Design and Build Great Web APIs: curl returns error instead of activity (page 9)
Trying out the example on page 9:
curl https://activity-atk.herokuapp.com/list
returns:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Application Error</title>
<style media="screen">
html,body,iframe {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html,body {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
iframe {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="//www.herokucdn.com/error-pages/application-error.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html
Any ideas?

I was able to obtain the files by downloading the source code from a link on the pragmatic programmers website.

I suspect this problem may stem from the fact that Heroku recently eliminated their free tier, though I hope I am wrong about that being the cause.
I was able to finish chapter one by downloading the files, and I hope I’ll be able to work through the rest of the exercises in the book without the URLs working. I figure that so long as the book doesn’t have us building anything using the (former) free tier on Heroku, we should be okay.
