Mapping Data Landscapes: Big Data API, Your Gateway to Insights
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.
Calculate the maximum number of non-overlapping circles that can be placed within a given canvas using triangular packaging.
Determine the arrangement of circles that minimizes wastage of space, ensuring efficient use of the available canvas.
Obtain the exact center coordinates for each circle, with the first circle positioned at the origin.
Convert the center coordinates into geocoordinates for location-based data analysis and visualization.

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}")
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.
"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(

"radius" => 0.5,
"length" => 10,
"width" => 10,

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 (
{/* Your React component JSX here */}
);
};
export default MyComponent;
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");
}
}
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
Step 2: Establish the API endpoint with the inclusion of the API key, and configure the request body to contain the required POST fields.
Step 3: Test the endpoint to obtain a jQuery response from the API. Ensure that the API is functioning correctly by sending a test request and examining the response.
