  • Who are ya? is a microservice that does one thing, and one thing only. The index page demonstrates how to call the API.

    Visiting the API endpoint will return a JSON object containing:

    • the ip address the request came from
    • the language the request was referred in
    • the software used to make the request

    That is all it does. The microservice is written in javascript using express.js (as well as a tiny bit of html and css of course).

    A working demonstration is hosted at Heroku, and you can visit it and try it out using the visit website button at the top of this page. The code is hosted at Github and you can visit this using the github button, also at the top of this page.
