mercury-parser-api-gcf is a reïmplementation of the Mercury Parser API for Google Cloud Function instead of AWS Lambda, without the confusing-to-me serverless layer. Unlike the full Mercury Parser API implementation, this only includes the parser endpoint, which is mounted as /mercuryParser.

This function assumes you want to hide the API behind a static API key that is determined at function deploy time. To install, you'll need gcloud CLI that has access to the GCP project under which you want the function to be deployed.

1. Clone this repository locally.

2. Create a new secrets.yaml file in the current directory containing:

MASTER_MERCURY_API_KEY: 'TheKey'

where TheKey may be any string that will be your API key. The API key would need to be passed in as the X-Api-Key HTTP header in all requests against the function.

3. Run npm install to download dependencies.

4. Run make deploy.
