Backend Setup

The backend is a Django 5.1 application using Django REST Framework for the API layer.

Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

This installs Django, DRF, Celery, spaCy, PyTorch, Transformers, and other required packages. The full dependency list is in requirements.txt.

Note

The torch and transformers packages are large. The initial install may take several minutes.

Download spaCy Model

The French NLP model is required for keyword extraction:

python -m spacy download fr_core_news_sm

Run Migrations

python manage.py migrate

This creates the necessary database tables in your Supabase PostgreSQL instance.

Start the Development Server

python manage.py runserver

The API will be available at http://localhost:8000. You can verify it's running by visiting http://localhost:8000/api/.

Celery Worker

AI analysis tasks run asynchronously through Celery with Redis as the message broker:

# Start Redis (separate terminal)
redis-server

# Start Celery worker (separate terminal)
celery -A config worker --loglevel=info
