TimeToTask

REST API web service just with 2 active functions.

• reverse string in request 'phrase'
• calculates the quantity of words in request 'phrase'

And 1 passive function.

• statistics tracking mechanism (calculate how many times each endpoint was accessed each day).

Requirements

• Python 3.6+

Tasks list

1 - The API endpoint api/strings-operations/reverses/ can accept POST request with a string and returns the string where each word is reversed. Example: POST to api/strings-operations/reverses/ with data {"phrase": "I love hamburgers"}. In response you will get: {"result": "I evol sregrubmah"}

2 - The API endpoint api/strings-operations/word-counts/ should calculates the quantity of words. Example:  POST to api/strings-operations/word-counts/ with data {"phrase": "I love hamburgers"}. In response you will get: {"result": 3}

3 - We should develop a statistics tracking mechanism that tracks how many times each endpoint was accessed each day. This data should be available from admin interface. For instance, as an admin I can see the page with columns 'Date', 'URL' and 'Access count' and values '9-20-20017', api/strings-operations/reverses/ and 25. The admin should not have access to edit these fields. We should be able to filter the result by endpoint url and by date.

Task Requirements

• Use the latest versions of technologies: Python 3, Django and Django admin, DRF, SQLite, Git.
• Please, document your API
• You API should work with JSON data only
• Write tests. You are able to use your favorite test framework
• Write short README.md file with instructions how to install your app and run tests
• API should be public accessed (no need of registration and authorization for API access)
• It would be nice if you use Middlewares when developing statistics tracking system (option 4 from Specifications).
