Fetch api return same data always

Every time one of my button is clicked, I trigger a call to the adviceslip API to get an advice data. I expect the payload to vary. But the exact same data is returned after each call.
I've tried to call getAdvice function as a callback but it didn't work.
Am I missing something?
'use strict'
const title = document.querySelector('.advice-title')
const desc = document.querySelector('.advice-text')
const btn = document.querySelector('.btn')
const getAdvice = async () =>{
try{
const response = await fetch('https://api.adviceslip.com/advice');
if (!response.ok){
throw new Error('Api connection problem')
}
const responseJson = await response.json();
const data = responseJson.slip;
const id = `ADVICE #${data.id}`;
const advice = `"${data.advice}"`;
title.textContent = id;
desc.textContent = advice;
}
catch (e) {
console.error(e)
}
}
btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
getAdvice()
})

There appears to be an issue with caching where multiple requests closely spaced in time from a web page will cause the same result to come back. If I add a uniquely changing value to the URL to defeat caching like this:
const response = await fetch('https://api.adviceslip.com/advice?t=' + Math.random());
Then, I get a unique response every time.
I experimented with sending various headers to disable caching instead of the t=xxx hack, but those headers trigger a CORs error and the fetch() does not succeed because custom headers like this don't pass the test for a "simple" CORS request and thus require pre-flight which the target site does not support. So, the ?t=xxx where xxx is different on each request seems to do the trick.

I found this and it worked for me. Add
const response = await fetch("https://api.adviceslip.com/advice", { cache: "no-cache" });

Gmail API in python and Gmail App giving different messageId for same message

So watch a tutorial on internet i created a Google App Script(GAS) for getting History id. using previous history ids i created a script which gives message id and thread id for every incoming requests and posts it on my API in function postReq(). Now when i try to use these ids in python gmail api they show error that they dont exist. I tried to get ids for certain messages and found out they are different from those given from GAS. Is this something api does or i can fix this anyway? Thanks
function doPost(e) {
let message = JSON.parse(e.postData.getDataAsString()).message
let data = Utilities.newBlob(Utilities.base64Decode(message.data)).getDataAsString();
let sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById('...')
let doc = DocumentApp.openById('...').getBody()
let para = doc.getParagraphs()[0]
let prevId = sheet.getDataRange().getValues()[0][0];
data = JSON.parse(data)
let historyId = parseInt(data.historyId)
let history = Gmail.Users.History.list("nyxgodxd#gmail.com",{"startHistoryId": `${prevId}` }).history
let threadId = history[0].messages[0].threadId
let msgId = history[0].messages[0].id
let msg = Gmail.Users.Messages.get(userId = 'me', id = `${msgId}`).snippet
let res = {historyId,threadId, msgId,msg}
para.appendText(`\n${JSON.stringify(res)}\n`)
postReq(res)
sheet.getDataRange().setValues([[`${historyId}`]])
return 200;
}

SendGrid Message ID not Found in GET /messages/{msg_id}

I am currently trying to implement SendGrid Email Activity into my application. Whenever an event fires I am able to access the info I need. When trying to look at the message corresponding to the message_id I receive the error: NOT FOUND.
I am wondering if there is a solution for this or has it not yet been created on SendGrid and how would I go about accessing the message information based on an engagement or delivery event?
Thanks
const env = require('dotenv').config();
const client = require('#sendgrid/client');
client.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY);
const eventStatus = info.event;
const customerAccountNumber = info.customerAccountNumber;
const recipient = info.email;
const messageId = info.sg_message_id;
console.log("message ID:", messageId);
try {
const request = {};
request.method = 'GET';
request.url = '/v3/messages/' + messageId;
client.request(request)
.then(([response, body]) => {
console.log(response.statusCode);
if(response.statusCode == 200) {
const messageInfo = response.body;
const sender = messageInfo.from_email;
const subject = messageInfo.subject;
console.log(eventStatus, customerAccountNumber, sender, recipient, messageId, subject);
}
else {
console.dir("Here");
}
});
}
catch(e){
console.log(e);
}
return("Test");

I believe you're getting a HTTP 404 because the URL you're putting together is wrong. Given messageId = 'foobar123', the following code
request.url = '/v3/messages/' + messageId;
will produce the request URL "/v3/messages/foobar123".
Taking a quick peek at the docs, the URL should be something more like "/v3/messages?limit=10&query={your_query}", with options for {your_query} described here.
I'm assuming you're trying to make a query such as msg_id="filter0307p1las1-16816-5A023E36-1.0". You need to pass this as URL parameter query. You'll also need to URL encode it, since it contains = and " characters. Putting all of this together, I'd try something like:
const query = `msg_id="${messageId}"`;
const request = {};
request.method = 'GET';
request.url = `/v3/messages?query=${encodeURIComponent(query)}`;
client.request(request).then(...)

node js script to act upon a constellation response

H Apologies,
This is going to be an incredibly beginner question - I have been trying to figure this out on my own this afternoon. I am only beginning coding in js for the first time today.
I am trying to create a script that will monitor Mixer's constellation server, receive a response when a stream goes live. (I have this bit working fine and when the streamer goes online it send a true message, when the streamer goes offline i get false).
const Carina = require('carina').Carina;
const ws = require('ws');
Carina.WebSocket = ws;
const channelId = xxxxxx;
const ca = new Carina({ isBot: true }).open();
ca.subscribe(`channel:${channelId}:update`, data => {
console.log(data.online);
});
I then would like it to trigger a POST query to using the maker script part of IFTTT to trigger an event there (such as flash my lights when my favourite streamer goes online) - I also have this script working fine!
var request = require("request");
request({
uri:
"https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/streaming/with/key/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
method: "POST",
}, function(error, response, body) {
console.log(body);
});
Problem I have, is I have zero knowledge of js, as to have to merge the 2 together, so that when I receive a 'true' response from the Mixer constellation server, it runs the second part of the script.
I hope that you go easy on my lack of knowledge and I look thank you for your assistance.

i think you have to simply use a function in callback of another function like this:
const Carina = require('carina').Carina;
const ws = require('ws');
Carina.WebSocket = ws;
const channelId = xxxxxx;
const ca = new Carina({ isBot: true }).open();
var request = require("request");
ca.subscribe(`channel:${channelId}:update`, data => {
if(data.online){
request({
uri:
"https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/streaming/with/key/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
method: "POST",
}, function(error, response, body) {
console.log(body);
});
}
});

Request for api not working properly

I'm making a request but it doesn't seem to work. If I copy code into my browser it works good, but in my console it shows up this :
{
"status" : "success",
"data" : {
"error_message" : "API access enabled, but unable to verify two-factor authentication code. If you need help with this, please contact support#bitskins.com."
}
}
What am I doing wrong? It's based on two-factor authentication that as I said works good while printing the url itself and when i'm copying it into my browser.
var url = 'https://bitskins.com/api/v1/get_item_price/?api_key='+bitskins.apikey+'&code='+bitskins.code+'&names='+encodeURIComponent(items[i].market_hash_name)+'&delimiter=!END!';
console.log(url);
request(url, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error) {
console.log(body)
}
});
In case you want, here is my api key module to generating it (api key deleted for security)
var TOTP = require('onceler').TOTP;
//Create a TOTP object with your secret
var totp = new TOTP('deleted');
// print out a code that's valid right now
// console.log(totp.now());
var code = totp.now();
module.exports = {
code: code,
apikey: 'deleted'
}

Founder of BitSkins, Inc. here. You need to have the following:
1) Your API Key
2) Your Secure Access Secret
You see the Secret when you enable Secure Access. If you do not have this, just disable/re-enable Secure Access and note the Secret down. The TOTP code you generate is with that Secret. Generate the TOTP code right before every API call and you'll be fine.

I think it should work. For me it works fine.
var API_KEY = ''; //It is very important
var SECRET_KEY = ''; //It is very important
var totp = new TOTP(SECRET_KEY);
var code = totp.now();
var options = {
url: 'https://bitskins.com/api/v1/get_item_price',
form: {
'api_key': API_KEY,
'names': 'Tec-9%20%7C%20Sandstorm%20(Minimal%20Wear)',
'delimiter': '!END!',
'code': code
}
};
function callback(error, response, body) {
if (!error) {
var info = JSON.parse(body);
console.log(info);
}
}
request.post(options, callback);

What npm package do you use to create 2FA code? I'm using "onceler" from example but I think it creates wrond codes. Here is my code:
var API_KEY = ''; //correct key from settings page
var SECRET_KEY = ''; // correct key which I copied from form with QR code.
var totp = new TOTP("SECRET_KEY");
var code = totp.now();
This code doesn't equal code which I can see in my mobile device and with this code I get error message like in author's question. But if I put code from my mobile in programm code - it works fine. So what package should I use to get correct codes?
