I'm making a swift app in Xcode that makes use of a cocapod called HNKWordLookup (originally written in objective c). This pod uses the WordNik API to return a random word. My only issue is that a lot of the words that are returned are quite obscure.
I figured that I could go to the http://developer.wordnik.com/docs page and set parameters there, and then be given a Request URL that caters to these parameters . I assume I need to put this into my code somewhere in place of another URL that is present within the pre written pod, but I have no clue where to put the request URL. At first I put it in place in the following line of code which was located in the pod's .m file ("HNKLookup.m:):
static NSString *const kHNKLookupBaseUrl = @"http://api.wordnik.com:80/v4";
changing it to
static NSString *const kHNKLookupBaseUrl = @"http://api.wordnik.com:80/v4/words.json/randomWord?hasDictionaryDef=true&excludePartOfSpeech=definite-article&minCorpusCount=1&maxCorpusCount=-1&minDictionaryCount=30&maxDictionaryCount=-1&minLength=1&maxLength=-1&api_key=a2a73e7b926c924fad7001ca3111acd55af2ffabf50eb4ae5";
but this broke my code. Is there a certain phrase or area that I should be looking out for within the pod where I can put my new request URL in and thus run my program with my desired parameters? As you can tell I'm pretty new to programming.
