export DB_USERNAME="############"
export DB_PASSWORD="############"
export FLASK_ENV=development

# to run on port 5000
flask run
# or to run on port of your choice
flask run -h localhost -p 5001

You will also need to have postgres installed and running. Create a database called postgres and install the PostGIS extension That db name is defined in each endpoint currently... Need to have a schema called api and within that a table called lgas Currently this table is imported from the shapefile available here: https://www.olg.nsw.gov.au/public/find-my-council/local-government-area-boundaries-and-mapping-information/

Please download the shapefile and use the commandline tool shp2pgsql to upload it as a table to your database.

Notes

To get all lgas can do

http://localhost:5000/lgas

To get one LGA for a provided lat and lng can do http://127.0.0.1:5000/lga?lat=-29.123&lng=149.694
