Basic gist:

• read info from SAPI
• build in-memory indexes
• support six degrees -esque functionality
• see the root page for the full list of endpoints

• clone the repo
• npm install
• configure .env with local environment param values (see below)
• node index.js (or npm run start)
• go to localhost:

When building locally, specify them in a local file, .env (and NB, this must not be included in the git repo, hence has a specific line in .gitignore). When deploying to Heroku, they need to be specified in the app's settings, Config Variables.

• TOKEN=...
  • Note: in the absence of token, the application will fall back to OKTA. Otherwise, the token is passed to the endpoints as a header.

• CAPI_KEY=...
• PORT=
• BASE_URL=
• OKTA_CLIENT=
• OKTA_ISSUER=
• OKTA_SECRET=
• SESSION_TOKEN=

• PORT=3004
• BASE_URL=http://localhost:3004

• PORT=3005
• BASE_URL=http://localhost:3005

• Get SESSION_TOKEN from LastPass
• Get details for finding OKTA_ISSUER, OKTA_CLIENT & OKTA_SECRET in LastPass

• ONTOLOGY, default value is 'people', but could also be 'organisations', 'topics'
  • additionally, to use (ugly) v2 ids, 'peopleId', 'organisationsId', 'topicsId'
    • to map the UUID-esque ids to human-readable names, you can use the new endpoint/entityPrefLabels
• ONTOLOGIES (overrides ONTOLOGY), a csv, e.g. 'people,organisations', allowing many more correlations
• STARTUP_RANGE_SECS, default is 0, what pre-processing to do on startup (before listening), i.e. what interval to look for articles. Will delay the app on startup. Must not take longer than 25ish seconds. If the pre-processing fails, the app will not start.
• POST_STARTUP_RANGE_SECS, default is 0, what processing to do immediately after startup (after listening), i.e. what interval to look for articles.
  • the idea is to have the combined total range come to 7 days, as soon as poss, but ensuring the initial load is not so long that it kills the app on startup (when Heroku complains about it taking too long). There will be a period of a minute or so after the app has started listening when it won't have the full complement of data (which will be loading in as part of the post startup process).
• UPDATE_EVERY_SECS, default 0, to poll for the latest articles every N secs and incorporate them into the stats
• FACETS_CONCURRENCE, default 4, used to throttle the SAPI calls to this number of concurrent requests.
• CAPI_CONCURRENCE, default 4, used to throttle the CAPI calls to this number of concurrent requests.

• PORT=.... (is normally set by Heroku, but you need to specify it if running locally)
• DEBUG=correlations:*,bin:lib:*
