This application showcases how to make API requests server and client-side. For each API requests, responses are cached for 30 seconds and reused if there are future requests (e.g. due to a page reload). In addition, the client side refreshes at 1-minute intervals to refresh the data returned from the client-side API.
NOTE: Because this application is not deployed to a real host and is instead intended to be run on a local machine, the IP address is not propagated locally. For a client IP address to be propagated, an ISP has to forward the originating IP address to the remote server. As a result, locally the response is rate limited because it's a localhost based IP.
To set up this application, you must have Node.js installed on your machine. To learn more about how you can install Node.js, visit the official Node.js website here.
Once you have Node.js installed and you have cloned this repo, run the following command to install dependencies:
npm installTo run the app, you can just issue the following command from the repository root:
npm startIf you would like to make any changes or expand on the exercise, I welcome a pull request.
