In this project i built a rest API with python and flask, I first scraped and cleaned country data online. Then stored the data in a PostgreSQL database, I've made the data available with an api. Using the api you can access countries info like: name, capital, population, area size, country code and country iso code.
Finally I made a country fun fact table where you can add a fun fact about any country using a POSTrequest, or edit/update the fun fact with a PUT request.
Will be hosting this api online soon, in the meantime you can download it and run it locally by following the steps bellow.
