API

The Fortune-Teller API is at the core of all Fortune-Teller functionality. While the App provides a means to guide users through the functionality and provide an attractive User Interface, the API should be doing the work. Deeper logic should be limited to the API.
The API is hosted as a GitHub Project and based on Ruby on Rails. It can be installed separately and the architecture considers key settings to be saved in files rather than database entries. However, the API is also deployed on a server under api.fortune-teller.me.
Within the API there are two major parts: the public part with no intention of saving requests or calculations and the registered part.
