This Flask application provides a simple web server with two endpoints. It demonstrates basic functionalities including serving a static message, handling GET requests with query parameters, and returning JSON responses. The application includes features like current day and time retrieval, as well as constructing GitHub URLs.

• Python 3.x
• Flask
• pytz

1. Clone the repository:
2. Navigate to the cloned directory and install dependencies: pip install requirements.txt

Execute the following command to start the Flask server: python app.py

By default, the server runs on port 5000, but this can be modified using the PORT environment variable.

1. Hello Endpoint (/):

   • Returns a simple greeting.
   • Usage: Access [host URL]/.

2. API Endpoint (/api):

   • Accepts GET requests with optional query parameters: slack_name and track.
   • Returns a JSON response containing the slack_name, current day, current UTC time, track, and URLs for a GitHub repository and file.
   • Usage: Access [host URL]/api?slack_name=[name]&track=[track].

url -X GET '[host URL]/api?slack_name=JohnDoe&track=DataScience

• Port Configuration: The application uses the PORT environment variable. If not set, it defaults to port 5000.

• Time Zone: The application is set to use the 'US/Eastern' timezone for retrieving the current day.

• GitHub URLs: Modify the github_repo_url and github_file_url in the /api endpoint as per your repository details.
