   bad documentation and API over charges

   First, the docuemtnation is out of date... for node.js, anyway. This meant that I had to patch together parts of the docuemtnation to get the API to work. Then, as the articles are paginated. the API charges 50 token for each page of the query, when it should be 50 tokens for the entire query. Therefore, I'd been charged 5,000 tokens within minutes. (Note: it's $150 USD for every 10,000 tokens)

   I asked for a refund, explaining the pagination issue, and was told that I made a mistake.

   I've requested my money back from the credit card company and provided them the proof of faulty documentation and billing.

• Best Bootcamp

  From an Online bootcamp's perspective: I did bloc.io Online program, which was later swallowed into the Thinkful's part time online program ($9500). Right now, Today, I would rather enroll in Codecademy Pro ($128 / year currently if you are a student) and go through Full Stack Engineer program. I am helping a new coder who's enrolled in this and it's very similar (if not better) to the bloc program I did. I wish I... Source: almost 3 years ago
