Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How did you go about exploring the Edamam API, how did you try querying the API?	I used postman a lot and intentionally hit the 5 within a minute to see the differences in the responses. I did lot of testing the different ranges for the search and tested for responses with no hits or less than 100 responses to adjust the pagination to consider the limited responses.
Describe your API Wrapper. How did you decide on the methods you created?	I have two methods, one for requesting a list of recipes and one for requesting a specific recipe. I pretty much chose this approach to practice the calls, because my initial response involved a class variable that only required the one call to get the list and for some reason seemed to cache the recipe class variable even though it shouldn't have. I also was worried that storing the data that might appear across browsers rather than be limited to a specific session.
Describe an edge case or failure case test you wrote for your API Wrapper.	I found the free version of Edamam only give you the first 100 responses for a single group of search terms. So I wrote a test for if the user tried to enter an index greater than or equal to 100 and how to handle that request.
Explain how VCR aids in testing an API.	It creates a copy of a response so that when writing test and then running them you don't actually make endless calls to the API
What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application?	https://kf-muncher.herokuapp.com/
