Create initial version of API that can be used to get data

[absolutedogy]

In order to get things started we need to set up the API that will be used for supplying the data to consumers.

Since the data ingest flow is working so far, and is being monitored to fully validate, we have data available that should be able to get supplied to consumers that might need it.

For this first iteration of the API it should meet the following criteria

1. Use the Postgresql database to check API keys
2. API keys will be manually issued to those who are to have beta access
3. API keys should limit the amount of requests per minute that can be made
4. This should be configured via the database entry for the issued API key
5. Deliver basic data queried from the meta data tables

The API should be built with Python and Fast API

Once ready it will be published to a new repository set to public so that it can be maintained by anyone
