Install

After cloning the repo locally you can install it by calling

$ npm install

Setup

Once you have it installed you can start the server by calling

$ node <server-name>

Where the available servers are:

  • find_the_secret_server.js
  • find_the_500_server.js

Challenges

These challenges are all designed to be 'black box.' The purpose of them is to help you learn more about how APIs work and what kinds of things to think about when testing them. For you to get the most of them, try to solve them all by using only API calls. Don't go looking in the server implementations or the databases for the answers. See if you can find them with only using the APIs

Secret profile

The challenge:

There is a secret profile (profile 1) that you are not supposed to be able to access. Using only API calls, can you find out the name of that profile?

Routes

The find the secret challenge can be solved using the following routes:

GET /blogposts
GET /blogposts/<id>
GET /comments
GET /comments/<id>
GET /profiles
GET /profiles/<id>

You may also need to use the following parameters:

Relationships

To include children resources, add _embed

GET /blogposts?_embed=comments
GET /blogposts/1?_embed=comments

To include parent resource, add _expand

GET /comments?_expand=blogpost
GET /comments/1?_expand=blogpost

Find The 500 Errors

The challenge:

There are (at least) two 500 errors to be found in this little application. See if you can find them using only API calls.

Routes

The find the 500 challenge has the following routes:

GET /blogposts
GET /blogposts/<id>
GET /comments
GET /comments/<id>
GET /profiles
GET /profiles/<id>
GET /avatars
GET /avatars/<id>

POST and PUT commands are also available. To figure out what parameters they take, just do a GET call on the corresponding resource to see what paramters it has.

POST /blogposts
POST /comments
POST /profiles
POST /avatars
PUT /blogposts/<id>
PUT /comments/<id>
PUT /profiles/<id>
PUT /avatars/<id>

DELETE commands will also work, but you shouldn't need them to solve this challenge

You may also need to use the following parameters:

Relationships

To include children resources, add _embed

GET /blogposts?_embed=comments
GET /blogposts/1?_embed=comments

To include parent resource, add _expand

GET /comments?_expand=blogpost
GET /comments/1?_expand=blogpost

Install

After cloning the repo locally you can install it by calling

$ npm install

Setup

Once you have it installed you can start the server by calling

$ node <server-name>

Where the available servers are:

  • find_the_secret_server.js
  • find_the_500_server.js

Challenges

These challenges are all designed to be 'black box.' The purpose of them is to help you learn more about how APIs work and what kinds of things to think about when testing them. For you to get the most of them, try to solve them all by using only API calls. Don't go looking in the server implementations or the databases for the answers. See if you can find them with only using the APIs

Secret profile

The challenge:

There is a secret profile (profile 1) that you are not supposed to be able to access. Using only API calls, can you find out the name of that profile?

Routes

The find the secret challenge can be solved using the following routes:

GET /blogposts
GET /blogposts/<id>
GET /comments
GET /comments/<id>
GET /profiles
GET /profiles/<id>

You may also need to use the following parameters:

Relationships

To include children resources, add _embed

GET /blogposts?_embed=comments
GET /blogposts/1?_embed=comments

To include parent resource, add _expand

GET /comments?_expand=blogpost
GET /comments/1?_expand=blogpost

Find The 500 Errors

The challenge:

There are (at least) two 500 errors to be found in this little application. See if you can find them using only API calls.

Routes

The find the 500 challenge has the following routes:

GET /blogposts
GET /blogposts/<id>
GET /comments
GET /comments/<id>
GET /profiles
GET /profiles/<id>
GET /avatars
GET /avatars/<id>

POST and PUT commands are also available. To figure out what parameters they take, just do a GET call on the corresponding resource to see what paramters it has.

POST /blogposts
POST /comments
POST /profiles
POST /avatars
PUT /blogposts/<id>
PUT /comments/<id>
PUT /profiles/<id>
PUT /avatars/<id>

DELETE commands will also work, but you shouldn't need them to solve this challenge

You may also need to use the following parameters:

Relationships

To include children resources, add _embed

GET /blogposts?_embed=comments
GET /blogposts/1?_embed=comments

To include parent resource, add _expand

GET /comments?_expand=blogpost
GET /comments/1?_expand=blogpost
