Inspiration
I decided to build these collections because I have previously used these APIs in creating my own iOS news app.
Instead of having to go through multiple pages on the NY Times Developer website, users can use these collections which only require an api-key rather than having to go to each page on the developer website or have multiple tabs open.
How I Built it
I simply used Postman and referenced the NY Times Developer website.
Challenges we ran into
I was unfamiliar with how I could implement an easy way for users to be able to change the path of the request (for the Top Stories API).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am proud of solving the challenges I faced and doing some research until I settled on changing the path url based on a variable which can be changed in the Pre-request Script.
What we learned
I learned a lot more about Postman and how beneficial it is to have such collections because it puts everything in one place.
What's next for NY Times APIs
There are other APIs which I haven't used before so those APIs could be added until this workspace is complete with all the NY Times APIs.
Also, I am sure there are ways to better implement changing a variable in the path url so that may be something else I can look into.
How To Test
User will have to obtain api-key for free from: https://developer.nytimes.com/
