Where is the database ?

[lucasvv117]

Hello, I am kind of new to using APIs, but where is the data source ?
I mean I get how we can get it using the API, but from where do we get the data ?
Other question, what request do we need to get the list of all the match of the word cup ?

@lucasvv117 you can call the api and get the data
Data source is not exposed to the users
To get the list of matches you can call
Http Metod : GET http://api.cup2022.ir/api/v1/match
A request on Matches endpoint returns all Matches information

To call the API from your application/client refer to
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API
https://axios-http.com/docs/intro

Before making these calls do read the https://github.com/raminmr/free-api-worldcup2022#readme
It solves most of the doubts

If I understood you correctly, reading the data requires some technical skills (for example: .Net) by creating an httpclient and proceeding with the rest of the steps and deserialization.

Yes that is correct, although you can also interact with it by using an API Platform like Postman
