Note : I am using Render.com for deployment and I am using the free tier. So it gets spindown with inactivity,
which can delay requests by 50 seconds or more.So please wait for 50 seconds for getting to initial request
and then it will work fine. Sorry for this issue.

NOTE: You can use the /api-docs to try the api -> Link to Api Documentation

Create a .env file in the root directory and add your database configuration:

env

DB_NAME=your_db_name
DB_USER=your_db_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password
DB_HOST=your_db_host
DB_PORT=your_db_port
DB_DIALECT=postgres

Make sure your database is created and then run the migrations:

npx sequelize-cli db:migrate

npm run dev

The server will start on http://localhost:3000.

To test the API locally, you can use a tool like Postman or curl.

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/identify -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"email":"[email protected]", "phoneNumber":"123456"}'

1. Open Postman.
2. Create a new POST request.
3. Set the URL to http://localhost:3000/api/identify.
4. Set the Content-Type header to application/json.
5. In the body, use raw JSON format to send the request:

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "phoneNumber": "123456"
}
