brapi-suggest

A pair of scripts for indexing BrAPI endpoints

setup

• redis running on localhost, default port
• solr instance using solr/conf
• install dependencies npm i

crawl BrAPI endpoint

Run this command to get terms/strings from a BrAPI endpoint and pipe them into a redis hash table.

./scrape.js --name TEST_SERVER --url https://test-server.brapi.org/brapi/v1/ | redis-cli --pipe

Add the param --flush 1 to empty the redis database. The top level keys are based on --name and under each one is a hash that counts the strings/terms that were gathered. These hash keys take the form ["entity","field","value","label","text"]

load redis hashes into solr

Run this command to populate a solr instance for a given BrAPI endpoint

./redis2solr.js --name TEST_SERVER --url https://test-server.brapi.org/brapi/v1/ --solr http://localhost:8983/solr/brapi

query the solr instance

http://localhost:8983/solr/brapi/query?q=*:* replace q=*:* with q=field:value for specific queries

launch express server

Because it's not a good idea to expose the solr instance to the world, we need to run a little server with CORS headers in front of it
