Which API should we use to get content? #9

The Church has a special API for third-party apps, which we'd need to sign a copyright request form to get access to. On the other hand, @juanpaco says he can find us the API endpoints that the iOS app uses. If we want to have the goal of getting this to be an official app eventually, we'd need to have access to the main API, especially since the third-party one doesn't handle any authentication.

@juanpaco, can you find out what they would prefer us to do here?

From a technical POV, we certainly want to remove as many barriers as possible for the church to pick this app up and run with it. However, the church also seems to have strict procedures protecting the use of their content. I'd hate to receive a cease and desist order because we circumvented the process they've established for accessing and using their content within an app.
