vseguin / goboundingbox

Messing up in golang.

goboundingbox

Simple API providing the following methods:

• a GET request /id/<12345> where <12345> is the cartodb_id will return a JSON document including the cartodb_id requested, the name, the population and the point coordinates : ex :

curl -ks http://localhost:8080/id/744

{"cartodb_id": 744,
"name": "oriel",
"population": 2500,
"coordinates": [-80.643498,43.069946]
}

Installation

Ensure to run go get github.com/gorilla/mux and github.com/zemirco/couchdb that are dependencies for the API.

The file utils/locationparser.go is used to parse cities and save them in a CouchDB database, so you need to install CouchDB first. Also, set an environment variable as COUCHDB_URL with value such as http://127.0.0.1:5984/ to ensure it runs.

Finally, main executable is main.go.
