About y-api service

The service provides domain categorization services and can be used both locally and in a distributed system. In the latter case, the speed of receiving a response decreases due to network delays.

Domain categorization requests are made using the HTTP 1.1 protocol. The service counts requests for successfully categorized domains and unknown domains, which are reflected in the counter_cat and counter_unknown_cat counters, respectively. These counters are reset 24 hours after the start of the docker container. The values of both counters can be obtained via an HTTP 1.1 request.

A stable connection to the Internet is required for the uninterrupted operation of the service:

  • loading the database and updating it
  • sending counter_cat and counter_unknown_cat values
  • sending additional information about the instance with the container

Stats are sent every 5 minutes.


Using y-api service

Starting the service

1. Install docker.
2. Load the archive with the container image with sudo docker load -i y_api.tar.gz 3. Run the image in the docker subnet.
    3.1 Alternatively, create a separate subnet
          sudo docker network create --driver=bridge --subnet=193.33.33.0/24 y-api-net
          and run the container
          sudo docker run -it -d --net y-api-net --ip 193.33.33.33 y-api:1

4. Check the service with curl http://193.33.33.33/qwerty.com

Service response: {"category": [36, 49], "bad": false, "category_name": ["Education", "Computers & Internet"]}

ATTENTION! The request counter is sent every 5 minutes. Check time must be shorter so the data is not sent to the statistics server for billing.

Logging is done to stdout and stderr.

The supported request is GET.
