Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How did you go about exploring the Edamam API, how did you try querying the API?	I started by exploring the API documentation on the Edamam site. I then used Postman to enter different GET requests in order to determine what my API wrapper would need in order to get the desired recipe information.
Describe your API Wrapper. How did you decide on the methods you created?	I created a method that searched and listed the search results and a method that gets the individual recipe and lists that recipe's details.
Describe an edge case or failure case test you wrote for your API Wrapper.	I wrote a test that sends an error if the recipe request is invalid.
Explain how VCR aids in testing an API.	It makes a call to the API and then stores the results from that request in a cassette. That cassette is used when doing testing in order to limit the number of API calls.
What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application?	https://maria-api-muncher.herokuapp.com/

you also need to do:

if response[0]

This test throws an error because of the thing I noted in the wrapper.

This should take an argument from params!
