Enables users to see their own and friends' positions in the BrightID graph

BrightID graph explorer

https://explorer.brightid.org

BrightID graph explorer enables users to see their own/friends position in BrightID graph.

It is a pure html/js web app without any server side code that uses different APIs to show BrightID graph to users. It uses:

• the officially hosted brightid graph from https://storage.googleapis.com/brightid-backups/brightid.json to render graph
• profile service from http://node.brightid.org/profile/ when users share their connection codes to load users brightid, name and profile picture
• brightid api from http://node.brightid.org/brightid/v4/users/{brightid} to fetch list of connections and groups for the user
• backup service from https://recovery.brightid.org/backups/{key1}/{key2} to load connections and groups names and photos from encrypted backup data

To avoid CORS related issues, the server that host explorer should use nginx as reverse proxy to access required apis on the same domain that index.html file is hosted. The following section can be added to the server configuration to achieve this.

location /backups/ {
        proxy_pass https://storage.googleapis.com/brightid-backups/;
}

location /storage/ {
        proxy_pass https://recovery.brightid.org/backups/;
}

location /profile/ {
        proxy_pass http://node.brightid.org/profile/;
}

location /api/ {
        proxy_pass http://node.brightid.org/brightid/;
}
