Locate Numbers

Welcome to the locate-numbers README.md, if you're reading this you're probably interested in working as a developer at PerfectPitchTech. We're excited to meet you, but first we have fun coding challenge for you to complete.

Rules

• DO NOT make a pull request back to this repository with your solution (otherwise other people can see your solution).
• Your solution needs to be written in Python. Feel free to use any Python libraries or frameworks you feel are appropriate. (Docker solutions will have bound points!)

Requirements

We have two tasks for you,

1. Write an API that get the location of each number from a CSV file using Libphone numbers library. We provide the numbers.csv in this repo, please generate and output.csv and include it in your solution.
2. Write an API that get a closest phone number based on another phone number

After that please write a simple markdown file with some ideas about how you can improve the process time since the libphone library is quite slow.

Example Input

numbers
[phone]
[phone]
[phone]
...

Example Output

numbers, valid, location
[phone], false, n/a
[phone], false, n/a
[phone], false, Los Angeles, CA
...

Task 1 Example cURL command

curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "numbers=@numbers.csv" http://localhost:9000/locate_numbers

Task 2 Example cURL command

curl http://localhost:9000/locate_numbers?number=[phone]

Result could be [phone], since [phone] and [phone] are a Los Angeles phone number.

Finished?

Please send your code, the markdown with the improvements and the output csv in a git repository to your contact at PerfectPitchTech and we'll be in touch with your from there. Thanks and happy coding.
