restedancestor is a pretty simple REST API,
that delivers quotes from Darkest Dungeon's Narrator, named Ancestor,
in JSON format.
restedancestor is currently online at
https://restedancestor.herokuapp.com,
skip to the
Routes
section to see how you can consume the API.
restedancestor's master branch can be used
to deploy a local copy for development,
testing or for whatever fits your needs.
You can either download a binary or compile it yourself,
either way follow the instructions below.
restedancestor supports Linux, Windows and Mac, but you need
to compile it yourself since the project uses CGO,
cross-compiling can't be enabled.
Requires Go to be installed on your machine. You can install Go from here.
Once installed, and with a correctly configured GOPATH, on terminal type:
$ go get github.com/bruno-chavez/restedancestor
Then go to:
$GOPATH/src/github.com/bruno-chavez/restedancestor
And last, on a terminal type:
$ make install
Once installed and depending on how you installed the API you should see a message like this:
$ restedancestor
Welcome to restedancestor, the API is running in a maddening fashion!
The Ancestor is waiting and listening on port 8080 of localhost
You can communicate with the API in various ways,
for example going to your browser and typing on your search
bar localhost:8080, followed by one of the routes listed on
the Routes section.
If successful you should see something like this:
There are more complete ways of doing requests to the API, and choosing one depends completely on preference, if you like Desktop Apps Postman is a pretty powerful tool, prefer web tools? check Hurl it, like CLI apps? HTTPie is good enough for the job.
