+# Geolocation using API Gateway
+
+API Gateway requests go through CloudFront, and they will contain a few useful analytic headers, including the geo-location country
+where the request originated. This is a simple example that shows how to read out the country header and use it in your API.
+
+## Get started
+
+* run `npm init` to install the dependencies
+* run `npm run create` to deploy this project to AWS
+* grab the URL printed as the result, and GET it using CURL or paste into a browser
