Requirements

The system is built over the following standards and tools:

• Flask a Python based micro-framework for handling server requests and responses.
• JSON-LD as the preferred data format.
• Hydra as the API standard.
• SQLAlchemy as the backend database connector for storage and related operations.

Apart from this, there are also various Python packages that Hydrus uses. Using python setup.py install installs all the required dependencies.

NOTE: You'll need to use python3 not python2.

Demo

To run a demo for Hydrus using the sample API, just do the following:

Clone Hydrus:

git clone https://github.com/HTTP-APIs/hydrus

Change directory and switch to the develop branch:
