This is the RESY api service for the Cloudy Time Machine (CTM) project. The CTM is a modern implementation of the Wayback Machine, the Internet Archive. This project was developed as a proof of concept and demonstration of a relatively simple real world app in a cloud native architecture.
The CTM api Service is the public-facing api for the CTM project. It provides a REST api to request snapshots query previous snapshots. It is intended to be run in conjunction with the rest of the CTM services.
The API service communicates with worker-screenshot instances using Redis as a message bus. Snapshot metadata is stored in a RethinkDB database.
The complete API is documented using Swagger which can be found here
