Should the default API pull URL use production?

[JeremyDunn]

Is there a particular reason the default pull URL isn't using production (api.npr.org)?

There probably isn't one. My best guess is that it's just force of habit, the desire to initially steer people to dev servers. That, and the fact that s2 is definitely the sensible default for push (though probably not for pull).

I'm happy turn this into an actionable ticket, if you'd like.

I think it makes sense for the default pull URL to use production. Otherwise, if you want to immediately start pulling stories from the API (and don't think twice about accepting a default) you won't be receiving up-to-date content.

That or don't set a default at all and force the user to input it manually, which is currently how the push url is configured.

Thanks! Done.
