麒麟测试网 api

At Qraft Technologies, we’ve been refactoring our data-driven API service, Kirin API. Kirin API was initially developed by AI Research team providing different kinds of financial datas integrated with many other widely used database, covering corporate market data such as S&P Global’s Compustat database, Thomson Reuters’ Datastream and economic macro datas like FRED or Quandl APIs at one endpoint.

在Qraft Technologies，我们一直在重构数据驱动的API服务Kirin API。 麒麟API最初由AI Research团队开发，提供了与其他许多广泛使用的数据库集成的不同种类的财务数据，涵盖公司市场数据(例如S＆P Global的Compustat数据库，汤姆森路透的数据流)和经济宏数据(例如FRED或Quandl API)在一个端点。

As the demands of this project grows internally and externally, it has expanded into a commercial project from an internal pilot project, in charge of my (Research Platform) team into highly scalable and available service that can handle more traffics and more client.

随着该项目的需求在内部和外部的增长，它已经从内部的试验项目扩展到了商业项目，该项目由我的研究平台团队负责，成为可扩展的，可用的服务，可以处理更多的流量和更多的客户。

数据流 (Data Flow)

We started from the most simple architecture as the diagram below.Different kinds of financial datas are loaded in different databases and back-end layer layers provides different APIs to the clients. In our case, the client-side is the utility library that provides interface to python to call the API, and we have a roadmap to support other programming languages or platforms in the future.

我们从最简单的架构开始，如下图所示。不同种类的财务数据加载到不同的数据库中，后端层为客户端提供了不同的API。 在我们的例子中，客户端是实用程序库，它提供python调用API的接口，并且我们有一个路线图来支持将来的其他编程语言或平台。

There are some major problems with this architecture.Majority of end-point users are in-house python developers working on internally. However this requirement eventually would change to support not just Python but different interfaced clients such as R lanaguage or an Excel plugin to load data in spreadsheets. Another concern is the maintainence issue to support different versions of client inter
