Timezone Rest API

Description

Small webserver that can deliver timezone information for geo coordinates. For example, you can request this resource:

http://localhost:8080/api?lng=52.517932&lat=13.402992

And, the service will respond with a json:

{
  "name": "Europe/Berlin",
  "id": "CEST",
  "offset": 7200
}

name is the common name for the timezone. id is the short identifier. offset is the difference in seconds to UTC.

How to use

This project based on the new go modules. So you only need go >= 1.11. Change in project folder and call go build to build the binaries or go run main.go to start the application directly.

Docker

docker run -p8080:8080 racemap/tz-service

If you want to build the container yourself, change to the project folder and run docker build -t tz-service .. To start the container after build run docker run -p 8080:8080 tz-service.
