This is a Python application that serves up an image from Te Papa's collections. And then another one. And another. And again...
It uses Te Papa's API, the askCO package, and Flask.
Clone this repo. In a virtual environment import the askCO and Flask packages. This should give you requests too, but doublecheck.
Register for an API key save it as an environment variable called TPAK-RANDOM.
In app.py you can set a few config parameters. I recommend keeping max_records at 1000 while you're testing it out, as a full object harvest takes a while.
In random.js you can set the refresh rate – by default this is 15 seconds.
