## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Chinese Poetry API on Railway

[Chinese Poetry API](https://github.com/palemoky/chinese-poetry-api) is a ready-to-run API server over the open chinese-poetry corpus: Tang and Song poems, authors, dynasties and search, with built-in IP rate limiting.

## About Hosting Chinese Poetry API

This template runs the official `palemoky/chinese-poetry-api:latest` image. The poetry data ships inside the image, so there is nothing to configure. The API listens on Railway's `PORT` and `/api/v1/health` returns its status; `/api/v1/stats` shows corpus counts.

## Common Use Cases

- Serve poems and authors to a website, bot or learning app
- Random-poem widgets and daily quotes
- Full-text search over classical Chinese literature

## Dependencies for Chinese Poetry API Hosting

- One service; nothing else

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Chinese Poetry API on GitHub](https://github.com/palemoky/chinese-poetry-api)
- [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/palemoky/chinese-poetry-api)

## Why Deploy Chinese Poetry API on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL and automatic restarts with no server to maintain. The API is public and read-only; open `/api/v1/health` after the deploy to confirm it is up.
