# TDZ C64 Knowledge Base - REST API Documentation
FastAPI-based REST API server for the C64 Knowledge Base. Provides HTTP endpoints for all knowledge base operations including search, document management, URL scraping, AI features, and data export.
## Quick Start
### Installation
```bash
# Install REST API dependencies
pip install -e ".[rest]"
```
### Running the Server
```bash
# Method 1: Using uvicorn directly
uvicorn rest_server:app --reload --port 8000
# Method 2: Using the batch file (Windows)
run_rest_api.bat
# Method 3: Using Python directly
python rest_server.py
```
The server will start on `http://localhost:8000` by default.
**API Documentation:**
- Swagger UI: `http://localhost:8000/api/docs`
- ReDoc: `http://localhost:8000/api/redoc`

## Response Format
All endpoints return JSON responses with a standard format:
### Success Response
```json
{
"success": true,
"data": { ... },
"metadata": { ... }
}
```
### Error Response
```json
{
"detail": "Error message"
}
```
## HTTP Status Codes
- **200 OK** - Success
- **400 Bad Request** - Invalid request parameters
- **403 Forbidden** - Invalid or missing API key
- **404 Not Found** - Resource not found
- **500 Internal Server Error** - Server error
- **503 Service Unavailable** - KnowledgeBase not initialized
## Rate Limiting
Rate limiting can be enabled via environment variable:
```bash
ENABLE_RATE_LIMITING=1
```
Default limits: TBD (not yet implemented in current version)
## CORS Configuration
Configure allowed origins for cross-origin requests:
```bash
CORS_ORIGINS=http://localhost:3000,https://app.example.com
```
Default: Allows all origins (`["*"]`)
## Running Both Servers
The MCP server and REST API server can run simultaneously:
- **MCP Server**: stdio transport (Claude Desktop)
- **REST API Server**: HTTP on port 8000
```bash
# Terminal 1: MCP Server
python server.py
# Terminal 2: REST API Server
uvicorn rest_server:app --reload --port 8000
```
## Testing
Use the interactive Swagger UI for testing:
```
http://localhost:8000/api/docs
```
Or use curl/httpie for command-line testing (see examples above).
## Production Deployment
### Security Recommendations
1. **Enable API Keys**: Set `TDZ_API_KEYS` environment variable
2. **Configure CORS**: Restrict `CORS_ORIGINS` to your domains
3. **Use HTTPS**: Deploy behind a reverse proxy (nginx, caddy)
4. **Rate Limiting**: Enable rate limiting for production
5. **Firewall**: Restrict access to trusted IPs
### Example Production Setup
```bash
# .env file
TDZ_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/tdz-c64-knowledge
TDZ_API_KEYS=secure-key-1,secure-key-2
CORS_ORIGINS=https://app.example.com
API_HOST=127.0.0.1
API_PORT=8000
ENABLE_RATE_LIMITING=1
```
### Using a Reverse Proxy (nginx)
```nginx
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name api.example.com;
ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
```
## Development
### Adding New Endpoints
1. Add Pydantic models to `rest_models.py`
2. Implement endpoint in `rest_server.py`
3. Add to appropriate tag group (`Search`, `Documents`, `AI Features`, etc.)
4. Update this documentation

## Troubleshooting
### Server won't start
**Error**: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fastapi'`
**Solution**: Install REST dependencies:
```bash
pip install -e ".[rest]"
```
### Authentication disabled warning
**Warning**: `No API keys configured - authentication disabled!`
**Solution**: Set API keys in environment:
```bash
set TDZ_API_KEYS=key1,key2,key3 # Windows
export TDZ_API_KEYS=key1,key2,key3 # Linux/Mac
```
### KnowledgeBase not initialized
**Error**: `503 Service Unavailable - KnowledgeBase not initialized`
**Solution**: Check data directory exists and has proper permissions:
```bash
# Windows
echo %TDZ_DATA_DIR%
dir %TDZ_DATA_DIR%
# Linux/Mac
echo $TDZ_DATA_DIR
ls -la $TDZ_DATA_DIR
```

## Testing
### Smoke Tests
Run the smoke test suite to verify core functionality:
```bash
pytest test_rest_smoke.py -v
```
This tests:
- Health check endpoint
- Statistics endpoint
- Basic search
- Document listing
- Authentication
- API documentation (Swagger/ReDoc)
### Full Test Suite
Run comprehensive tests:
```bash
pytest test_rest_api.py -v
```
Note: Some tests may require manual updates to match the current API response format.
