# EAMCO Auto-Delivery API The **EAMCO Auto-Delivery API** is an intelligent microservice responsible for managing and automating heating oil deliveries. Using a predictive model based on weather data, it estimates when customers will need a refill and helps schedule deliveries proactively. This service is the backbone of the automatic delivery program, featuring a self-correcting algorithm that refines its predictions over time, ensuring customers never run out of oil.

The service compares its predicted usage against the actual usage (based on gallons delivered) and adjusts the K-Factor, improving the accuracy of all future predictions for that customer. --- ## API Endpoints ### Main Triggers - `GET /main/temp` - **Description**: Manually triggers the fetch and storage of the current day's temperature. - `GET /main/update/auto` - **Description**: The main cron job entry point. Triggers the daily fuel consumption update for all automatic delivery customers. - `GET /main/update/normal` - **Description**: Triggers the daily fuel consumption update for "normal" (non-auto) customers. ### Delivery & Ticket Management - `POST /confirm/auto/create/{autoid}` - **Description**: Creates a new delivery ticket for an automatic delivery customer, often with pre-authorization details. - `PUT /confirm/auto/update/{autoid}` - **Description**: Confirms a delivery by providing the actual gallons delivered. This triggers the K-Factor refinement. - `GET /delivery/all/customers` - **Description**: Returns a list of all automatic delivery customers, ordered by who needs a delivery most urgently. - `GET /delivery/driver/{driver_employee_id}` - **Description**: Gets a list of all pending automatic deliveries assigned to a specific driver. --- ## Getting Started ### Prerequisites - Python 3.10+ - PostgreSQL database - Access to a weather API (configured in settings). ### Installation 1. **Clone the repository and navigate into it.** 2. **Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:** ```bash python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt ``` 3. **Configure your environment:** The application's configuration is managed by environment variables set in `settings_local.py`, `settings_dev.py`, or `settings_prod.py`. The `MODE` environment variable determines which configuration to use. ### Running the Service #### For Development ```bash export MODE=DEVELOPMENT uvicorn main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port ``` The API will be available at `http://localhost:`, with interactive docs at `http://localhost:/docs`. #### Using Docker The project includes Dockerfiles for containerized deployment. - **Build the image:** ```bash docker build -f Dockerfile.local -t eamco_auto_api:local . ``` - **Run the container:** ```bash docker run -d -p : --env MODE=LOCAL --name auto_api eamco_auto_api:local ``` --- ## Project Structure ``` eamco_auto_api/ ├── app/ │ ├── models/ # SQLAlchemy ORM models (Auto_Delivery, Tickets_Auto_Delivery) │ ├── routers/ # API endpoint definitions (main, confirm, delivery) │ ├── schema/ # Pydantic models (if any) │ └── script/ # Core logic (FuelEstimator, temp_getter) ├── config.py # Logic for loading environment-specific settings ├── database.py # SQLAlchemy engine and session setup ├── main.py # FastAPI application entry point ├── settings_local.py # Settings for the LOCAL environment ├── requirements.txt # Python dependencies └── README.md # This file ```
