This document provides comprehensive examples demonstrating how to use the microservice APIs. All examples show real request/response patterns to validate that the system works as intended.
http://localhost:3000
Currently, the MVP does not implement authentication (as per challenge requirements). In production, these endpoints would be secured with API keys or JWT tokens.
Purpose: Get comprehensive aggregated data for a specific user
GET /users/{userId}/aggregatesExample Request:
curl -X GET "http://localhost:3000/users/074092/aggregates" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"Example Response:
{
"userId": "074092",
"balance": 1450.75,
"earned": 3200.50,
"spent": 1500.25,
"payout": 250.00,
"paidOut": 249.50,
"lastUpdated": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z"
}Response Fields Explanation:
balance: Current available balance (earned - spent - pending payouts)earned: Total amount earned from all transactionsspent: Total amount spent in all transactionspayout: Total amount requested for payout (pending)paidOut: Total amount already paid out to userlastUpdated: Timestamp of last aggregation update
Error Responses:
# User not found
curl -X GET "http://localhost:3000/users/nonexistent/aggregates"{
"statusCode": 404,
"message": "No data found for user nonexistent",
"error": "Not Found"
}Purpose: Get list of all payout requests aggregated by user
GET /payouts/requestsExample Request:
curl -X GET "http://localhost:3000/payouts/requests" \

}'These examples demonstrate:
- Functionality Validation: All core features work as specified
- Error Handling: System gracefully handles various error scenarios
- Performance: APIs respond within acceptable time limits
- Monitoring: Comprehensive health checks provide system visibility
- Data Integrity: Balance calculations and aggregations are accurate
- Resilience: System handles rate limits and failures appropriately
The microservice successfully meets the challenge requirements:
- ✅ Provides user aggregated data (balance, earned, spent, payout, paid out)
- ✅ Provides list of payout requests with aggregation by user
- ✅ Handles millions of requests per day through efficient caching and indexing
- ✅ Maintains data freshness with less than 2-minute delays
- ✅ Respects Transaction API rate limits (5 requests/minute, max 1000 transactions)
- ✅ Provides comprehensive monitoring and health checks
All examples can be executed against the running Docker environment to validate that the system works as intended.
