Serverless IP Info API

API with GET only function to send in IPaddress and receive data about the IPAddress supplied.

Description

This project is a code challenge to create a serverless API with AWS Lambda, AWS APIGateway, and Terraform. The API is created in Golang, with a simple function to call IPinfo API to gather information about the IP address that was sent in with the GET request.

Getting Started

To send a API call you can submit from the browser, or use POSTman to make a GET request to the URL below.
