How lahrim/pays-api works
This is a country-information API. A client requests a country list, random country, or a lookup filtered by codes, language, phone, currency, or French/English names and regions; the API queries MySQL and returns JSON. Express also serves the static public directory. The route handlers and database connection are evidenced in sampled source; the README documents the full lookup families, but their individual handlers are represented together.
