courtsideliberia/courtside-liberia-api — reverse-engineered prompt

I want a simple backend API for a project called Courtside Liberia. It should feel like a clean starter service that a website or mobile app could talk to. Use JavaScript and keep it easy to run locally with environment variables for anything sensitive.

Set up a server with a few sensible JSON endpoints, like a health check and some example data routes that could later power the Courtside Liberia app. Make the responses consistent, add basic validation and error handling, and keep the code organized so it is easy to extend. If you think it makes sense, include support for creating, reading, updating, and deleting records in a straightforward way, even if it starts with simple in memory or placeholder data.

Please also make sure there is a clear .env example, helpful npm scripts, and a short note on how to start and test it. If you need to, look up current docs online and make reasonable choices to finish it end to end.
