- The project consists of a lambda function that pulls covid-19 statistics about counties from the (
COVID ACT NOW)[https://covidactnow.org/] RESTful API. The function has been deployed on AWS Lambda. It it configured to execute once everyday. The data collected from the API is stored in an public(AWS S3 bucket)[https://covid-data.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/counties_data.csv]
- Since this is public data anyone has access to this file object and they can download it.
- For anyone who wants to reproduce this project, you can do so by following the instructions below:
- Create a IAM Role on the AWS Console, give it the required permissions you can create a policy and attached it to the role.
- $
- $ pip install -r requirements.txt -t .
- $ zip function.zip ./ -$ aws lambda create-function --function-name --zip-file fileb://function.zip --handler main.main --runtime python3.6 --timeout 360 --memory-size 1024 --role arn:aws:iam:::role/ --environment Variables={API_TOKEN=}
- Run/Test the function $ aws lambda invoke --function-name out.json
- Create a rule for the function using AWS Cloud Watch and set it to run after every 24 hours or whenever you wish to.
- Attach the Cloud Watch Event to the Lambda Function and everything should be setuo and good to go.
