REST API in Node.js

A simple rest api example for calculating carbon footrpints from various sources.

Authentication has been done using passport.js localapikey on every request.

 app.route('/api/authenticate')
      .post(
        passport.authenticate('localapikey', { failureRedirect: '/api/unauthorized', failureFlash: true }),
        function(req, res) {
           res.json({ message: "Authenticated" });
        });

Mocha and Chai is used to carry out the test cases.

THe app is deployed on Heroku.
