Star Wars API Demo - Migrate to static GitHub API #14

Open TheFreeman193 opened 3 months ago

TheFreeman193 commented 3 months ago

The existing Star Wars API (https://mc-starwars-data.azurewebsites.net) is no longer online and examples from The AAA Approach don't function.

This migrates the example code to a static demo API hosted on GitHub (https://thefreeman193.github.io/mita-swapi).

Advantages:

Very similar dataset to the old API (only 1 change needed in assertions)
Static backend and thus very quick
No pagination or result wrapping unlike some other SWAPI demos
Online and actively maintained
Minimal code changes to examples needed

Not to be merged until manuscript changes are published on LeanPub.

Fixes #11
