For convenience, there is a live API server running at http://booksapi.nzlouis.com/doc.html for the application to make requests against. You can view the API spec here which contains all routes & responses for the server.

If you want to change the API URL to a local server, simply edit src/main/resources/application.properties and change server.port to the local server's URL (i.e. http://localhost:8088/doc.html)
