Textmining Public API

Local Installation and Deployment

Prerequisites

• Textmining Utility

Logging

For logging to work, you need to set the following JVM options:

HOSTNAME and LOGPATH

as their values are used to determine the path of the log files "LOGPATH/logs/textmining_api_public-HOSTNAME.log".

MongoDB

1. Provide the name of the MongoDB users collection that you created while installing the Textmining Utility in the application.properties file as follows:
   mongoDb.usersCollection=tm_users
2. Insert a user into MongoDB the users collection:

   db.getCollection("tm_users").insertOne({
   _id: "6296246134cb88685f3846d4",
   username: "root",
   password: "$2y$10$B9gMH2qcoOMhUGGiDN3ecev02zTz3fLjcW3h7fg0vejr1E2NbtZ/q",
   headerValue: "cm9vdDpyb290",
   })

Notes:

1. The password is root BCrypt-hashed and the header value is root:root encoded in Base64.
2. You'll have to provide the header value in the Authorization header of the requests that you send to the APIs:

Starting the Project
