the output is very different to the one i see in the video...

My output comes out like that which makes it almost unreadable. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey Gab!

Sorry about my supremely slow follow-up on this.

I used an extra command at the end of each of my API requests to format it in a human-readable way. After your curl command, you can use the following to format things to look like the video:

YOUR API CURL COMMAND | python -m json.tool

You'll need to include that pipe key to format the response! :)
