Application Description

We are using a FastAPI application that will provide a weather temperature forecast based on a time window provided by the user. The model was created using the Prophet library from Facebook.

There are two endpoints associated with this app.

The first endpoint will return the hostname of the host the app is running on.

@app.get('/hostname',
    summary='Demo',
    description='Get hostname of host running API.')

The second endpoint will produce a forecast based on the user specified time window and return a multidimensional array to the user.

@app.post('/predict',
    summary="Get prediction",
    description="Get a forecast based on the window provided. Forecast will include a JSON representation of the DataFrame \\
        as well as the window sent by request.")
