Question about the URL request

[dannypage]

Curious why this line is needed in the code - or more broadly, why there's a Callback at the end of the base_url? It seems to work without the callback, but maybe there's some information I am missing.

I'm also curious about the key and if we should be concerned about it ever rotating. Thanks!

res <- gsub("angular.callbacks._4\\(", "", res)

Yeah, as I'm going back and updating / re-writing some of the functions, I am converting them to this to handle the regex better:

  callback_pattern <- "angular.callbacks._\\d+\\("
  res <- gsub(callback_pattern, "", res)
