Hi. We're doing exactly the same thing as in the lesson video here: setting up the query to the API. So your interface code is absolutely correct.

However, the challenge ends here, it's just about the query. We do not need to create an instance and deal with the results of the query here. So just remove the second part of your code (the getApi() method) and you will be fine.

Hope that helps :)

Sometimes having some lines commented out can trigger an error. Maybe it was your case?
