API Project: Timestamp Microservice

User Stories :

  1. The API endpoint is GET [project_url]/api/timestamp/:date_string?
  2. A date string is valid if can be successfully parsed by new Date(date_string).
    Note that the unix timestamp needs to be an integer (not a string) specifying milliseconds.
    In our test we will use date strings compliant with ISO-8601 (e.g. "2016-11-20") because this will ensure an UTC timestamp.
  3. If the date string is empty it should be equivalent to trigger new Date(), i.e. the service uses the current timestamp.
  4. If the date string is valid the api returns a JSON having the structure
    {"unix": <date.getTime()>, "utc" : <date.toUTCString()> }
    e.g. {"unix": 1479663089000 ,"utc": "Sun, 20 Nov 2016 17:31:29 GMT"}
  5. If the date string is invalid the api returns a JSON having the structure
    {"unix": null, "utc" : "Invalid Date" }. It is what you get from the date manipulation functions used above.

Example Usage:

Example Output:

{"unix":1451001600000, "utc":"Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT"}

API Project: Request Header Parser Microservice

User Story:

1. I can get the IP address, preferred languages (from header Accept-Language)
and system infos (from header User-Agent) for my device.

Example Usage:

[base url]/api/whoami

Example Output:

{"ipaddress":"::ffff:159.20.14.100","language":"en-US,en;q=0.5",

API Project: URL Shortener Microservice

User Story:

  1. I can POST a URL to [project_url]/api/shorturl/new and I will receive a shortened URL in the JSON response.
    Example : {"original_url":"www.google.com","short_url":1}
  2. If I pass an invalid URL that doesn't follow the http(s)://www.example.com(/more/routes) format, the JSON response will contain an error like {"error":"invalid URL"}
    HINT: to be sure that the submitted url points to a valid site you can use the function dns.lookup(host, cb) from the dns core module.
  3. When I visit the shortened URL, it will redirect me to my original link.
