dp-search-api

A ONS API used to search information against datasets which are published.

Requirements

In order to run the service locally you will need the following:

• Go
• Git
• ElasticSearch

Note

The only breaking change from verion 5.x to 6.x of elasticsearch is highlighting will not work correctly but the api will stil be able to send back responses.

Getting started

• Clone the repo go get github.com/ONSdigital/dp-search-api
• Run elasticsearch
• Run the application make debug

Healthcheck

The endpoint /healthcheck checks the connection to elasticsearch and returns one of:

• success (200, JSON "status": "OK")
• failure (500, JSON "status": "error").

Manually Creating and Deleting Indexes

CREATE: curl -X PUT <HOSTNAME>/search/instances/<instanceID>/dimensions/<dimensionName> -H <AUTH HEADER> DELETE: curl -X DELETE <HOSTNAME>/search/instances/<instanceID>/dimensions/<dimensionName> -H <AUTH HEADER>

The <AUTH HEADER> must be either a valid X-FLorence-Token or a valid Authorization header.

Kafka scripts

Scripts for updating and debugging Kafka can be found here(dp-data-tools)
