# BackgroundTransfer-Example

An example project looking at how to implement background transfers on iOS as shown in this article - https://williamboles.com/keeping-things-going-when-the-user-leaves-with-urlsession-and-background-transfers/

In order to run this project, you will need to register with [TheCatAPI](https://thecatapi.com/) to get a `x-api-key` token to access TheCatAPI's API (which the project uses to get its example content). Once you have your `x-api-key`, add it to the project as the value of the `APIKey` property in the `NetworkService` class and the project should now run. If you have any trouble getting the project to run, please create an issue.
