Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How did you go about exploring the Edamam API, how did you try querying the API?	I read through the (limited) documentation of the Edamam API on their website, made various HTTP requests in Postman, and ran tests using VCR to check the response body for different types of HTTP requests to the Edamam API.
Describe your API Wrapper. How did you decide on the methods you created?	My Edamam API wrapper has methods to get Recipe results based on a given search term, as well as a method to to create a Recipe object based on the JSON response of the query, and then a find Recipe method to pull up information on one particular recipe, based on the unique key of the recipe's URI.
Describe an edge case or failure case test you wrote for your API Wrapper.	I had to refactor my method to handle dealing with unauthorized requests as well as requests that don't have any results, because the response is different: either a html body response or an empty array.
Explain how VCR aids in testing an API.	VCR save API requests and responses by groups called "cassettes". If the same request is made through your VCR testing, it will use the saved response instead of making a new API call. You can use the saved cassette responses to test for expected behavior and responses from your API wrapper methods.
What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application?	https://ada-savor-app.herokuapp.com/
