Running your own API

Pre-requisites

First, you need to install a SpeedTracker dashboard by following steps 1 to 3 from the SpeedTracker documentation page. For configuration, follow the Configuration and Configuration > Profiles sections.

You need to install Node.js, npm and MongoDB.

Installation

1. Clone this repository in the location you want to run your API instance

git clone [email protected]:speedtracker/speedtracker-api.git
cd speedtracker-api

1. Run npm install

2. Create a personal access token in your GitHub account under Settings > Personal access tokens

• Be sure to check the option public_repo, since this is needed for the API to update and commit new performance data to your public GitHub version.

1. Create a file called config.{ENVIRONMENT}.json (e.g. config.development.json) with the following structure:

{
  // The port to run the API on (e.g. 8080)
  "port": 1234, 
  
  // Your WebPageTest API key
  "wpt": {
    "key": "abcdefg"
  },
  
  // Your GitHub personal access token
  "githubToken": "abcdefg",
  
  // MongoDB database connection URI
  "database": {
    "uri": "mongodb://localhost:27017/speedtracker"
  }
}

Run

The API instance is ready to run. Run npm start and, assuming you've followed the steps above on your local machine, you can access your API on http://localhost:8080 (or whatever port you chose).

If you see the {"success":false,"error":"INVALID_URL_OR_METHOD"} in your browser, the API is ready to be used. You'll see this message since we didn't supply the full URL the API needs to run a test. To do that, go to:

http://localhost:8080/v1/test/{USERNAME}/{REPOSITORY}/{BRANCH}/{PROFILE}?key={KEY}

And check the documentation page for more information.
