accessing the api #52

not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm having an issue. everything is done, tests are passing, and i deployed it to heroku. When it's actually on production, what would the address be? according to the development structure of accessing the app via http://api.repo_name.dev/, the heroku equivalent should be https://api.heroku_name.herokuapp.com right?

On development, if I go into my browser and type http://api.marketplaceapi.dev/products i get a json response. However if I make a curl request to https://api.heroku_name.herokuapp.com/products I get Heroku | No such app.

with the api subdomain set, would you know how to go about accessing the endpoints in production?

The only thing with that, is that the app is already on a subdomain, you can change the routes files to something like this:

#From this:
namespace :api, defaults: { format: :json }, constraints: { subdomain: 'api' }, path: '/'  do
  ...
end

#To this
namespace :api, path: '/api' do
 ...
end

And you can access the api through http://heroku_name.herokuapp.com/api/any_resource

If you buy a domain for your app, you can change to the subdomain way.
