works with actual API, follows PEP8

The urls will be part of a context file, like the app secret key and other context-dependent things(see the bottom of this file for other things like the hard-coded secret key and setting things to debug mode).  Since this is a global constant, it should be in all caps, and will be in the context file.  FYI, var_name does follow the PEP8 standard for global variables(lowercase with underscores for clarity)- __var_name__ is reserved by convention for built-in methods and varibles
