Testing Existing Catalog API
Your AWS account should now have its own instance of the existing Catalog API. Let’s verify that it’s working.
Finding the API’s URL
Click here to open the Elastic Beanstalk console for the Catalog API. If you don’t see the application, make sure you are logged into in the correct AWS account and region for this workshop.
Now click the URL link for the production environment. It will first take you to an error page, which is expected.
Querying for Books
In your browser’s URL bar add /api/books to the end and hit enter. You should see the following page result:
The first time you navigate to this page it may take up to 30 seconds to respond. The server does a bunch of initialization during the first request, including migrating and seeding the database.
You are now ready to continue onto the Workshop Setup!
