APIs

Okta Authentication

The Okta Authentication API provides operations to authenticate users, perform multifactor enrollment and verification, recover forgotten passwords, and unlock accounts. Primary authentication allows you to verify username and password credentials for a user.

Google Maps API

Allows building of customized, agile experiences that bring the real world to our users with static and dynamic maps, Street View imagery, and 360° views. This map uses the google-map-react library which is built on the Google Maps API.

Back-End API

Allows for access of locations of police incidents and details.

Data Science API

Data Science scrapes data from Twitter and Reddit which compiles and cleans that information for the Web Developers.

Environment Variables

In order for the app to function correctly, the user must set up their own environment variables. There should be a .env file containing the following:

*  PORT - What port the backend is on
*  DS_API_URL - Data Science API
*  DS_API_TOKEN - Secret Token for DS API
*  DATABASE_URL - Postgres URL for our database, includes username, password, port and database name
*  OKTA_URL_ISSUER - URL connecting authentification to Okta
*  OKTA_CLIENT_ID - Client specific id for web dev
*  REACT_APP_CLIENT_ID - Okta client specific id for front end
*  REACT_APP_OKTA_ISSUER_URI - Okta URL connecting with authentification for front end
*  REACT_APP_API_URI - API URL for back end API
*  REACT_APP_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY - Google Maps API key
