+# T-Route FastAPI
+
+The following doc is meant to explain the T-Route FastAPI implementation using docker compose and shared volumes. 
+
+## Why an API?
+
+T-Route is used in many contexts for hydrological river routing:
+- NGEN 
+- Scientific Python Projects
+- Replace and Route (RnR)
+
+In the latest PR for RnR (https://github.com/NOAA-OWP/hydrovis/pull/865), there is an requirement to run T-Route as a service. This service requires an easy way to dynamically create config files, restart flow from Initial Conditions, and run T-Route. To satisfy this requirement, a FastAPI endpoint was created in `/src/app` along with code to dynamically create t-route endpoints. 
+
+## Why use shared volumes?
+
+Since T-Route is running in a docker container, there has to be a connection between the directories on your machine and the directories within the container. We're sharing the following folders by default:
+- `data/rfc_channel_forcings`
+  - For storing RnR RFC channel domain forcing files (T-Route inputs)
+- `data/rfc_geopackage_data`
+  - For storing HYFeatures gpkg files 
+  - Indexed by the NHD COMID, also called hf_id. Ex: 2930769 is the hf_id for the CAGM7 RFC forecast point. 
+- `data/troute_restart`
+  - For storing TRoute Restart files
+- `data/troute_output`
+  - For outputting results from the T-Route container
+
+## Quickstart
+1. From the Root directory, run:
+```shell
+docker compose --env-file ./compose.env up
+```
+
+This will start the T-Route container and run the API on localhost:8004. To view the API spec and swagger docs, visit localhost:8004/docs
+
+2. Submit a request
+```shell
+curl -X 'GET' \
+  'http://localhost:8004/api/v1/flow_routing/v4/?lid=CAGM7&feature_id=2930769&hy_id=1074884&initial_start=0&start_time=2024-08-24T00%3A00%3A00&num_forecast_days=5' \
+  -H 'accept: application/json'
+```
+
+This curl command is pinging the flow_routing v4 endpoint `api/v1/flow_routing/v4/` with the following metadata:
+```
+lid=CAGM7
+feature_id=2930769
+hy_id=1074884
+initial_start=0
+start_time=2024-08-24T00:00:00
+num_forecast_days=5
+```
+
+which informs T-Route which location folder to look at, what feature ID to read a gpkg from, the HY feature_id where flow is starting, the initial start flow for flow restart, start-time of the routing run, and the number of days to forecast. 
+
+You can also run the following args from the swagger endpoint:
+
+![alt text](swagger_endpoints.png)
+
+The result for a successful routing is a status 200:
+```json
+{
+  "message": "T-Route run successfully",
+  "lid": "CAGM7",
+  "feature_id": "2930769"
+}
+```
+
+and an internal 500 error if there is something wrong. 
+
+## Building and pushing to a container registry
+
+To ensure Replace and Route is using the correct version of T-Route, it is recommended a docker container be built, and then pushed to a registry (Dockerhub, GitHub Container Registry, etc). To do this manually for the GitHub container registry, the following commands should be used within a terminal.
+
+```shell
+docker login --username ${GH_USERNAME} --password ${GH_TOKEN} ghcr.io
+```
+- This command will log the user into the GitHub container registry using their credentials
+
+```shell
+docker build -t ghcr.io/NOAA-OWP/t-route/t-route-api:${TAG} -f docker/Dockerfile.troute_api
+```
+- This command builds the T-Route API container using a defined version `${TAG}`
+
+```shell
+docker push ghcr.io/NOAA-OWP/t-route/t-route-api:${TAG}
+```
+- This commands pushes the built T-Route API container to the NOAA-OWP/t-route container registry
+
+
+The following env variables are used:
+- `${GH_USERNAME}`
+  - your github username
+- `${GH_TOKEN}`
+  - your github access token
+- `${TAG} `
+  - the version tag
+  - ex: 0.0.2
+
+If you want to build this off a forked version, change the container registry (`/NOAA-OWP/t-route/`) to your user accounts container registry.
+
+## Testing:
+
+See `test/api/README.md` for testing information

+## Testing:
+
+### Set up Using a Dockerfile:
+
+To build the T-Route api from a dockerfile, you can use the following commands from the t-route root repo:
+
+```shell
+docker build -t troute_api -f docker/Dockerfile.troute_api .
+```
+
+```shell
+docker run -p 8000:8000   \
+--env-file docker/test_troute_api.env  \
+-v ${OUTPUT_VOLUME_SOURCE}:${OUTPUT_VOLUME_TARGET}  \
+-v ${DATA_VOLUME_SOURCE}:${DATA_VOLUME_TARGET}  \
+-v ${CORE_VOLUME_SOURCE}:${CORE_VOLUME_TARGET}  \
+-v ${TEST_SOURCE}:${TEST_TARGET}   troute_api
+```
+
+### Set up Docker Compose:
+
+Docker Compose uses a YAML file to configure docker containers and execution. To install compose, you can follow the examples on docker's docs: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/
+
+To run compose, you can use the following command from the root directory:
+
+```shell
+docker compose --env-file docker/test_troute_api.env -f docker/compose.yaml up --build
+```
+
+if you want to build a compose container to mimic what is used in RnR, you can run the following steps
+```shell
+docker compose --env-file docker/rnr_compose.env -f docker/compose.yaml up --build
+```
+
+#### Testing the RnR endpoint in the API: 
+The following folder contains data files that are to be used to test the T-Route FastAPI code within src/app
+
+1. Follow the steps above to build/run either the docker container, or docker compose
+2. visit `localhost:8000/docs` in your browser
+3. Enter the following parameters into the `/api/v1/flow_routing/v4` endpoint
+- lid=CAGM7
+- feature_id=2930769
+- hy_id=1074884
+- initial_start=0
+- start_time=2024-08-24T00:00:00
+- num_forecast_days=5
+4. Click execute
+5. A Status 201 code means the run ran, and test/api/data/troute_output will be populated in the `{lid}/` folder
+
+#### Testing the LowerColorado test cases through docker compose:
+1. Follow the steps above to build/run either the docker container, or docker compose
+2. visit `localhost:8000/docs` in your browser
+3. Execute the `/api/v1/flow_routing/v4/tests/LowerColorado` endpoint using the default parameter file path for LowerColorado_TX_v4 
+4. A Status 201 code means the run ran, and the defined yaml output will be populated
