Betty Cropper

Get started developing:

> git clone git@github.com:theonion/betty-cropper.git
> cd betty-cropper
> virtualenv .
> source bin/activate
> pip install -e .
> pip install "file://$(pwd)#egg=betty-cropper[dev]"

To run the tests:

> py.test tests/

To run an instance of the server

First, make sure that you've installed the development packages for JPEG, PNG, etc.

> pip install betty-cropper
> betty-cropper init

Then edit the settings in betty.conf.py (if you want to use the dev server, you'll want to set DEBUG=True).

> betty-cropper syncdb        # Do the intial django sync
> betty-cropper migrate       # Migrate with south
> betty-cropper create_token  # Create an auth token, to use the API
> betty-cropper runserver

API

Currently, authentication means sending an X-Betty-Api-Key header with a value of your public token. This will likely change to something more mature in future versions.

POST an image (using the key "image") to /api/new, for example:

> curl -H "X-Betty-Api-Key: YOUR_PUBLIC_TOKEN" --form "image=@Lenna.png" http://localhost:8000/api/new

This should return JSON representing that image and its crops, for instance:

{
    "name": "Lenna.png",
    "width": 512,
    "selections": {
        "16x9": {"y1": 400, "y0": 112, "x0": 0, "x1": 512, "source": "auto"},
        "3x1": {"y1": 341, "y0": 171, "x0": 0, "x1": 512, "source": "auto"},
        "1x1": {"y1": 512, "y0": 0, "x0": 0, "x1": 512, "source": "auto"},
        "3x4": {"y1": 512, "y0": 0, "x0": 64, "x1": 448, "source": "auto"},
        "2x1": {"y1": 384, "y0": 128, "x0": 0, "x1": 512, "source": "auto"},
        "4x3": {"y1": 448, "y0": 64, "x0": 0, "x1": 512, "source": "auto"}
        },
    "height": 512,
    "credit": null,
    "id": 1
}

You can get a cropped version of this image using a URL like: http://localhost:8000/1/1x1/300.jpg.

To get the data form an image, send a GET request to /api/id, for example:

> curl -H "X-Betty-Api-Key: YOUR_PUBLIC_TOKEN" http://localhost:8000/api/1

To update the name or credit, use a PATCH on that same endpoint:

> curl -H "X-Betty-Api-Key: YOUR_PUBLIC_TOKEN" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -XPATCH http://localhost:8000/api/1 \
       -d '{"name":"Testing", "credit":"Some guy"}'

To update the selections used for a crop, you can POST to /api/id/ratio, for example:

> curl -H "X-Betty-Api-Key: YOUR_PUBLIC_TOKEN" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -XPOST http://localhost:8000/api/1/1x1 \
       -d '{"x0":1,"y0":1,"x1":510,"y1":510}'

GET /api/search, with an option "q" parameter in order to get a list of files matching that description. For example:

> curl -H "X-Betty-Api-Key: YOUR_PUBLIC_TOKEN" -XGET http://localhost:8000/api/search?q=lenna
