API Project: freeCodeCamp Request Header Parser

This is my request header parser for freeCodeCamp's second API project. Demo is available on my site. You can also check out my other freeCodeCamp projects.

User Stories

It seems we're short on user stories, this is the only one this time:

• I can get the IP address, preferred languages (from header Accept-Language) and system infos (from header User-Agent) for my device.

Example Usage

[project_url]/api/whoami

Example output:

{
  "ipaddress": "86.205.25.192",
  "language": "en-GB",
  "software": "Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6"
}
