The key dependencies in pom.xml are\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```xml\n<properties>\n    <java.version>17</java.version>\n    <testcontainers.version>2.0.4</testcontainers.version>\n    <wiremock-testcontainers.version>1.0-alpha-13</wiremock-testcontainers.version>\n</properties>\n<dependencies>\n    <dependency>\n        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>\n        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>\n    </dependency>\n    <dependency>\n        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>\n        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>\n        <scope>test</scope>\n    </dependency>\n    <dependency>\n        <groupId>org.testcontainers</groupId>\n        <artifactId>testcontainers-junit-jupiter</artifactId>\n        <scope>test</scope>\n    </dependency>\n    <dependency>\n        <groupId>org.wiremock</groupId>\n        <artifactId>wiremock-standalone</artifactId>\n        <version>3.6.0</version>\n        <scope>test</scope>\n    </dependency>\n```\n\nUsing the Testcontainers BOM (Bill of Materials) is recommended so that you don't have to repeat the version for every Testcontainers module dependency.\n\nThis guide builds an application that manages video albums. A third-party REST API handles photo assets. For demonstration purposes, the application uses the publicly available JSONPlaceholder API as a photo service.\n\nThe application exposes a GET /api/albums/{albumId} endpoint that calls the photo service to fetch photos for a given album. WireMock is a tool for building mock APIs. Testcontainers provides a WireMock module that runs WireMock as a Docker container.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
