Note About Tests

Tests rely on valid Spark fixture data. You are required to generate these fixture data files yourselves, as we are not able to include them in the repository for contractual reasons. This will require a valid Spark Platform API key.

Required fixture data:

• /fixutres/home.json - Representing a single home
• /fixtures/yelp.json - Representing a Yelp API request to /v3/businesses/search?location= . . .
