Feedhenry Sample Service Using data from the Internet for Data Sources

This sample RESTful service has 2 endpoints, /hobbies and /sw for loading data from the Internet and then properly formatting it as a Data Source

The /hobbies endpoint will "scrape" the website, http://www.notsoboringlife.com/list-of-hobbies/, parse the HTML, and produce a list.

The /sw endpoint will use the Open Source Star Wars API, http://swapi.co/, and get a list of Star Wars Films.

An example of the Data Sources format is below:

[
    {
        "key": "some_key",
        "value": "some_value"
    }
]

You can also choose which item is to be selected by default by adding the "selected" property

[
    {
        "key": "some_key",
        "value": "some_value"
    },
    {
        "key": "other_key",
        "value": "other_key",
        "selected": true
    }
]
