Image Search Abstraction Layer

Objective

Build a full stack app that allows you to search for images like this: https://cryptic-ridge-9197.herokuapp.com/api/imagesearch/lolcats%20funny?offset=10 and browse recent search queries like this: https://cryptic-ridge-9197.herokuapp.com/api/latest/imagesearch/.

Requirements

• User Story: I can get the image URLs, alt text and page urls for a set of images relating to a given search string.

• User Story: I can paginate through the responses by adding a ?offset=2 parameter to the URL.

• User Story: I can get a list of the most recently submitted search strings.
