In dynamics-web-api, when using batch, how to use content-id as a key of an update request?

Npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dynamics-web-api
Version: 1.6.12
this.dynamicsWebApi.startBatch();
this.dynamicsWebApi.createRequest({
collection: 'accounts',
entity: createdAccountData,
contentId: '1',
});
this.dynamicsWebApi.createRequest({
collection: 'contacts',
entity: {
...contactData,
'parentcustomerid_account#odata.bind': '$1',
},
contentId: '2',
});
this.dynamicsWebApi.updateRequest({
collection: 'accounts',
key: '$1',
entity: {
'aw_Dashboard_Contact#odata.bind': '$2',
},
});
await this.dynamicsWebApi.executeBatch();
From the above code, I intend to create an account, a contact that links to the account, and finally, update the account to link to the contact.
CreateRequest 1 and 2 could execute successfully, but the updateRequest failed with the error message "DynamicsWebApi.executeBatch requires the request.key parameter to be of type String representing GUID or Alternate Key"
My question is that there is any way to use the contentId 1 as the key of the updateRequest?

You can use the deep insert to create account and contact record and link them.

Stripe Payments Add Payment Source / Card / Method using NodeJS / Vue

I am building a simple SaaS application with recurring payments using NodeJS with Express for the API and Vue for the UI. I have code written to add a customer and link a subscription and plan as well as a few other routines. We allow users to sign up without entering a payment method so now, I need to add a way for a user to add a payment method. I have been through so much documentation that my head is spinning and Stripe support (or lack thereof) has been no help.
I have tried everything from createSource, createToken, and createPaymentMethod in the UI and then submitted that to the API where I have tried using everything from stripeapi.customers.createSource to stripe.paymentMethods.create and nothing works. Everything returns an error about either something missing in the object or the object being incorrect. I have attempted to look at the payment intents API however, this seems like overkill to just simply add a card to a customer.
Here is my latest code.
UI : Create Element
this.stripe = await loadStripe('pk_test_');
let stripeElem = this.stripe.elements();
this.card = stripeElem.create('card', { hideIcon: true, hidePostalCode: false, style: { base: { color: '#363636', fontSize: '22px', fontSmoothing: 'antialiased' }}});
this.card.mount(this.$refs.card);
UI: Submit to API
await this.stripe.createSource(this.card, { type: 'card' } ).then((source) => {
this.$http.post(`/api/route`, source).then((response) => {
if (response.status === 200) {
} else {
}
}).catch(() => {
});
API
await stripeapi.customers.createSource(customer_id, { source: card });
This code produces this object:
{ source:
{ id: 'src_1HLFsEDfvqoM1TxYXmFvlcK9',
object: 'source',
amount: null,
card:
{ exp_month: 1,
exp_year: 2022,
last4: '4242',
country: 'US',

address_zip_check: 'unchecked',
cvc_check: 'unchecked',

three_d_secure: 'optional',

address_line1_check: null,
tokenization_method: null,
dynamic_last4: null },
client_secret: 'src_client_secret_VILuqM6ZikLzp9nMq4gizfN8',

verified_address: null,
verified_email: null,
verified_name: null,
verified_phone: null },
statement_descriptor: null,
status: 'chargeable',
type: 'card',
usage: 'reusable' } }
This code and object produce this error:
(node:352976) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: The source hash must include an 'object' key indicating what type of source to create.

at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)
All I want to do is take an element, create a payment source/method (whatever it's called) and then associate that with a customer. Any help is appreciated. I have look at so many examples but nothing has worked for me. Everything seems to produce an error about the object or what not.

After more hours of development I finally figured it out! The API reference is severely lacking but this article here explains what to do: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-card-without-authentication
Essentially, you create and mount the element. Then, you use the createPaymentMethod in the UI and pass the card element to it. From there, you submit the paymentMethod.id string to your API and then use strip.paymentMethods.attach to attach it to a customer by passing the paymentMethod.id and the Stripe customer ID.
Front End HTML
<div ref="card" class="credit-card"></div>
Front End Create and Mount
this.stripe = await loadStripe('pk_test_YOURKEY');
let stripeElem = this.stripe.elements();
this.card = stripeElem.create('card', { hideIcon: true, hidePostalCode: false, style: { base: { color: '#363636', fontSize: '22px', fontSmoothing: 'antialiased' }}});
this.card.mount(this.$refs.card);
Front End Create Payment Method and Submit to Back End
await this.stripe.createPaymentMethod({ type: 'card', card: this.card }).then((method) => {
this.$http.post(`/users/billing/cards`, { id: method.paymentMethod.id }).then((response) => {
}).catch(() => {
});
}).catch(() => {
});
Please note: this code is NOT complete, it's just meant to give you an example for those that have struggled like I have.

The NodeJS error message reads:
The source hash must include an 'object' key indicating what type of source to create.
It can also be found here, but I'm not certain, if not this is a bogus error message. If this should indeed apply, it would be object: 'card' instead of object: 'source'; but I don't think so.
With Stripe there sometimes is more than one way to get something done:
The source should definitely be a client-side generated card token,
but your client-side doesn't have any code that would token-ize the card.
For reference, these would have to be combined:

Firebase retrieve chid data

I have my object as follows
-Notifications
userId
key1
datakey1
date: 10-10-2016
time: 3:20 pm
status: open
key2
datakey2
date: 11-10-2016
time: 5:00 pm
status: close
I'm having ref path till Notifications/userId
How do I retrieve data where status='open'
Code from comments:
ref.orderByChild("status")
.equalTo('open')
.on("value", function(snapshot) { console.log(snapshot.key); });

Firebase queries can only contain one dynamic key.
In your case you have two dynamic keys under that key1/key2 and datakey1/datakey2. You'll either have to put one of those at a fixed location (e.g. key1/my/status, key2/my/status) or you will have to structure your data differently.
notificationsStatusPerUser
userId: {
key1_datakey1: {
status: "open",
path: "key1/datakey1"
}
key2_datakey2: {
status: "close",
path: "key2/datakey2"
}
}
}
Now you can find all open items for a specific user with:
var query = ref.child('notificationsStatusPerUser')
.child(uid)
.orderByChild(status)
.equalTo('open');
query.on('child_added', function(snapshot) {
ref.child('notifications')
.child(uid)
.child(snapshot.val().path)
.once('value', function(linkedSnapshot) {
console.log(linkedSnapshot.val());
});
};

Facebook Messenger, Temporary send message failure when sending receipt

I want to send to user my receipt with dummy data.
I use this library which simplifies message sending to Facebook.
The structure of my payload is this:
var payload = {
template_type: 'receipt',
recipient_name: '#' + user.name + ' ' + user.surname,
order_number: (new Date).getTime(),
currency: 'USD',
payment_method: 'Наличными',
order_url: 'http://www.example.com',
timestamp: (new Date).getTime() + '',
elements: [
{
title: title,
subtitle: subtitle,
quantity: 1,
price: 20,
currency: 'USD',
image_url: image_url
}
],
address: {
street_1:"Nurly tau",
street_2:"",
city:"Almaty",
postal_code:"050000",
state:"KZ",
country:"KZ"
},
summary: {
subtotal: 20,
shipping_cost: 0,
total_tax: 0,
total_cost: 20
},
adjustments: []
};
I have just filled receipt fields with simple fake data. Also, Facebook tracks the uniqueness of order_numbers of all sent recepts.
When I try to send this receipt I receive an error message:
{ message: '(#1200) Temporary send message failure. Please try again later',
type: 'OAuthException',
code: 1200,
fbtrace_id: 'BHmHRCEQUC4' }
What does this error mean? Facebook's error messages are so enigmatic?

I just had the same problem and after some fiddling I figured it out! The problem is that when you construct the timestamp using (new Date).getTime() it returns the amount of miliseconds since epoch. However, Facebook requires it to be in seconds.

I had the same problem, after a lot of tries, I figured out that the problem is with the timestamp parameter passed with the JSON payload.
I have no clue about what it could be, but it worked for me removing that. (Maybe, the timestamp should be for a moment before the API call, I don't know).

EC2 - Create Instance params for javascript aws sdk

var params = {
ImageId: 'ami-23ebb513',
InstanceType: 't1.micro',
MinCount:1, MaxCount: 1
};
ec2.runInstances(params, function(err, data) {
})
This code is good to start with launch instances. But i am trying to customize the instance's security group, public key for ssh etc. How can we configure these params?
I see not much docs is available that lists out the params supported by aws-sdk.

You should be able to get most of what you want with params.
Params additions would be:
NetworkInterfaces: [{DeviceIndex:0, SubnetId: 'subnet-12345', AssociatePublicIpAddress:true, Groups: ['sg-12345']}],
KeyName: 'MyKey'
The only thing you can't really get with the ec2-runInstances is tag creation. That would come from a second api call within the first function, like so:
params = {Resources: [data['instanceId']], Tags: [
{Key: 'Name', Value: 'SomeName-' + data['instanceId']},
{Key: 'Project', Value: 'My Project'},
{Key: 'SubProject', Value: 'SpotInstanceAuto'},
{Key: 'Creator', Value: 'Jason Nichols'},
...
]};
ec2.createTags(params, function(err) {
console.log("Tagging instance", err ? "failure" : "success");
...
});
