Backend challenge

Overview

Indego is a bike sharing program launched in Philadelphia. A design company in the city created a challenge for developers. The task was to build an app that saves the results from the bicycle API to a MongoDB database at a specific interval. The data can be queried via 3 APIs:

• Snapshot of all stations at a specified time

• Snapshot of one station at a specific time

• Snapshots of one station over a range of times

• app.get /api/v1/stations

Snapshot of one station at a specific time

• app.get /api/v1/station/:id

Snapshots of one station over a range of times

• app.get /api/v1/stations/:id
