State Server Solution

With the state server, you can pass a set of coordinates and find out which state those coordinates fall into. There are no special libraries needed to run the application, just Python 2.7.5 or higher.

Using State Server

You can spawn a server instance by going to the root folder and doing the following:

$ ./state-server

With a second terminal you can issue a curl command:

$ curl -d "longitude=-77.036133&latitude=40.513799" http://localhost:8080/

Which in this instance return "Pennsylvania". If invalid data is passed or no state for the given coordinates is found, a 400 error is returned with a corresponding error message.

Testing

There are unit tests that go along with the state server. They can be run before starting the server by including the optional parameter "test" in state-server like so, or individually:

$ ./state-server test

or

$ python state_tests.py
