Manage Countries Coordinates and Flags in Database using RESTful Web Services and PLSQL



Here i am giving an example to manage countries coordinates and flag in database using RESTful web services and PLSQL.

Reference APIs:

CREATE TABLE fxgn_country_coordinates
  (
    id                           NUMBER,
    country_code        VARCHAR2(10),
    country                  VARCHAR2(200),
    capital                    VARCHAR2(100),
    latitude                   NUMBER,
    longitude                NUMBER,
    updated_by             VARCHAR2(30),
    updated_on             TIMESTAMP (6),
    country_flag_flat    VARCHAR2(100),
    country_flag_shiny VARCHAR2(100)
  );
 
Step 2: Create sequence as below,
 
CREATE SEQUENCE fxgn_country_coordinates_s MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE nokeep noscale GLOBAL;

Step 3: Create stored procedure as below, which will call API to get countries coordinates and flag.

CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE get_country_coordinates 
AS  
  l_response CLOB;
  l_url VARCHAR2(1000);
  BEGIN
    l_url:= 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/erdem/8c7d26765831d0f9a8c62f02782ae00d/raw/248037cd701af0a4957cce340dabb0fd04e38f4c/countries.json';
   
    apex_web_service.g_request_headers.DELETE ;
    apex_web_service.g_request_headers(1).NAME  := q'#User-Agent#';
    apex_web_service.g_request_headers(1).VALUE := q'#Oracle Application Express / REST Client Assistant#';
    
    DELETE FROM fxgn_country_coordinates;
    
    INSERT INTO fxgn_country_coordinates (id, latitude, longitude, country, country_code, capital, 
                                          country_flag_flat, country_flag_shiny, updated_by, updated_on)
          SELECT fxgn_country_coordinates_s.nextval,
                 latitude,
                 longitude,
                 country,
                 country_code,
                 capital,
                 '<img src="https://www.countryflags.io/'||country_code||'/flat/64.png">',
                 '<img src="https://www.countryflags.io/'||country_code||'/shiny/64.png">',
                 'KARKUVELRAJA.T',
                 LOCALTIMESTAMP
            FROM dual,
                 json_table (apex_web_service.make_rest_request( p_url => l_url, 
                                                                 p_http_method => 'GET'),
                            '$[*]' COLUMNS ( country VARCHAR2(200) path '$.name', 
                                             country_code VARCHAR2(200) path '$.country_code', 
                                             capital VARCHAR2(200) path '$.capital', 
                                             latitude NUMBER path '$.latlng[0]', 
                                             longitude NUMBER path '$.latlng[1]' 
                                            ));
      COMMIT;
END get_country_coordinates
/

Step 3: Call the procedure. It will populate data into respective table.

BEGIN
get_country_coordinates();
END;
/
