Requesting data: Once starting the microservice it will be waiting for a request on the url and port it was started on. You can request data by running a post call, and sending a json containing "message_datetime". An example call in python would be:
#Libraries
import requests
import json
#URL you are going to send the request to
url = 'http://localhost:3000/Time'
#Example JSON that you are sending
message = {
'message_datetime': '2012-04-23T18:25:43',
'message_text': 'Yo',
'message_room_id': 1,
'message_user_id': 1
}
json_data = json.dumps(message)
#Sending as JSON
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
#Example request to the URL, sending the data as JSON
response = requests.post(url, data=json_data, headers=headers)
Receiving data: The microservice will return a json with the time held in "Time_Stamp".
To see what the response is you can add these lines
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())
The response should look something like this:
200
{'Time_Stamp': '18:25:43'}
