# SB_Runscope2Spark
Forwards Alert requests from RunScope to Spark

## Purpose

This application is a simple Runscope Alert / [Cisco Spark](https://developer.ciscospark.com/) Bot App built in Python [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/). This app is meant to be deployed to AWS Lambda to be served serverlessly using the [Zappa Framework](https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa)

## Pre-Requirements

* [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) on your computer
* [Python 3.6+](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
* Runscope.com account
> Runscope is a service that allows you monitor and test your APIs from an outsider perspective
* Some knowledge of Python
* Cisco Spark Developer Account and a Bot token.
* AWS CLI and AWS creds - `pip install awscli --upgrade --user`
> Use the following guide to configure your [AWS CLI](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html).
* Zappa - `pip install zappa`
* VirtualEnv - `pip install virtualenv`
