question about an API you're using #1

hey,

random question. i came across your project while searching the internet for various way to get planting zone info from a users submitted zipcode, particularly frost dates is what im after. i noticed you're sending off the zone ID you get from the https://phzmapi.org/ api (which im also using in my project) and sending it to this https://tranquil-taiga-06770.herokuapp.com/guides/zone-information api and its returning additional information like frost dates. my question is, is that an API you found or did you build it yourself? if you built it would you have any resources you might be able to point me to that would help me out with creating my own version of that?

i know this is long shot, but figured id ask.

ive been building a similar project for my wife so she can track all her plants and your solution for getting that additional zone info works pretty well.

thanks!

Hey there!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a decent gardening API, so I did create the API for my project. I used a lot of information from https://www.burpee.com/ regarding for the planting requirements and I think I pulled the frost dates from this site https://morningchores.com/frost-dates/.

Cheers!
