request&response

[NoorAhmd]

Hello all, after our group meeting yesterday and as per @Francisca - SM Manager request I am going to discuss a little about how we are going to request from URL and how to provide response.

exports.getCoinPrice = async () => {
    const url = 'https://api.gemini.com/v1/pubticker/btcusd'
    try {
        const response = await got(url, { responseType: 'json' })
            return response.body
    } catch (error) {
          throw new Error(error)
    }
}

and then use it as:

router.get("/price", async (req, res, next) => {
    try {
        const price = await getCoinPrice()
            res.status(200).json({price: price.last, volume: price.volume})
    } catch (error) {
        next(error)
    }
})

I have used got npm package for requesting from URL's and probably will use cron package for cron jobs.

Our response type will be the same for all URL's as {price: last price, volume: volume of exchange} and request might be different(sometimes) depending on the resources provided data.

We have a list of URL's provided by @dhakal0kushal and I will go over them to one by one and update you in comments below.

Okay. What about other features that needs to be analyzed?

So the response of this API request is going to be sent straight to the client?
