# Request Header Parser Microservice

Request Header Parser Microservice is the 2nd project for FreeCodeCamp *Back End Development and APIs* course. It returns a JSON that contains three headers

from a user request: **ip address**, **accept language** and **user agent**.

Everything **not** written by me has been cloned from [this GitHub repository](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-project-headerparser/).

The default README that comes with the cloned repository:

> This is the boilerplate for the Request Header Parser Microservice project. Instructions for building your project can be found at https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/apis-and-microservices/apis-and-microservices-projects/request-header-parser-microservice

Here is the solution I wrote for this project:

```

//My additions

app.get("/api/whoami", function(req, res)

{

  return res.json({

    ipaddress: req.ip,

    language: req.headers["accept-language"],

    software: req.headers["user-agent"],

  });

});

```
