Necessary libraries:

pip install pySqsListener sqlite3 dateutil Flask webbrowser

Necessary setup:

You'll need the following environment variables:

AWS_ACCOUNT_ID

You'll need the following files: ~/.aws/config

[default]
region=eu-west-1

~/.aws/credentials

[default]
aws_access_key_id = <access key>
aws_secret_access_key = <secret key>

Running it

python start.py

This will start the SQS listener as well as the webserver. Additionally it will open a web browser to the map interface.

Configuration

As this is a PoC, I left a lot of stuff inside the code. For example:

• listener: (extra) filtering on BE
• listener: saving of the messages inside the cache directory (json format)
• use of SQLite instead of rds/mysql/...
• webservice: debug values outputted because no real data within the previous 3h
• webservice: mid-point based on OpenAQ's map for several different parameters
• webservice: port 5000
• start: name of region & sqs message queue
