# IDA recruitment test
|
|
|
|
IDA (**I**n**D**ex re**A**der) is an API for providing data from the well-known share indices ([DAX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAX) & [S&P](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26P_Global_Ratings)). It is intended to represent an exemplary application that exists within [Union Investment](https://www.union-investment.de/startseite) and is designed to test the basic programming skills of applicants.
|
|
|
|
Technically, [Python 3](https://www.python.org/) and [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) are used for the API. Both technologies allow fast and stable web service development.

## Preparation
|
|
|
|
Before you start, you must:
|
|
|
|
- Install [Python 3.7.x.](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
|
|
- Install [Pipenv](https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/#install-pipenv-today)
|
|
|
|
To activate this project's virtualenv, run following command:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
pipenv shell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then install the project dependencies with:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
pipenv install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After successful installation the API can be started locally with the command:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
uvicorn main:app --reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will now be able of accessing the API via your browser on [http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000).
|
|
|
|
## Exercises
|
|
|
|
Please complete the exercises within one week and submit the results as previously agreed.We will discuss the task together in a subsequent interview. All tasks can be solved with the help of the [documentation](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/).
|
|
|
|
If you have direct questions about the Recrutiment Test, you can contact us directly via e-mail at [cloudoperations@union-investment.de](mailto:cloudoperations@union-investment.de).
|
|
|
|
**Good luck with the exercises!**
|
|
|
|
### Excercise 1
|
|
|
|
Extend the API with another endpoint that should be accessible via the `/getdata` path. This endpoint is to return all share indices in a list page by page. Each page should contain a maximum of 30 elements.
|
|
|
|
### Excercise 2
|
|
|
|
Please complete the `create_upload_files` method so that you can update share indices data at runtime. The data should be sent in the form of a CSV file using an HTTP POST request.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following curl command can be used for testing:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -d @daxsp.csv http://127.0.0.1:8000/uploadfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[Note in the documentation](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/request-files/)
|
|
|
|
### Excercise 3
|
|
|
|
Finally, please write appropriate unit tests for your two tasks using the [components provided by FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/testing/).
|
|
To do this, expand the test_main.py file. The tests can be run with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
pytest
|
|
```
