# Legal Document Masker API
This is the backend API for the Legal Document Masking system. It provides endpoints for file upload, processing status tracking, and file download.
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- Redis (for Celery)
## File Storage
Files are stored in the following structure:
```
backend/
├── storage/
│ ├── uploads/ # Original uploaded files
│ └── processed/ # Masked/processed files
```
## Setup
### Option 1: Local Development
1. Create a virtual environment:
```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. Set up environment variables:
Create a `.env` file in the backend directory with the following variables:
```env
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here
```
The database (SQLite) will be automatically created when you first run the application.
4. Start Redis (required for Celery):
```bash
redis-server
```
5. Start Celery worker:
```bash
celery -A app.services.file_service worker --loglevel=info
```
6. Start the FastAPI server:
```bash
uvicorn app.main:app --reload
```
### Option 2: Docker Deployment
1. Build and start the services:
```bash
docker-compose up --build
```
This will start:
- FastAPI server on port 8000
- Celery worker for background processing
- Redis for task queue
## API Documentation
Once the server is running, you can access:
- Swagger UI: `http://localhost:8000/docs`
- ReDoc: `http://localhost:8000/redoc`
## API Endpoints
- `POST /api/v1/files/upload` - Upload a new file

- `GET /api/v1/files/{file_id}` - Get file details
- `GET /api/v1/files/{file_id}/download` - Download processed file
- `WS /api/v1/files/ws/status/{file_id}` - WebSocket for real-time status updates
## Development
### Running Tests
```bash
pytest
```
### Code Style

```bash
black .
```
