I'm trying to use a REST web service from Geonames.org. When I try to manually put in the url with the parameters, it would only return the Country Code. I've tried to search for ways to implement it, but most of what I've seen return JSON text with multiple keys and data. I feel like the answer should be pretty simple, but I'm unsure.
I'm trying to use this for a React project I'm working on.
Here is an example of what the url returns
Just looked into the docs of that API, and it says if you want to receive JSON responses simply add JSON keyword to the endpoint. Like here for given endpoint you have:
http://api.geonames.org/countryCodeJSON?formatted=true&lat=47.03&lng=10.2&username=demo
so just change countryCode to countryCodeJSON.

I'm testing an application that calls one API, gets a bunch of work orders, then only the work order ID's are passed to another API to display on the page.
The format they need to be in is: {"workOrderIds":["12345","123456"]}
I'm using the JSON Extractor with the following Path Expressions:
$..workOrderNumber
then I'm using the JSR223 PostProcessor and using the following script:
props.put("workOrderNumber", "${workOrderNumber}";
The problem is, that its creating the object like so when I add the variable into the POST Request body of the second request:
{"workOrderIds":["12345, 123456"]}
essentially, I just need to make sure that each value has quotations, but not sure how to make this happen. Sorry if this seems simple, I'm fairly new to QA and have spent several hours trying to figure this out.
We cannot provide a comprehensive answer without seeing the source JSON, maybe it worth trying explicitly casting the filtering result to an Integer like:
vars.put('workOrderIds', new groovy.json.JsonBuilder(new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parse(prev.getResponseData()).findResults { entry -> entry.workOrderNumber as int }).toPrettyString())

I am trying to use the API to return data from the Chagrin Falls station in Ohio. I can get the data from the website so I know there is data, but the API does not return any values.
I have a valid token and the examples in the documentation work, but if I try any to alter the examples in any way I get nothing back just any empty json object {}.
Example I am trying to use:
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/api/v2/data?datasetid=GSOM&stationid=GHCND:US1OHGG0014&units=standard&startdate=2020-08-01&enddate=2020-08-01&limit=1000
Data from the website:
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datasets/GHCND/stations/GHCND:US1OHGG0014/detail
I don't exactly know how you are going to achieve this since you haven't told us what programming language you are using. However, with python I use a module called urllib to extract raw html data from a url that can be seen from the browser using ctrl+u.
I recently went through the www.clementinejs.com tutorial as I'm trying to learn the MEAN stack. I was able to complete it and understand most of it. However when i'm trying to repeat the process with mongoose and get slightly more data, I keep failing.
What i'm trying to do:
When page loads angular performs get request to '/api/entries' which searches mongo(via mongoose) and returns all docs in the collection, then load those docs into a div via angular ng-repeat.
If I insert dumby data into an object in the controller file I have no problem getting the data to show on the page, but when I try with the database I messed up somewhere. Even the angular curly brackets show up when I try to do it that way.
Here is my repo.

Should I just use mongo instead of mongoose? I'm not sure if i've set it up correctly.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I've been stuck for days trying so many different approaches, at this point I have no doubt there is multiple problems in the code.
Entry.get(function(result){
$scope.entries = result;
})
get() expects single object in the response.
Please read $resource's docs
Use:
Entry.query({field1: 'criterion'}) for queries and multiple resources.
Entry.get({_id: 'someid'}) for a single resource.
Entry.save({my: 'properties'}) for saving existing resource or creating a new resource.
Entry.delete({_id: 'someid'}) for deleting a single resource.
Also next time please post relevant code (IE your $resource calls) directly.
I am using Google app engine (v1.9.24) with flask (v0.10.1) and python (v2.7.5).
I'm trying to get the googlemaps (v2.2) API to work with my app.
I know the JSON returned is badly formatted but I don't why.
My code is below:
import googlemaps
gmaps = googlemaps.Client(key='API_KEY')
geocode_result = gmaps.geocode('6b, oko awo, victoria island, lagos')
return geocode_result
This works perfectly, but returns a badly formatted JSON string (I confirmed this by running the same code on my local machine).
I used JSON validator to validate the JSON it returned. And because of the badly fomatted JSON my flask app crashes and gives me a ValueError.
I don't know a way around this and I'd appreciate any help.
The problem is not with the JSON. Actually,
gmaps.geocode('6b, oko awo, victoria island, lagos')
doesn't return JSON at all, it returns a list that holds the value of "result" as documented in the google docs, as you can see here in the source code for googlemaps library.
What is actually returned is a list object filled with data. All the string values inside this list are unicode strings. That means they look like u'hello' instead of plain "hello" (note the double quotes) that json.loads() expects (I assume that is how you are trying to load the JSON).
This probably means that the problem you're trying to solve a non existing problem. You don't have to load the JSON, because it already is a python list object.
You can confirm by doing
json.loads(json.dumps(geocode_result))
it works fine, meaning there is no problem with the JSON structure.
So, I spent some time and built a quick API for a project that I'm doing for myself.
I used the Postman add-on for Chrome to mimic PUT and DELETE quests to make sure everything worked correctly. Really happy I did that, as I learned a lot about PHP's shortcomings with PUT and DELETE requests.
Using the API I've had working with Postman, I started moving everything over to AngularJs controllers and such.
I'm trying to get a user to claim a row in a database as the login information for the users is different than this particular information. I couldn't figure out why the put requests to claim the row in my database wasn't working. Lo and behold, the data being parsed from my parsestr(file_get_contents('php://input')) had 1 array key, which was a JSON string.
I've looked, and I can't seem to find a solid answer either through Stackoverflow or Google (maybe I missed it somewhere in the config options), So my question is this: is there any way I can get the $http.put call send the data to the server correctly?
Thanks to user Chandermani for pointing me to the link at this URL which answered the base of my question.
From the above link, I found myself on This Blog post submitted by another user. In the end, what I ended up doing was the following:
taking param() function from the above link, as well as implementing these lines of code:
var app = angular.module('ucpData', [] , function($httpProvider){
$httpProvider.defaults.transformRequest = [function(data) {
return angular.isObject(data) && String(data) !== '[object File]' ? param(data) : data;
}];
});
Is how I worked around the problem. For some developers, you may actually want to keep the default transformRequest settings, but for the project I am doing I know that I will end up forgetting to call param() at some point, and my server doesn't naturally accept json data anyway. I would caution future developers to consider what they are attempting to do before they alter the transformRequest array directly.
