# bkapi
|
|
|
|
A fast way to look up hamming distance hashes.
|
|
|
|
## Querying
|
|
|
|
There are two interfaces for querying, both of which can be used simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
### HTTP
|
|
|
|
It provides a single API endpoint, `/search` which takes in a `hash` and
|
|
`distance` query parameter to search for matches. The response looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```jsonc
|
|
{
|
|
"hash": 8525958787074004077, // Searched hash
|
|
"distance": 3, // Maximum search distance
|
|
"hashes": [ // Results
|
|
{"hash": 8525958787073873005, "distance": 1}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### NATS
|
|
|
|
It listens on `$NATS_PREFIX.bkapi.search` for a payload like:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
[
|
|
{"hash": 12345, "distance": 3}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each input will have a corresponding entry in the response:
|
|
|
|
```jsonc
|
|
[
|
|
[ // Results for first input
|
|
{"hash": 8525958787073873005, "distance": 1}
|
|
]
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Initial Load
|
|
|
|
The initial entries are populated through the database query `$DATABASE_QUERY`.
|
|
|
|
## Listening
|
|
|
|
It can be configured to listen to PostgreSQL notifications OR with NATS
|
|
messages.
|
|
|
|
### PostgreSQL
|
|
|
|
It subscribes to `$DATABASE_SUBSCRIBE`, expecting events to be a JSON object
|
|
containing the hash.
|
|
|
|
### NATS
|
|
|
|
It subscribes to `$NATS_PREFIX.bkapi.add`, expecting events to be a JSON object
|
|
containing the hash.
|
|
|
|
JetStream is used to ensure no hashes are lost without having to reload the
|
|
entire tree on a connection error.
