API Endpoint spec

Have your endpoint take the following body POST <WOLFREEALPHA_API_ENDPOINT>

{
    "input": <mathematical string>
}

And return the response making the call to wolframalpha api

GET https://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query

with query params:
appid = <app-id>
input = <input>
podstate = Step-by-step+solution
podstate = Step-by-step
