uniatcu

how do you use this site?

the url to use is http://uniatcu.herokuapp.com/

also, i made the homepage redirect here. be sure to make requests to the right paths

it's RESTful, so just make a GET request to it

API

Get info about a particular uni

path: /info

params: uni

e.g. uniatcu.herokuapp.com/info?uni=zjn2101

that's zach's uni. he's super cool.

response:

{
   "data": {
    "department": "computer science", 
    "email": "zjn2101@columbia.edu", 
    "home addr": "514 special interest community", 
    "name": "Zachary James Newman", 
    "title": "student, columbia college", 
    "uni": "zjn2101"
  }
}

See if a uni exists or not

path: /exists

params: uni

e.g. uniatcu.herokuapp.com/exists?uni=zjn2101

response:

{
  "exists" : "true"
}

Errors

sometimes you get an error. here's some info and how to help.

e.g.

{
  "error": "length is too short"
}

cheat sheet

"please enter uni" - you didn't enter the param "uni" properly

"length is too short" - it must be at least 5 characters

"person not found" - he's not in the database. you lose.
