To request data from the microservice, use zmq to connect to the /localhost:5555. Make sure the socket is of the zmq.REQ type. The message should be a string separated by a single space, with the first being the number of flashcards in the deck and the second being a float of the time of the quiz's start.

Example Call of the Microservice:

To receive data back from the microservice use the socket to receive a string back from the microservice. The return value will be a string of integers with the elapsed time in seconds, the average time per flashcard, and the time elapsed in minutes all separated by spaces.

Example Time String Format: f"{flash_cards} {start_time}"

Example Response Format: f"{elapsed_time} {average_time} {minutes}"
