I just completed Stage 0 of the Backend Wizards track! 🚀
I built a simple REST API using Node.js/Express that returns my profile data along with a random cat fact 🐱 from an external API.
- Fetches real-time data
- Returns current UTC timestamp
- Handles API failures gracefully
- Deployed on Railway
Live API: https://backend-wizards-profile-production.up.railway.app/me
GitHub Repo: https://github.com/EmmaAtom00/Backend-Wizards-Profile
This task taught me how to:
- Work with external APIs using Axios
- Handle errors gracefully
- Format consistent JSON responses
- Deploy to production using Railway
