Krunker Map Downloader API
This web application is based an introduction to background worker processes in Heroku, which can be found at the Heroku Devcenter.
I've made the 'web' process return a job id instead of the actual job result. The job id can be saved by the client, and used subsequently to long-poll the web process. Once the worker is done, when queried with the job id, the web process returns the result.
Example to start map downloader: https://krunkermapdownloader.herokuapp.com/?name=nameofmap
Make sure to copy the job id somewhere safe for later use.
Example to retrieve map data generated: https://krunkermapdownloader.herokuapp.com/?job=jobid
I've also added app.json and this readme so you can:
