Resources REST API

[SidhaantThakker]

I had an idea, we could take the entire database here and make an API that could serve the data based on certain requests. It can be used to get the data in a much more streamlined manner, as well as serve as a base for later creating a web app.
I can personally help with this as I work with the MERN stack, I could make the API using Node.js which could be easily integrated into future web apps.

@SidhaantThakker i would like to work on this with you, i also work with nodejs (i am more of a backend guy though)

[davorpa]

There are currently a internal data science project leaded by @eshellman to abord this. What do you think Eric?

[SidhaantThakker]

@E-wave112 Sure!
@davorpa If you like the idea we could have a discussion about it :)

[E-wave112]

Okay @SidhaantThakker so how do we start?

[eshellman]

There is a team of 6 student Sees from Stevens Institute of Technology working on something like this. See https://github.com/EbookFoundation/capstone-projects/blob/master/fpb.md

I'll point them at this issue. They may benefit from expertise of others!

Okay Eric, Many thanks!

Hey, I'm one of the Stevens students and I'd love to work on this. I have experience with MERN stack as well and my current project is blocked until I can query a database. Where can I start?

[SidhaantThakker]

Hey, maybe we should have a google meet or make a WhatsApp group to discuss this?

[LeoOuyang24]

Yeah sounds good

[E-wave112]

Yeah, I agree to this as well

[SidhaantThakker]

We can also talk over discord, send me your email IDs / phone numbers / discord IDs on [email protected] and we can get started! :)
