June 2026 — Peviitor API (peviitor-ro/api) Key features delivered: - API data model alignment and endpoint schema improvements: align the random job endpoint with the Job Model Schema; rename fields, add missing ones, remove redundant fields; cleanup search index structure; document endpoint requirements. Specific changes included: job_title -> title, city/county -> location, remote -> workmode, job_link -> url; added salary, tags, cif, date, status; removed redundant id (md5 hash). - Search index cleanup: removed job_link and id fields from search index to reduce drift and simplify queries. - Database cleanup endpoint (admin safeguards and docs): implemented a production-grade DELETE endpoint for removing all job records from Solr with strict authentication and robust error handling; added corresponding documentation and localization notes for the empty endpoint. - Documentation, branding, and localization enhancements: improved API docs structure with collapsible sections; updated branding (new logo and SVG handling); localization enhancements including default language, Romanian toggle, and complete i18n key coverage. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed data drift between the Job Model and random endpoint by aligning field names and removing obsolete fields in the search index and endpoint responses. - Hardened the cleanup workflow by enforcing production-only authentication for destructive operations and clarifying error handling paths in the docs. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased API consistency and reliability across endpoints, improved data integrity in search and indexing, and safer production operations for critical data cleanup tasks. Enhanced developer experience through better docs, branding, and localization, enabling faster integration for international teams. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - API design and data modeling, search index management with Solr, production-grade authentication and error handling, documentation tooling and localization (i18n), and branding/assets integration.
