Unfortunately, the Chuck Norris API introduced at around 18:24 of the video is no longer online….

https://developer.cisco.com/video/net-prog-basics/01-programming_fundamentals/rest_part_1/curl_examples.sh


…and it’s referenced as well in the GitHub repo here…

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/netprog_basics/blob/master/programming_fundamentals/rest_part_1/curl_examples.sh

We could replace the Chuck Norris API with something like the Dog API (https://dog.ceo/dog-api/):

curl https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random

{"message":"https:\/\/images.dog.ceo\/breeds\/dane-great\/n02109047_20023.jpg","status":"success"}

curl https://dog.ceo/api/breed/hound/images/random

{"message":"https:\/\/images.dog.ceo\/breeds\/hound-basset\/n02088238_305.jpg","status":"success"}



…in regards to this curl_examples.sh file, the Network Programmability with RESTCONF example cURL on lines 17-21 will not work as written. However, if we change the URL to either of these two, it will work:

sandbox-iosxe-latest-1.cisco.com
sandbox-iosxe-recomm-1.cisco.com

So, the video doesn’t need to be updated, but the curl_examples.sh file does, because at 31:11 Hank urges the users to go back and run these code examples.

Since the README mentions we're using the Recommended code sandbox, we should use this URL:

sandbox-iosxe-recomm-1.cisco.com
