Muezzin API
=================================

Welcome to Muezzin API web service!

This application provides Islamic prayer times for more than 200 countries, their cities and many of their districts. Data is read from Republic of Turkey, Presidency of Religious Affairs' [**website**](http://www.diyanet.gov.tr) and provided in a simple JSON structure.

The application will be running at **https://muezzin-staging.herokuapp.com**.

Technical Details
--------------
Muezzin API application is developed using [**Play Framework**](https://www.playframework.com/) and [**Scala**](http://www.scala-lang.org/). The application utilizes [**Akka Actors**](http://akka.io/) actors for scheduling jobs, [**WS**](https://www.playframework.com/documentation/latest/ScalaWS) for making HTTP requests, [**Firebase Realtime Database**](https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/) for data persistance and [**Errors**](https://github.com/mehmetakiftutuncu/Errors) for error handling.

Deploying Muezzin API to AWS ElasticBeanstalk
-------------
Add host of your EB host to [application.conf](conf/application.conf) under `play.filters.hosts.allowed`. Here's an example:
```
play {
filters.hosts {
allowed = [
"muezzin.123456.eu-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com",
"muezzin.herokuapp.com",
"muezzin-staging.herokuapp.com",
"localhost:9000"
]
}
}
```

Then run `sbt elastic-beanstalk:dist` to create ZIP file that you can upload to your ElasticBeanstalk.
