best-restaurant-backend

Get information about restaurants from Zomato API

Description

The backend was developed in Node (v10.16.2) and deployment of application was done in Heroku.

• Deploy available at Backend
• I chose to use node-geocoder with Here to consult any address and get the latitude and longitude.

Features available:

• Categories get a simple categories list of restaurants.
• Best Near Restaurants(example of New York City) get information of the best restaurants from anywhere you want.

In the case of the route Best Near Restaurants you need to pass the some address as a paramter like "best_near?place=New York City"
