What is this?

Discovafrica is an API and web service intended to provide information on several categories such as local dishes, music, historical books, languages, Religions, Politics etc all grouped by their countries and detailed information where necessary!
We've taken all the rich contextual stuff from the universe and formatted into something easier to consume with software. Then we went and stuck an API on the front so you can access it all!

How can I use it?

All the data is accessible through our HTTP web API. Consult our documentation if you'd like to get started.
Helper libraries for commonly used programming languages that allow you to access or use information about diskovafrica. These tools are provided to make it easier for you to work with the information.
