A basic REST API for geo locations around given GPS cordinates. This was made for a small class project.

The project is a Java based API and uses GPS coordinates to provide a list of points of interest around any given GPS coordinates. All the points so far have been extracted from Wikipedia articles. The API also supports adding a given point to the database through create method. The info is returned in a json format.

The project needs mongodb and Java Installed to run. To install mongodb on ubuntu

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu "$(lsb_release -sc)"/mongodb-org/3.0

multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
