Rent Index API Server

This is an Express-based API server for querying residential status based on rent index data. The server interfaces with an SQLite database and provides an endpoint to retrieve the residential status for specific streets, years, and house numbers.

Setup

First, clone the repository and navigate into the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/dot-studio-code/mietspiegel-api
cd mietspiegel-api

Then, install the required dependencies:

yarn install

Configuration

Create a .env file in the root directory of your project and specify your custom settings. For example:

PORT=3000

Running the Server

To start the server, run:

yarn start

This will launch the server on the port specified in your .env file or 3000 if none is specified. API Usage

The server offers the following endpoint: GET /:rentIndexYear/residentialStatus
