URL:

Alright, this is a little more complicated, what you want to do is find where the json file of your project is located on instructables. So the first step is to open up your instructables project on the site. Make sure you are not in editing mode. Now what you want to do is open developer tools, on a mac cmd+opt+i. Now find the tab in developer tools that says 'network'. Once you are here you are going to want to refresh the page. what you want to do is scroll through the XHR tab until you find the one labeled 'getIbleStats'. Now click on it and then copy the link under general -> request url. If you take out the first part(https://www.instructables.com) you are left with something that looks like this: /json-api/getIbleStats?id=ED3Z5LNMCW8HY2E. Take your string that looks like this and plop it into the varialbe 'projectUrl' on line #18. You are good to go and upload the code.
