EmergencyAPI

An API written in Swift for the world emergency phone numbers. The API is visible here: http://emergency-phone-numbers.herokuapp.com/

Usage

The API is used to perform the following operations:

• Request all the available countries data
• Request a specific country data given the 2-letter country code (such as US for United States, CH for Switzerland, etc.)
• Request the flag image given the 2-letter country code.

Documentation

GET /

By performing a GET request directly to the base URL, you will receive a JSON file like this:

{
 "content":[
			{
			 "name":"Switzerland",
			 "code":"CH",
			 "police":"112",
	 		 "medical":"144",
	 		 "fire":"118"
	  	 	},
	 		{
	 		 "name":"Italy",
	 		 "code":"IT",
	 		 "police":"112",
	 		 "medical":"118",
	 		 "fire":"115"
	 		 }
	 		],
 "version":0.1
}

The version value is a number representing the current version of the data. More versions may be released in the future with improved numbers and added countries. The content value is an array of dictionaries containing the country data:

• name: name of the country
• code: 2-letter country code
• fire: firefighters phone number
• police: police phone number
• medical: medical phone number

GET /country/

Perform a GET request in this format /country/{2-letter country code} by passing a valid country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format) to receive the emergency phone numbers for the specified country. If the country code is not found in the database, the API returns an error like this:

{"error": "No country found with the given 2-letter country code CHH"}

If the request is succesfful, the response is something like this:

{
 "code":"CH",
 "fire":"118",
 "police":"112",
 "name":"Switzerland",
 "medical":"144"
}

GET/images/

Performs a GET request in this format /images/{2-letter country code}.jpg by passing a valid country code to receive the flag image for the specified country. The request /images/CH.jpg will return the Switzerland flag for example.

Implementation

This project is based on the great web framework for Swift Vapor.
