Comic Relief Engineer Code Test

Your task is to create an API endpoint that an API user can submit a postcode to, which will return a list of potential addresses enhanced with latitudes and longitudes.

You can find an example of how the end result might function here: https://poqr2v25cb.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/postcode/SE17TP

You may add your own formatting, styles, etc. to the output, change error handling, etc.

As part of your solution, you will need to send a GET request to our postcode lookup API to get the list of addresses:

https://lookups.sls.comicrelief.com/postcode/lookup/SE17TP

You will then need to send a GET request to the postcodes.io API to retrieve latitudes and longitudes:

https://api.postcodes.io/postcodes/SE17TP

You will then need to join the latitude and longitude data onto the address list, and return the enhanced list to the user.

Prerequisites

You'll need to have the following software installed:

Local development

Clone the repo and then install dependencies by running

yarn install

To run the service locally, use the following command:

serverlesss offline start

You can then visit the following URL in your browser to test the response:

http://localhost:3001/postcode/SE17TP

Submission

To submit your solution:

  • Create a private Github Repository that contains your code
  • Invite corinja, seb-cr and KrupaPammi as contributors
  • Email [email protected] to let us know when you've finished
  • If you're ok to share screen during the interview that's good, alternatively if you can host this somewhere that's also good
  • Please reach out to me with any questions!
