Finances

Finances is Execute Big's handler for accessing finance-related information. It is a part of our commitment to achieve 100% financial transparency.

Execute Big runs on Mercury. This service interacts with the Mercury API. Data is stored on Airtable.

Development

1. Clone this repo.

2. Acquire a copy of the required environment variables from Execute Big.

   • Unless you are contributing to the syncing engine between Mercury and Airtable, a Mercury API key is not required, and you can replace it with a random string for the time being.
   • You will need a redacted copy of our Airtable data. Please acquire a template Airtable base by reaching out to us.
   • You may skip over the admin dashboard's OAuth login locally by removing the isUserAuthenticated middleware from the admin router. If prompted for API keys before running, simply use a random string as a placeholder.
   • Always use a read-only Mercury key. You may need to be IP whitelisted (if you do not have a stable IP address, let us know so we can help tunneling you through our server).

3. Update PORT to 3000 and HOST to http://localhost:3000 or whatever you prefer your development server to be running on.

4. Run yarn start. Have fun!

Notes

• /api/stats is an API endpoint used by the dashboard itself and our donation to retrieve current financial data. It should always be calculating real-time numbers.
