open-api
This project is currently being refactored, performance and API will be unstable.
About
open-api is a graphQL API that will serve multiple purposes:
- serve the frontend of freeCodeCamp
- an implementation of the freeCodeCamp's open-data policy
- allow developers to build applications around the freeCodeCamp's eco-system and its open data sets

Updating certificates
Tokens are verified using public keys, each tennant will have their own certificate containing the public key.
Certificates are stored either on developer laptops in .env files, or in an environment variable
JWT_CERT for depoloyments. We use Travis for deployments, and scripts/deploy.sh
will pick either JWT_CERT_STAGE or JWT_CERT_PROD and export it as JWT_CERT. This
will be picked up and deployed by Serverless.
Certificates are base64 encoded to prevent encoding issues. This works around the fact that Travis uses Bash to export environment variables, which causes issues with newlines and other characters have a special meaning in shells.
To add a new certificate, download it as a .pem file, and base64 encode it. Use yarn encode-file if you want a
convenient script:
▶ yarn encode-file ~/Downloads/freecodecamp-dev.pem
yarn run v1.6.0
$ node scripts/base64encode.js /Users/ojongerius/Downloads/freecodecamp-dev.pem
