Aruppi API (v5.0.0) (Preview release)

This API has everything about Japan, from anime, music, radio, images, videos ... to japanese culture

These are the services used for the Aruppi App (only available in Spanish language)

Aruppi API has been developed to bring together all the information about Japanese culture, from anime and manga to the most secret places in Japan, its gastronomy and even its festivities.

We are in continuous development to implement more features and improvements in the functioning of it, to later implement it in the mobile application.

Build the Project

Build the Services

Run the following command in the root directory of your project to build the Docker images:

docker-compose build

Start the Services

Start the application and the database using Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d

Explanation:

• up: Creates and starts the containers.
• -d: Runs the containers in detached mode.

Verify the Services are Running

To check if the services are running correctly, use:

docker-compose ps

You should see output similar to:

NAME	IMAGE	COMMAND	SERVICE	CREATED	STATUS	PORTS
ktor_app	aruppi-api-app	"/app/entrypoint.sh"	app	19 seconds ago	Up 2 seconds	0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp

Additionally, you can view the logs to ensure the application has started without errors:

docker-compose logs -f app

Countdown to deprecation of v3 API

Aruppi API version 4.x.x has been deprecated, that's why all of you who are using it should migrate as soon as possible to version 5.x.x which we have already released.

Otherwise, if you want to use older versions you can host them yourself on your servers, and download the code in the corresponding branches of v2.x.x and v3.x.x. In case you want to use an even lower version of the API we recommend you to have a look at this other version v1.x.x

Currently the Aruppi app on Android is already using the v5.x.x API services from version v3.0.0, which you can download from our website: Download Aruppi App
