There was a problem hiding this comment.
I was able to run this using the instructions you provided and the output looks great!
We want to make it so that this is running on a localhost that can be accessed on the frontend side without test-server.js. Currently this isn't really possible because everything is configured for production mode--so the next step will be to conditionally change where the backend is running depending on when we are in production or dev mode. Nyssa did this for the QA backend in her pr here: #473
So I think a good next step starting next sem would be to copy the same conditional statements at the bottom of the server.js file in this pr so that the data you pulled is accessible from localhost:4000.

Description
Create an API route that gets all the resource information from the notion database, grouped by the workshop series and ordered by the workshop sequence. Confirmed that new addition to server.js does not interfere with external opportunities board. Verified that return value of API is as expected and ordered as needed.
