FPLWrapper

A user-friendly API for the Fantasy Premier League online game.

Built with

• Dropwizard
• PostgreSQL

Deployed via AWS.

Note: I've disabled this API as I'm unable to maintain it.

Usage

See https://kelanyll.com/posts/fpl-wrapper for an introduction into the API and /examples for example usage in Python.

Development

The project can be imported as a Maven project using IntelliJ IDEA. To run the server using IntelliJ IDEA, create a Run configuration that runs the class FPLWrapperApplication with CLI argument server server-config.yml.

Setup

The quickest way to get this running locally will be to install Docker on your machine and run the server and database as containers. You will also need Java 11 and Maven to build the server.

1. Navigate to db/ and run docker build -t fpl-wrapper-db . to build the database image.
2. Set a password for the database under an environment variable (such as FPL_DB_PASS).
3. Run docker run --name fpl-wrapper-db -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$FPL_DB_PASS fpl-wrapper-db to run the container.
4. In /server-config.yml, insert the correct IP address in the JDBC url; the database container should be running at 172.17.0.2 in the default bridge network but you can check this with docker network inspect bridge. See here for more information about Docker networking: https://docs.docker.com/network/network-tutorial-standalone/.
5. In the root of the project, run mvn package to build the server JAR.
6. Run docker build -t fpl-wrapper-server ..
7. Run docker run --name fpl-wrapper-server -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 -e FPL_DB_PASS=$FPL_DB_PASS fpl-wrapper-server.
8. The server should be up and running now: http://localhost:8080/fpl-wrapper/swagger.
