This API is an exercises that should contain:

• An endpoint for reading from an external API
  • Write the information in a CSV file
• An endpoint for reading the CSV
  • Display the information as a JSON
• An endpoint for reading the CSV concurrently with some criteria (details below)
• Unit testing for the principal logic
• Follow conventions, best practices
• Clean architecture
• Go routines usage
• Authentication token to use as header in all endpoints

External API used: Pokemon

Usage examples for this API.

Running server:

go run main.go
