This program is meant to be used as an application server between an application and football-data.org API. Football-data provides an awesome API for Euro 2020 matches and results, but the free version comes with rate limiting. For that reason connecting your website frontend directly to Football Data API doesn't really work.
Euro 2020 API provides two resource endpoints to get data from the external API. It caches the data to memory so that the external API won't get pulled too often.
API does not expect a trailing slash in URIs and you should not include them when calling the API. For example /groups will return list of groups and team standings when as /groups/ will result 404 Not found.
Resource returns Euro 2020 matches in JSON format.
