APIs Workshop

This repository contains two implementations of a simple API for the "Say Hello to APIs" workshop. Both implementations demonstrate the same functionality, one using Python with Flask and the other using Node.js with Express.

API Features

1. Health Check Endpoint

   • Verifies if the server is running.

2. Get Drinks Endpoint

   • Retrieves a list of drinks or filters drinks based on a query parameter.

3. Add Drink Endpoint

   • Allows adding a new drink by sending JSON data in a POST request.

4. Restricted Access Endpoint

   • Simulates restricted access with a 403 Forbidden response.

Prerequisites

• For Python Flask: Python 3.7 or higher
• For Node.js Express: Node.js v14 or higher

Quick Start Guide

Run the Python Flask API

1. Navigate to the py-api directory:

   cd py-api

2. Follow the instructions in py-api/README.md to set up and run the Flask API.

Run the Node.js Express API

1. Navigate to the js-api directory:

   cd js-api

2. Follow the instructions in js-api/README.md to set up and run the Express API.

Testing the APIs

• Use tools like curl or Postman to test the APIs.
• Endpoints for both APIs are identical, ensuring consistent demonstration across platforms.
