Jsonplaceholder to Reqres Automation

📋 About

This is a practice project with the intent of exercising working with simultaneous APIs and a database. The automation gets user data from the Jsonplaceholder API, stores users on a local MongoDB Community database based on their respective ids, transforms the user data to an appropriate model for the Reqres API and creates a user in it. The automation utilizes a cron job system to run automatically everyday 9PM.

Setting up environment variables

Now, we need to open the project with a code editor to set up environment variables, by creating a .env file based on .env.example on the project folder. We need to add a port for our server to use.

Afterwards, we can run npm start on the terminal. We can leave the automation running and it will update the database everyday at 9PM.
