# Build a Zoo — API server

Node + Express + PostgreSQL. Auth by Ed25519 keypair (pseudo, no password). Zoos and game state persisted in DB; bots ensure minimum zoo density on the map.

## Prerequisites

- Node 18+
- PostgreSQL (create a database, e.g. `builazoo`)

## Setup

```bash
npm install
createdb builazoo   # or your DB name
psql -d builazoo -f schema.sql
```

Set environment:

- `DATABASE_URL`: connection string (default `postgres://localhost/builazoo`)
- `PORT`: HTTP port (default `3000`)

## Run

```bash
npm start
```

API base URL is `http://localhost:3000` (or your host/port). From the web client, set `window.BUILAZOO_API_URL` to this URL before loading the app (e.g. in HTML or via build env) to enable sign-up and sync. For local testing you can also open the web app with `?api=http://localhost:3000` (or your API origin).

## Endpoints

- `GET /api/health` — health check
- `POST /api/auth/register` — create account (body: `{ pseudo }`, header: `X-Public-Key` base64url)
- `GET /api/zoos` — list zoos for map (creates bots if below `minZoos`)
- `GET /api/zoos/me` — get my zoo + game_state (signed)
- `POST /api/zoos/me` — create my zoo (signed, body: `{ name?, game_state }`)
- `PATCH /api/zoos/me` — update game_state (signed, body: `{ game_state }`)

Signed requests use headers: `X-Public-Key`, `X-Signature`, `X-Timestamp`. Message signed = `method + path + timestamp + SHA256(body)`.
