I think there is a video missing between this and the first, because there is no video where the API gets implemented in MarvelApi.js?? For me this video („Asynchronous Actions”) is the second video. And in the first we only see the marvel website but not any api key or the file named above.

Going off memory from a couple months ago, the MarvelApi.js file is given to you in the stage 4 files already implemented except for the API keys. You need to register on the API site to get your own keys. It's not gone over in any detail here but it is a fairly standard use of the Fetch API to grab some JSON data. The instructor probably assumed people would already be familiar with it, and focused to how to use the results in React Native/Redux instead. There are other workshops here that cover using the JavaScript Fetch API:

No, those files are updated and correct (relatively speaking for this course). After supplying the API keys and editing actions.js as shown in the two videos (as well as lowercasing the paths and fixing index.android yet again) the app builds and runs successfully.
