Reflection

Question	Answer
How did you go about exploring the Slack API? Did you learn anything that would be useful for your next project involving an API?	TO NOTE: At the very end I was having some Git issues. I guess I was working on a master and main branch? I think I did a pull request for the right one. Back to the question - I started with the provided links and postman. That was my zone, though I was always on a struggle bus the whole time :(.
Give a short summary of the request/response cycle. Where does your program fit into that scheme?	My program requests information about recipients. It also sends messages and receives a "confirmation" response. Not sure I understand this question....
How does your program check for and handle errors when using the Slack API?	It raises an error when a call fails.
How did the design and organization of your project change over time?	Oh geez my project was a poop storm! The organization was wrong from the beginning and only now am I starting to understand. I restarted wave 2 like 4 times. Now I am starting to realize I just need to start all over to make it better. At least I got it to work, assuming I am "pull requesting" the correct git.
Did you use any of the inheritance idioms we've talked about in class? How?	Yes, user and channel are a recipient.
How does VCR aid in testing a program that uses an API?	It records a result so you don't have to make multiple API calls. Calls usually have some sort of cost, so having a copy is good.
