@vanessavmac Thank you! see the failed backend tests. It looks like it's failing the code formatting. Are you using VSCode? The project should suggest the installation of Black & auto-format on save. So you can fix those linting & formatting locally before pushing. Also! There is a pre-commit hook to check the linting & formatting before committing changes. That should be installed as part of the project setup.

Will you add instructions about installing pre-commit and running pre-commit install? The pre-commit package is usually installed as part of your system python packages (vs. the local virtualenv).

@mihow Thanks for the comments!

Backend tests now pass and I added instructions to the README about installing the backend packages for IDE support + configuring pre-commit.

urljoin() is a safer choice for url concatenation.
