Dowell Geometrical Layout of Big Data API

Dowell Geometrical Layout of Big Data API

Welcome to the Dowell Geometrical Layout of Big Data API! This API provides a set of endpoints to help users calculate the optimal arrangement of non-overlapping circles within a given canvas. By specifying the radius, length, and width, users can determine the number of circles that can be arranged in a triangular packaging, minimizing wastage of space.

 The API also provides the exact center coordinates for each circle, with the first circle being at the origin. These coordinates can be converted into geocoordinates for location-based data. With this API, you can efficiently organize and maximize the use of available space for your data visualization needs.

How To Get The API Key

How to get Dowell Geometrical Layout of Big Data API key

Python Example

1) calculating coordinates

Calculating coordinates using a Python script that sends a POST request to a specified API endpoint with payload parameters. The script handles the HTTP response, printing success or failure messages along with optional data processing.

				
					import requests

url = "http://100071.pythonanywhere.com/api"

payload = {
    "api_key": "c2636d98-4f43-4be1-9e3b-47cdfcbe832b",
    "radius": 0.5,
    "length": 10,
    "width": 10,
}

try:
    response = requests.post(url, json=payload)

    if response.status_code == 201:
        print("Resource created successfully")
        # Optionally, you can also print or process the response data
        data = response.json()
        print(data)
    else:
        print(f"Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}")
        print(response.text)

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Request failed with an exception: {e}")

PHP Example

1) calculating coordinates

 

This PHP script calculates coordinates by making a POST request to a specified API URL. It utilizes cURL to handle the request, prints success or failure messages based on the HTTP response status, and optionally processes and displays the response data.

				
						<?php
$url = "http://100071.pythonanywhere.com/api";

$payload = array(
    "api_key" => "c2636d98-4f43-4be1-9e3b-47cdfcbe832b",
    "radius" => 0.5,
    "length" => 10,
    "width" => 10,
);

try {
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($payload));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    $httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

    if ($httpCode == 201) {
        echo "Resource created successfully\n";
        // Optionally, you can also print or process the response data
        $data = json_decode($response, true);
        print_r($data);
    } else {
        echo "Request failed with status code: $httpCode\n";
        echo $response;
    }

    curl_close($ch);

} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Request failed with an exception: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>
$url = "http://100071.pythonanywhere.com/api";

$payload = array(
    "api_key" => "c2636d98-4f43-4be1-9e3b-47cdfcbe832b",
    "radius" => 0.5,
    "length" => 10,
    "width" => 10,
);

try {
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($payload));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    $httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

    if ($httpCode == 201) {
        echo "Resource created successfully\n";
        // Optionally, you can also print or process the response data
        $data = json_decode($response, true);
        print_r($data);
    } else {
        echo "Request failed with status code: $httpCode\n";
        echo $response;
    }

    curl_close($ch);

} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Request failed with an exception: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>

React Example

1) calculating coordinates

A React component for calculating coordinates, triggering a POST request to a designated API endpoint. It utilizes the Fetch API to handle asynchronous communication, logging success messages and response data or displaying failure messages with status codes and details.

				
					import React, { useEffect } from 'react';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const url = "http://100071.pythonanywhere.com/api";

  const payload = {
    api_key: "c2636d98-4f43-4be1-9e3b-47cdfcbe832b",
    radius: 0.5,
    length: 10,
    width: 10,
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchData = async () => {
      try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
          method: 'POST',
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          },
          body: JSON.stringify(payload),
        });

        if (response.status === 201) {
          console.log("Resource created successfully");
          const data = await response.json();
          console.log(data);
        } else {
          console.log(`Request failed with status code: ${response.status}`);
          console.log(await response.text());
        }
      } catch (error) {
        console.log(`Request failed with an exception: ${error.message}`);
      }
    };

    fetchData();
  }, [url, payload]);

  return (
    <div>
      {/* Your React component JSX here */}
    </div>
  );
};

export default MyComponent;

Flutter Example

1) calculating coordinates

A Flutter script calculating coordinates through a POST request to a specified API endpoint. It employs the Dart http package for the HTTP communication, printing success messages and response data in case of a 201 status code, or displaying failure messages with status codes and response bodies in case of errors.

				
					import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main() {
  postData();
}

void postData() async {
  final url = Uri.parse("http://100071.pythonanywhere.com/api");

  final payload = {
    "api_key": "c2636d98-4f43-4be1-9e3b-47cdfcbe832b",
    "radius": 0.5,
    "length": 10,
    "width": 10,
  };

  try {
    final response = await http.post(url, body: jsonEncode(payload), headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    });

    if (response.statusCode == 201) {
      print("Resource created successfully");
      final data = jsonDecode(response.body);
      print(data);
    } else {
      print("Request failed with status code: ${response.statusCode}");
      print(response.body);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    print("Request failed with an exception: $error");
  }
}
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main() {
  postData();
}

void postData() async {
  final url = Uri.parse("http://100071.pythonanywhere.com/api");

  final payload = {
    "api_key": "c2636d98-4f43-4be1-9e3b-47cdfcbe832b",
    "radius": 0.5,
    "length": 10,
    "width": 10,
  };

  try {
    final response = await http.post(url, body: jsonEncode(payload), headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    });

    if (response.statusCode == 201) {
      print("Resource created successfully");
      final data = jsonDecode(response.body);
      print(data);
    } else {
      print("Request failed with status code: ${response.statusCode}");
      print(response.body);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    print("Request failed with an exception: $error");
  }
}

WordPress Example

1) calculating coordinates

Step 1: Set up the API name, unique ID and the base url(below). It’s a prerequisite to have WP-GET API plugin installed in your wordpress website
