# MediPrice API
REST API for MediPrice Cameroon: medication, lab test, and care price transparency. Search a drug, lab test, or service and compare prices across pharmacies, laboratories, and hospitals in Bamenda — every price carries a trust badge (SEED-verified / provider-verified / community-reported) and a last-updated date.
> Full project roadmap: see the MediPrice Internship Guide document. The frontend lives in the mediprice-web repo.
