2 Objectives

The objective of this assignment is to implement a RESTful API for an auction website (think TradeMe or eBay). You will be provided with the API specification that you must implement, together with a database specification. You will also be allocated a project repo on the SENG365 eng-git server that you will use to maintain your application and submit your code.

Assignments 1 and 2 combine to give you the full experience of building a complete web application following an API-first approach. The lectures and labs in term 1 will give you the tools you’ll need to implement a web service to deliver the event API in Assignment 1. In term 2, you’ll design and develop a web client for Assignment 2 that uses the API to allow users to actually to create and signup for events.

We’ll discuss the domain and the API design for both assignments in the first few weeks of the semester.

3 Additional information on the application

Information is provided on Learn relating to:

• The API specification for Assignment 1, and

On eng-git, you will be provided with:

• A student-specific repository, containing a basic application and API specification,
• A set of Postman tests to test your server-side application in a local environment.

4 Required technologies

Your application must deploy and run successfully in the lab environment.

5 Indicative criteria used in the assessment

This assignment is all about correctness and meeting expectations for the API. Your creativity should be directed towards a clean and accurate implementation.

Among other things, we’ll be looking for:

1. The proportion of the API that you’ve implemented correctly; and
2. Appropriate handing of error conditions; and
3. Effectiveness of your implementation of the authentication and authorization requirements (as defined in the API specification).

Regardless of technology though there are some things your API implementation must do (“It’s not just about the features.” ™):

1. It must run in the lab environment.
2. It must NOT modify the provided implementation of the ackdoor endpoints.
3. It must successfully authenticate users.
4. It must be persistent. We’ll run it, stop it, and expect any changes to still be there.

6 Submission

Your code for this assignment must be committed to your allocated SENG365 project repo at eng-git.canterbury.ac.nz. We’ll assess the last commit made before the cut-off time for the assignment.
