Rolltime Historic API

The historic API uses a bike station id as a REST endpoint and, together with a date parameter, will query the PostgreSQL instance for the specified station data. If no date is provided, the API will return data for the current date (server time).

Examples

The following will query the endpoint /station together with the station id 442. It also provides the date=2015-06-11 parameter, specifying the date.

$ curl localhost:2000/station/442?date=2015-06-11

The result will be:

{
    "success": true,
    "message": "Data queried successfully.",
    "station": "442",
    "date": "2015-06-11",
    "data": {
        "count": 94,
        "result": [
          {
            "id": 442,
            "availabledocks": 50,
            "totaldocks": 51,
            "availablebikes": 0,
            "lastcommunicationtime": "2015-09-11 09:18",
            "executiontime": "2015-09-11 09:21",
            "day": "2015-09-11",
            "week": 37,
            "weekday": 4,
            "availabledocksratio": 0.980392,
            "availablebikesratio": 0
          },
          ...
        ]
    }
}

Docker Usage

In order to be run successfully, the Dockerfile needs to be linked to a postgres container and ran with the postgres variables:

• POSTGRES_DB_NAME: database name.
• POSTGRES_DB_USER: database user name.
• POSTGRES_DB_PASSWORD: database password.

Without those, the application won't run.
