This repository contains a solution for an HNG Backend task one. The objective of the task was to create and host an API endpoint that takes two GET request query parameters: slack_name and track. The API should return specific information in JSON format, including Slack name, current day of the week, current UTC time, track, GitHub file URL, GitHub repo URL, and a success status code.
I successfully created the API, adhered to the specified JSON format, and ensured that it meets the acceptance criteria. The is solution is hosted at Here , and the code can be found in this repository.
