lemccarthy / cbioportal-analytics Goto Github PK

This service is more or less a proxy to the Google Analytics API so that the metrics for cBioportal may be made public.

There is not much to configuring this server. It needs three environmental variable set:

• VIEW_ID, which corresponds to the ID of the analytics View.
• PORT, the port the server should listen on.
• CBIO_ORIGIN, the origin URL that the cbioportal frontend is going to be making requests from.

You need to create a service account, add the service account as a user on the analytics project, and then download the JSON keyfile from Google. Then, simply place the keyfile inside /src and rename it to keyFile.json

Run: npm install && npm run start to deploy the server
