sport.db.starter - Build Your Own HTTP JSON API (Go Edition)

The sportdb web service starter sample lets you build your own HTTP JSON API using the football.db, worldcup.db, ski.db, formulal1.db, etc.

Getting Started

Step 1: Build yourself a binary using go. Type:

$ go build -o server server.go app.go database_structs.go database_finders.go

Step 2: Copy an SQLite database e.g. football.db into your folder.

Step 3: Startup the web service (HTTP JSON API). Type:

$ ./server

That's it. Open your web browser and try some services running on your machine on port 9292 (e.g. localhost:9292). Example:

List all events:

• http://localhost:9292/events

List all English Premier League 2014/15 teams:

• http://localhost:9292/event/en.2014_15/teams

And so on. Now change the sources to fit your needs. Be bold. Enjoy.
