
* `/forecast`
## Setup
[Terraform](https://www.terraform.io) is used for deployment on AWS.
### Development
[LocalStack](https://localstack.cloud) is used to provide local AWS services.
**Requirements**
* [Docker](https://www.docker.com)
**Steps**
1. Start LocalStack
```shell
docker run --rm -it -p 4566:4566 -p 4571:4571 -e "SERVICES=iam,lambda,apigateway,cloudwatch,logs,sts" localstack/localstack
```
2. Run Terraform scripts
```shell
cd terraform/local
terraform init
terraform apply -auto-approve
```
3. Take note of the outputs when Terraform completes. Example:
```shell
Outputs:
rest_api_url = "http://localhost:4566/restapis/7rujauhl95/api/_user_request_"
```
4. Test the deployed endpoint
```shell
curl http://localhost:4566/restapis/7rujauhl95/api/_user_request_/forecast/[secretKey]/[latitude],[longitude]
```
### Production
**Requirements**
* Have an AWS account ready. We will need the Access and Secret Keys to run the Terraform scripts.
* Have a Terraform account ready. We will need it to store the Terraform states.
**Steps**
1. Run Terraform scripts
```shell
cd terraform/remote
terraform init
terraform apply -auto-approve
```
2. Take note of the outputs when Terraform completes
3. Test the deployed endpoint
