Countries

A very simple micro-service for supplying country information

Running

It's very simple to build and run using docker

• Building

This is optional, as you can use the currently published docker version

docker build -t lsmoura/countries .

• Running

docker run --rm -d -p 3000:3000 lsmoura/countries

After issuing the command above, you can start making queries

Using

Just do HTTP calls to the microservice. There is no database nor authentication needed. Everything needed is loaded into memory when the container is started.

• Retrieve every country

curl http://localhost:3000/

• Retrieve a single country by "alpha2"

curl http://localhost:3000/ca

• Retrieve a single country by "alpha3"

curl http://localhost:3000/usa

• Retrieve a single country by "numeric code"

curl http://localhost:3000/76
