This repository contains a solution for an HNG Backend task one. The objective of the task was to create and host an API endpoint that takes two GET request query parameters: slack_name
and track
. The API should return specific information in JSON format, including Slack name, current day of the week, current UTC time, track, GitHub file URL, GitHub repo URL, and a success status code.
I successfully created the API, adhered to the specified JSON format, and ensured that it meets the acceptance criteria. The is solution is hosted at Here , and the code can be found in this repository.
