FastAPI RediSearch Products

This project is designed to generate thousands of fake products, store them in a CSV file, and later index them using RediSearch for efficient searching. Additionally, a FastAPI-based API is provided to manually register products in RediSearch and search for products by description.

How it works

1. Generating Fake Products

• The script creates thousands of fake product entries.
• These entries are stored in a CSV file for later indexing.

2. Indexing in RediSearch

• The generated products can be indexed in RediSearch for fast retrieval.
• A FastAPI endpoint allows manual addition of products to RediSearch.

3. Searching for Products

• The FastAPI application provides an endpoint to search for products by description.
• RediSearch enables efficient full-text search over the indexed products.

How to run the project

1. Build the Docker Image

First, navigate to the root directory of the project where the docker-compose.yaml file is located. Then, build and start the container using the following command:

docker-compose up --build

This will build the image and start the API application inside a container.

2. Access the API

Once the container is running, the API application will be available at:

http://localhost:8400/docs

Generate indexed products

1. Activate the virtual environment:

source .venv/bin/activate

2. Generating Fake Products
