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:

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'm trying to load an external page using JSONP, but the page is an HTML page, I just want to grab the contents of it using ajax.
EDIT: The reason why I'm doing this is because I want to pass all the user information ex: headers, ip, agent, when loading the page rather than my servers.
Is this doable? Right now, I can get the page, but jsonp attempts to parse the json, returning an error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
Sample code:
$.post('http://example.com',function(data){
$('.results').html(data);
},'jsonp');
I've set up a jsfiddle for people to test with:
http://jsfiddle.net/8A63A/1/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP#Script_element_injection
Making a JSONP call (in other words, to employ this usage pattern),
requires a script element. Therefore, for each new JSONP request, the
browser must add (or reuse) a new element—in other words,
inject the element—into the HTML DOM, with the desired value for the
"src" attribute. This element is then evaluated, the src URL is
retrieved, and the response JSON is evaluated.
Now look at your error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
< is the first character of any html tag, probably this is the start of <DOCTYPE, in this case, which is, of course, invalid JavaScript.
And NO, you can't use JSONP for fetching html data.
I have done what you want but in my case I have control of the server side code that returns the HTML.
So, what I did was wrapped the HTML code in one of the Json properties of the returned object and used it at client side, something like:
callback({"page": "<html>...</html>"})
The Syntax error you are facing it's because the library you're using expects json but the response is HTML, just that.
I've got three words for you: Same Origin Policy
Unless the remote URL actually supports proper JSONP requests, you won't be able to do what you're trying to. And that's a good thing.
Edit: You could of course try to proxy the request through your server …
If you really just want to employ the client to snag an HTML file, I suggest using flyJSONP - which uses YQL.. or use jankyPOST which uses some sweet techniques:
jankyPOST creates a hidden iframe and stuffs it with a form (iframe[0].contentWindow.document.body.form.name).
Then it uses HTML5 (watch legacy browsers!) webMessaging API to post to the other iframe and sets iframe's form elements' vals to what u specified.
Submits form to remote server...done.
Or you could just use PHP curl, parse it, echo it, so on.
IDK if what exactly ur using it for but I hope this helps.
ALSO...
I'm pretty sure you can JSONP anything that is an output from server code. I did this with ClientLogin by just JSONPing their keyGen page and successfully consoleLogged the text even though it was b/w tags. I had some other errors on that but point is that I scraped that output.
Currently, I'm trying to do what you are so I'll post back if successful.
I don't think this is possible. JSONP requires that the response is rendered properly.
If you want another solution, what about loading the url in an iframe and trying to talk through the iframe. I'm not 100% positive it will work, but it's worth a shot.
First, call the AJAX URL manually and see of the resulting HTML makes sense.
Second, you need to close your DIV in your fiddle example.
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.
