Usage

After installing the python package roman_numerals_webservice the webserver can be started with the following command

roman_numerals_webservice

Alternatively we provide a prebuild docker container to start the web-service

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 derthorsten/roman_numerals_webservice:latest

Once the server is running requests can be send to the web-service. On a Unix system this can be done with curl

$ curl -d '{"roman" : "XL"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8080/roman_to_arabic
"{\"arabic\": 40}"

$ curl -d '{"arabic" : 1987}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8080/arabic_to_roman
"{\"roman\": \"MCMLXXXVII\"}"

To roman_numerals_webservice can also be started from python

import cherrypy
from roman_numerals_webservice import RomanNumeralsWebservice



if __name__ == "__main__":
    config = {
        'server.socket_port': 8080,
        'server.socket_host': '0.0.0.0',
        'environment': 'production',
    }

    cherrypy.config.update(config)
    cherrypy.quickstart(RomanNumeralsWebservice())
