The project aims to expose an API that aggregates data from multiple external APIs, providing users with a unified interface to access diverse information. This is the backend application made to a "frontend" specifications. Comprehensive testing is performed, covering both API consumption and exposure. The project utilizes the mocking tool, Webmock, to simulate external API responses during testing. The API requires an authentication token for access. The project implements Basic Authentication to ensure secure access to the endpoints

To clone and set up the application, follow these steps:

Clone the repository to your local machine: git clone https://github.com/your-username/project-name.git

Install the following gems gem "rspec-rails" and gem "webmock" then run bundle install

Create and migrate the database: rails db:create and rails db:migrate

Run the server: rails server

To get an API key:

Create an account by making a POST request to /api/v1/users with the required user information.

After successful account creation, log in using the /api/v1/sessions endpoint with your credentials to obtain the API key.

Keep the API key secure and use it for future API requests.

1. Get Recipes by Country GET /api/v1/recipes?country=your-country
2. Get Learning Resources by Country GET /api/v1/learning_resources?country=your-country
3. Create a User Account POST /api/v1/users
4. Log In and Obtain API Key POST /api/v1/sessions
5. Add a Favorite Recipe POST /api/v1/favorites
6. Get User's Favorites GET /api/v1/favorites?api_key=your-api-key

Include your API key as a parameter in the request.

Keep your API key secure and use it for authorized requests.

Happy coding! 🚀
