Live endpoint

This REST API is deployed to Netlify functions and the database of choice is Postgres (Supabase). Reason for choosing them is that they have generous free tiers.

Identify POST endpoint - https://identity-reconciliation-test.netlify.app/api/identify

Postman collection

To run locally

Requirements

• Node >16.0 (Should work in 14, although netlify binaries are recommended to be run on 16 and above)
• Postgres service running (either as a stand-alone process or a docker image)
• netlify executable installed. This can be installed with npm i -g netlify. The API is deployed as a Netlify function (for demo purposes therefore, you need the netlify binaries to execute the functions). For more information on how the API is hosted and redirected, check out the netlify.toml file

---

1. Create a .env file that would contains 2 variables as below

DIRECT_URL="postgresql://<postgres_username>:<postgres_password>@localhost:5432/identity-reconciliation?schema=public"

DATABASE_URL="postgresql://<postgres_username>:<postgres_password>@localhost:5432/identity-reconciliation?schema=public"

Replace the postgres_username with the actual username. Same with the postgres_password param in the url

2. Run netlify dev. You will receive the localhost run-time to test out the functions. Further testing of the endpoints can be done using Postman or the browser
