Server API is based on HTTPS and JSON. Clients send messages to the server following the API, and handle
responses from the server.
For overview and further details on the requirements of the system, see the course project work
requirements elsewhere. This document only documents the API that must be supported by server and
client implementations.
Please note that automatic tests will be conducted to verify the functionality. Therefore, both the server
and the client MUST follow this API. Failing to do so fails the tests. If specific input/output is given in the
requirements, it must be the same in your coursework.

REQ5 HTTP Headers MUST contain the content size in bytes and content type using standard HTTP
headers.
REQ6 HTTP header Content-Type MUST be “application/json”.
REQ7 Database MUST be used to store all user sent data
1.1. Feature 1: User can send inform others about a sightseeing location
URL: https://server.url/info
Request type: POST
Response code for successfully operation: 200
Response code failed operation: 400-499
Header information that must be included in minimum:
- Content-Length: size of the content
- Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: only registered users can perform this operation
Data format for posting a sightseeing location:
{
“locationName” : “Oulun Tuomiokirkko”,

Where:
- locationName is the name of the location and can be chosen by the user
- locationDecription where user can provide a short freely written description about the location
- locationCity is the name of the city where the sightseeing location is
- locationStreetAddress is the local address for the sightseeing location
- originalPoster is the name of the person who sent the location information (user’s chosen
nickname taken from the user’s profile, not to be mixed with login username)
- originalPostingTime time when the user sent the location information, represented in UTC
NOTE: The server doesn’t care whether same location has been sent multiple times so you must make sure
every location information is unique even it has the same information

Description:
Server MUST NOT accept other than registration requests from unauthorized clients. Client MUST send
passwords using HTTPS. Passwords MUST not be sent over insecure HTTP connections. Server MUST not
store the plain password, but only store a hash of it. A good hash function MUST be used to make sure
hashed passwords are secured and as unique as possible to avoid collisions.
For other than registration requests, users MUST be authenticated using Basic HTTP authentication (see
References). Authentication MUST be done over HTTPS using the Authorization header, where
username:password string MUST be UTF-8.

google maps for example).
NOTE: Coordiates are not mandatory, if no coordinates exist for a sightseeing location, no coordinate
information is provided in a message when requested from the server.

characters long
- the description is manually checked in order to see whether the text is corresponding to the
location data and not just some random characters
- The AI component is chat4all open source AI that you can download and use in your own computer.
For instructions, see lecture video about AI and example codes are available in the extra section in
moodle.
Additional Quality Improvements
If the software quality is high enough, the final grade of the assignment can be increased by 1. Note that
these are evaluated by the teacher and there are no guidelines what is required in minimum. Here are
examples of the quality aspects we look for:
• Properly commented code/interfaces
• Usage of unit tests
• Old messages are archieved after certain amount of time (for example after 2 months the messages
are removed from the actual database to for example a text file or other database to prevent the
database becoming too large affecting the speed of it)
• System backup
• System recovery
• Clean code
• …
