Sepomex
Sepomex is a REST API that maps all the data from the current zip codes in Mexico. You can get the CSV or Excel files from the official site
We build this API in order to provide a way to developers query the zip codes, states and municipalities across the country.
Table of contents
Quick start
The base URI to start consuming the JSON response is under:
http://sepomex.icalialabs.com/api/v1/zip_codes
There are currently 145,481
records on the database which were extracted from the CSV file included in the project.
Records are paginated with 15 records per page.
Running the project
Pending. Here will be the instructions to run the project with Docker. TBD
Querying the API
We currently provide 4 kind of resources:
- Zip Codes: http://sepomex.icalialabs.com/zip_codes
- States: http://sepomex.icalialabs.com/states
- Municipalities: http://sepomex.icalialabs.com/municipalities
- Cities: http://sepomex.icalialabs.com/cities
Items per page
The 4 resources you can query are paginated with 15 items per page by default. You can change the number of items per page by adding the per_page
parameter to the query string.
### ZipCodes
In order to provide more flexibility to search a zip code, whether is by city, colony, state or zip code you can now send multiple parameters to make the appropiate search. You can fetch the:
### ZipCodes
```bash
curl -X GET https://sepomex.icalialabs.com/api/v1/zip_codes?per_page=200
You can't request more than 200 items per page, if you do so, the API will return 15 items per page.
Also, you can mix the per_page
parameter with the page
parameter to get the desired page, even with the search parameters.
curl -X GET https://sepomex.icalialabs.com/api/v1/zip_codes?per_page=200&page=2

About pagination
The structure of a paged response is:
"meta": {
"pagination": {
"per_page": 15,
"total_pages": 9728,
"total_objects": 145906,
"links": {
"first": "/zip_code?page=1",
"last": "/zip_code?page=9728",
"prev": "/zip_code?page=1",
"next": "/zip_code?page=3"
}
}
}
Where:
per_page
is the amount of elements per page.total_pages
is the total number of pages.total_objects
is the total objects of all pages.links
contains links for pages.first
is the url for the first page.last
is the url for the last page.prev
is the url for the previous page.next
is the url for the next page.
Development
Setup the project
To setup the project please follow this simple steps:
- Clone this repository into your local machine:
$ git clone git@github.com:IcaliaLabs/sepomex.git
- Change directory into the project folder:
$ cd sepomex
- Run the web service in bash mode to get inside the container by using the following command:
$ docker-compose run web bash
- Inside the container you need to migrate the database:
$ rails db:migrate
- Next you should populate the database:
$ rake data:load
This operation will take some time, due to the number of records. Rake data load will load the data from the csv files into the database, like seed does. Also, it will create the indexes for the database.
- Close the container
$ exit
Running the project
- Fire up a terminal and run:
$ docker-compose up
Once you see an output like this:
web_1 | The Gemfile's dependencies are satisfied
web_1 | 2020/08/04 17:40:21 Waiting for: tcp://postgres:5432
