Region

• 

  Sort earth regions

• 

  Get earth regions

Inspiration

We were working on a courier application that requires the world regions and then we noticed that the available APIs for the information were inaccurate or incomplete, so, we set out to build our own, with the goal of making it accessible for anyone who wishes to use it in their project.

What it does

You can get details of any country in the world and also sort the data by country, by state or by city.

How we built it

It was built with Lumen, a subset of Laravel framework based on PHP language. The APIs were written on the Postman interface using some of the available Postman tools.

Challenges we ran into

We are unable to save large responses from requests as examples. After you run a request on Postman, you can save the response from that request as an example. When the JSON response is too big, you get unable to save response, response too large. The message only comes in the desktop app, on the web app the message does not show up at all

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're able to provide data of regions of the universe for developers

What we learned

I learned how to write tests for APIs using Postman testing tools

What's next for Region

We made the codebase open source for people to contribute and the next target would be regions of the moon and regions of Mars.
