Update URLs for OCLC FAST APIs #394

Open Baroquem opened 2 months ago

Baroquem commented 2 months ago

The "experimental" subdomain still used for the FAST search lookup, http://experimental.worldcat.org, has ceased to operate. The code that makes use of it should be updated to use the production API.

(@jrochkind, is this something you could look at?)

Thank you!

@Baroquem I don't use the "linked data" variant of the FAST search lookup, and don't actually know how to!

I use the "assignFAST" search at https://github.com/samvera/questioning_authority/blob/main/lib/qa/authorities/assign_fast.rb instead, which appears to still be working to me.

So I'm not super comfortable making any changes to code I don't know how to use or verify!

I think the project's automated tests are not great for this stuff. If you or anyone can PR, and confirm that you verified your change working manually, I can review the PR!
