#🔒 Python backend deployment issue
paper dune
This is going to take some js
In your front end you gotta use fetch to get the api data and extract that data in some script
Can you send the front end github link
sage dune
They don't have a public API as far as I know.
mortal kraken
Yes I have created one already but it's not finished yet so I haven't uploaded it to GitHub yet
sage dune
@mortal kraken Do you have permission to use their API?
paper dune
So the issue you are having is with figuring out how to access the api you've built with react correct?
sage dune
Or a link to where you can sign up to use their public API?
mortal kraken
However,
this will be able to deal with a database or csv file hence I'm scraping the
data then store it and want to only give the front end developer an API to display the data on the website?
mortal kraken

Yes exactly
paper dune
okay can you link the git
mortal kraken
Or a link to where you can sign up to use their public API?
Yes i got my api
mortal kraken
okay can you link the git
For the python code ?

what you are doing is against Stake's TOS
We can't help you with it.
Please don't ask about it here.
mortal kraken
Man I'm just asking how to make the API work

mortal kraken
It's not related to any of the profitable things
sage dune
It doesn't matter, automatically accessing their website for anything is against their TOS.
mortal kraken
I'm trying to learn how to work with live and dynamic data and they have a great example
My issue is about how to deal with the API i have created not there API
I just want to learn how to create an API to make it public for everyone then I can use it in my website
Nothing related to any violation here.
slow wyvern
for calling your own api from the frontend, you usually want to use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch

everyone, youd need some server

lofty roseBOT
Stake_Scraper.py line 41
url = "https://stake.com/_api/graphql"```it's literally in your code dude
mortal kraken
Great, guide me through that please.
It's an option to have it free and it will be able to read the data that is automatically updated in my DB or CSV file ?
slow wyvern
if you want a server and a database, generally no it will not be free. static file hosting is generally free, but to run arbitrary code in the cloud you generally need to pay someone
mortal kraken
Mate I didn't say that I'm not using their data, i said my request is about my API not their

Okay, do you have any idea how much this may cost me ?
slow wyvern
probably $5-7/mo
but if you're just doing this for fun, you can still just have everything running on localhost
your javascript can make requests to your server running on localhost on your personal machine
mortal kraken
Yes it's running well my local host i have already tested it
I was wondering how to make it public and i have tried herouk but it didn't work for me
slow wyvern
so you can just have your javascript fetch("http://localhost:8080/my_api_route")
oh heroku should be fine
it's been a while since i used it though
you need to make sure your server is binding to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1
mortal kraken
Maybe i have made a mistake while uploading or maybe in my project structure
I will check it again
slow wyvern
iirc heroku does something weird with dns so that may be something as well
but i've hosted stuff on the heroku free tier in the past without any problems
mortal kraken
Thanks so much @slow wyvern
Can you check my basic API code and to see how I can enhance it or what is the better to use instead of this because I feel it's not that good
slow wyvern
just from a code style perspective, one thing that sticks out immediately is the heavy nesting
so you have a pattern like this quite a bit: ```py
if foo:
if bar:
if baz:
do_whatever()
this pushes code to the right and makes it harder to parse (plus it's harder for people without external monitors to read)
instead of this, you can invert the condition
if not foo:
return
if not bar:
return
if not baz:
return
do_whatever()
the docstring is good, though maybe a bit passe? if you specify the types of your parameters in your docstring, you should also specify the types of your parameters using python's optional typing
mortal kraken
Thanks for the tip, will do it for sure
Yes this will do but regarding the another .py file I have do you have any idea to enhance my API ?
