Dabbu Intel API Server v0.7.0

Features

• Added Basic HTTP Authentication
  • all clients need to 'register' themselves with the server by making a POST request to the /clients endpoint
    • this returns a client ID - API key pair that must be sent in all subsequent requests in the X-Credentials header encoded as follows: base64(<client id>:<api key>)
    • provider-specific credentials like access tokens can be sent in the X-Provider-Credentials header
  • API keys can be replaced by making a POST request with the current API key to the /clients/:clientId endpoint
    • this returns the current client ID and a new API key
  • The client can be deleted by making a DELETE request to /clients/:clientId endpoint
• Add an option (extract-info endpoint) for the user to specify keywords or regex, that when found in the text, should associate the given topic with that file in addition to already identified topics

Changes

• Typescript rewrite
• Remove non-function one-pager endpoint
• Add helmet middleware for basic security
• Add a logger
  • Logs are stored locally ONLY, in the config directory
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Dabbu Files API Server\logs\files-api-server.log
    • MacOS: /Users/<username>/Library/Dabbu Files API Server/logs/files-api-server.log
    • Linux: ($HOME OR $XDG_CONFIG_HOME)/.config/Dabbu Files API Server/logs/files-api-server.log
  • Logger still doesn't currently log anything, but it will in future versions. These logs may contain sensitive information, please be careful to remove sensitive information while posting them publicly. We will work towards masking this sensitive information.
