The best places to go for what's here is the changelog

This is an observation service loosly based on the Observation & Measurement specification and the CSIRO implementation. It makes significant deviations from both the original specification and the CSIRO implementation.

Usage

You can either run a local instance of the server or use a publically available demo.

Running Locally

This project makes heavy use of Google Cloud Platform (because it's inexpensive). To do so you will need a Google Cloud Platform project and a Firestore instance. You will also need go >=1.13 installed.

go run ./cmd/api -firestore-project=$GCP_PROJECT_ID

Public Demo

The public demo comes with no guarentees regarding data longevity. It is meant to explore not API not to record observations.

The public demo is available at: https://linked-data-land.appspot.com/v1/observations

API Docs

API docs are available in swagger form: api docs

Run Unit Tests

go test ./... -v --short

Run Unit and Integration Tests

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/creds.json
go test ./... -v -project $MY_GCP_PROJECT
