Run DynamoDB Locally

• Simply follow the instructions on in this link (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DynamoDBLocal.html)

• If you need a GUI to view the data then here is how you can install the client:

  • Run the following commands in command line:

    1. npm install dynamodb-admin -g
    2. export DYNAMO_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8000
    3. dynamodb-admin

Testing the API

• There are three types of entities available: Network, Station and Show and you can query them by the following route structure:

  • /api/v2/admin/{entitytype}/{masterid?} - this will either retrieve the entire table or just the single item with the id
  • /api/v2/admin/{entitytype}/save/ - this will create a random entity and insert it into the table
  • /api/v2/search/tags?tags={tagword1}&tags={tagword2}... - this will search on the tags property of the Network table

• Use the above routes to create several dummy content into the tables and then query them out
