This repository is the solution to the CUNY Tech Prep week 4 in-class project. The code contained here is meant to implement a zip code API using Express.js. The API has two main endpoints:
- localhost:8000/zip/:zipcode
- localhost:8000/city/:cityname
The first endpoint is used to request information based on zip code number, and the second for retrieving all the zip codes associated with a given city name.
To start the API locally, change directories into zip-code-api and run node app.js. Then, in a browser window, enter any of the two endpoints above. The API will respond appropriately if the zip code or city name is valid, otherwise a 404 code is returned in the response. For example:
- localhost:8000/zip/11377
- localhost:8000/city/WOODSIDE
note: for the city endpoint, the name of cities must be provided in all caps.
