Message saying [Ljava.lang.Object] being delivered in place of values

I'm trying to collect tweets from Twitter API V2:
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tweets/timelines/api-reference/get-users-id-tweets
The script I'm using to send the tweet value data to a Google Sheets cell is:
function TwitterTest() {
var string_Screen_name = "1310800524619386880";
var string_Consumer_key = "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA";
var string_Consumer_secret = "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB";
var tokenUrl = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token";
var tokenCredential = Utilities.base64EncodeWebSafe(string_Consumer_key + ":" + string_Consumer_secret);
var tokenOptions = {
headers : {
Authorization: "Basic " + tokenCredential,
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8"
},
method: "post",
payload: "grant_type=client_credentials"
};
var responseToken = UrlFetchApp.fetch(tokenUrl, tokenOptions);
var parsedToken = JSON.parse(responseToken);
var token = parsedToken.access_token;
var apiUrl = "";
var responseApi = "";
var apiOptions = {
headers : {
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + token
},
"method" : "get"
};
var apiUrl = 'https://api.twitter.com/2/users/'+ string_Screen_name +'/tweets?expansions=attachments.poll_ids,attachments.media_keys,author_id,entities.mentions.username,geo.place_id,in_reply_to_user_id,referenced_tweets.id,referenced_tweets.id.author_id&tweet.fields=attachments,author_id,context_annotations,conversation_id,created_at,entities,geo,id,in_reply_to_user_id,lang,possibly_sensitive,public_metrics,referenced_tweets,reply_settings,source,text,withheld&user.fields=created_at,description,entities,id,location,name,pinned_tweet_id,profile_image_url,protected,public_metrics,url,username,verified,withheld&place.fields=contained_within,country,country_code,full_name,geo,id,name,place_type&poll.fields=duration_minutes,end_datetime,id,options,voting_status&media.fields=duration_ms,height,media_key,preview_image_url,type,url,width,public_metrics,non_public_metrics,organic_metrics,promoted_metrics';
responseApi = UrlFetchApp.fetch(apiUrl, apiOptions);
var obj_data = JSON.parse(responseApi.getContentText());
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Tweets").getRange("A3").setValue(obj_data.data);
}
The result obtained:
{attachments={media_keys=[Ljava.lang.Object;#1152e2a4}, entities={urls=[Ljava.lang.Object;#1373921e}, possibly_sensitive=false, conversation_id=1402411015724175370, public_metrics={like_count=1, reply_count=0, quote_count=0, retweet_count=0}, created_at=2021-06-08T23:43:36.000Z, source=Twitter Web App, id=1402411015724175370, text=ALERT: New high roller bet posted!
A parlay bet has been placed for $5,403.62 to win $6,241.18.
To view this bet or copy it https:// t.co /lrBXjHN0At https:// t.co /nBPMsgXI2g, author_id=1310800524619386880, lang=en, reply_settings=everyone}
Specifically in urls the result is:
urls=[Ljava.lang.Object;#1373921e}
The expected result in urls would look something like (example collected from Twitter API V2 website):

In your situation, is the following modification the result you expect?
From:
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Tweets").getRange("A3").setValue(obj_data.data);
To:
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Tweets").getRange("A3").setValue(JSON.stringify(obj_data.data));

How to pass optional parameters using fetch vanilla JS

I'm using JavaScript fetch GET method to call an API. The API returns data; however, there are optional parameters I'd like to pass in to format the data response in a different way. How do you pass optional parameters using the fetch method?
async function getText(){
let passageParam = randomPassage();
//API credit
let Url = 'https://api.esv.org/v3/passage/text?q=' + passageParam + params;
console.log(Url);
//Await - Used with Async
//Suspend function exeeuction until the Async promise settles and returns its result
let response = await fetch(Url, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'myToken'
},
params = {
'indent-poetry': False,
'include-headings': False,
'include-footnotes': False,
'include-verse-numbers': False,
'include-short-copyright': False,
'include-passage-references': False
}
});
if(response.ok){ // if HTTP-status is 200-299
// get the response body
let passage = await response.json();
populateUI(passageParam, passage.passages[0]);
//console.log(passage);
} else{
alert("HTTP-Error: " + response.status);
}
//Function to input json response to HTML
function populateUI(ref, verse){
//strip verse
document.getElementById('reference').innerHTML = ref;
document.getElementById('verse').innerHTML = verse;
}
}

When using fetch with GET, it's generally expecting parameters be sent via a Query String.
You can try something like this:
let passageParam = randomPassage();
let extraParams = '&indent-poetry=False&include-headings=False' +
'&include-footnotes=False&include-verse-numbers=False' +
'&include-short-copyright=False&include-passage-references=False';
let Url = 'https://api.esv.org/v3/passage/text?q=' + passageParam + extraParams;
console.log(Url);
Alternatively you can do something like this:
let passageParam = randomPassage();
let extraParams = {
'indent-poetry': 'False',
'include-headings': 'False',
'include-footnotes': 'False',
'include-verse-numbers': 'False',
'include-short-copyright': 'False',
'include-passage-references': 'False'
}
let Url = 'https://api.esv.org/v3/passage/text?q=' + passageParam +
'&' + (new URLSearchParams(extraParams)).toString();
console.log(Url);
And also delete the params expression.

Since you are making a GET request to a URL-EndPoint using fetch. The URL-EndPint will always return the same data format every time you call it.
And formatting a response is not in our hands in this case. To check all the response details, go to the network tab of Developer Console (do Ctrl+Shift+I), you can see the response headers and other related stuff that you have received in the response and see if any information is useful to you there itself.

Save a http request in a variable

I have manage to get an API working for a product I have started to use, I can successfully run the below code and update a record in the api's database (I have removed all the api's soap xml code to make it look cleaner), I am trying to save the output as a variable so i can then process it in php,
I am a beginner to Javascript but I cant find much help on saving the output.
If someone could point me in the right direction I would be forever grateful,
I just need to console.log output in a variable rather than in the console.
var https = require("https");
var xml =
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +
'<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">' +
'<soap:Header>' +
'</soap:Header>' +
'<soap:Body>' +
'</soap:Body>' +
'</soap:Envelope>';
var username = "";
var password = "";
var options = {
host: "",
port: 443,
method: "POST",
path: "",
// authentication headers
headers: {
'Content-Type': "text/xml; charset=utf-8",
'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(xml),
'Authorization': "Basic " + new Buffer(username + ":" + password).toString("base64"),
'SOAPAction': "",
'Accept': "application/json"
}
};
//The call
request = https.request(options, function (res) {
console.log("statusCode:", res.statusCode);
res.on("data", (d) => {
process.stdout.write(d);
});
});
request.on("error", (e) => {
console.error(e);
});
request.end(xml);

If you want to save the output, then you need to save the data from the variable that contains the output (which you have called d).
console.log("statusCode:", res.statusCode);
var data = "";
res.on("data", (d) => {
data += d;
});
res.on("end", x => {
// data is now ready
});
Note that you will probably run into the issue described in this question and you would probably be better off using an HTTP client library that natively supported promises, such as Axios.

Node.js http.request Results Back as Variable

All,
I am trying to figure out how to pass the results from an https.request in node.js code out to a variable. I have an https.request setup that correctly passes the correct information to a SOAP API and gets the correct response back. My ultimate goal is to get the output from the https.request into a variable that I can call using Express.
Here is are my code chunks.
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12" class="pull-left">
<p> TEST </p>
<p>{{soapreply}}</p>
</div>
JS:
app.post('/cucmmapper/submit', function (req, res) {
// FORM - DATA COLLECTION
var cucmpub = req.body.cucmpub;
var cucmversion = req.body.cucmversion;
var username = req.body.username;
var password = req.body.password;
var authentication = username + ":" + password;
var soapreplyx = '';
// SOAP - BUILD CALL
var https = require("https");
var headers = {
'SoapAction': 'CUCM:DB ver=' + cucmversion + ' listCss',
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + new Buffer(authentication).toString('base64'),
'Content-Type': 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'
};
// SOAP - AXL CALL
var soapBody = new Buffer('<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/11.5">' +
'<soapenv:Header/>' +
'<soapenv:Body>' +
'<ns:listCss sequence="?">' +
'<searchCriteria>' +
'<name>%</name>' +
'</searchCriteria>' +
'<returnedTags uuid="?">' +
'<name>?</name>' +
'<description>?</description>' +
'<clause>?</clause>' +
'</returnedTags>' +
'</ns:listCss>' +
'</soapenv:Body>' +
'</soapenv:Envelope>');
// SOAP - OPTIONS
var options = {
host: cucmpub, // IP ADDRESS OF CUCM PUBLISHER
port: 8443, // DEFAULT CISCO SSL PORT
path: '/axl/', // AXL URL
method: 'POST', // AXL REQUIREMENT OF POST
headers: headers, // HEADER VAR
rejectUnauthorized: false // REQUIRED TO ACCEPT SELF-SIGNED CERTS
};
// SOAP - Doesn't seem to need this line, but it might be useful anyway for pooling?
options.agent = new https.Agent(options);
// SOAP - OPEN SESSION
var req = https.request(options, function (res) {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (d) {
soapreplyx = d;
console.log("Got Data: " + d);
});
});
// SOAP - SEND AXL CALL
req.write(soapBody);
res.render('cucmmapper-results.html'), {
'title': 'CUCM 2.1',
'soapreply': soapreplyx
};
req.end();
req.on('error', function (e) {
console.error(e);
});
});
}
The line "console.log("Got Data: " + d)" is getting the correct expected reply from the API, however, I can't figure out how to get that data into my variable "soapreplyx" which changes in Express to "soapreply".
Much appreciated for any help you might have!

You're not waiting for your request to respond before you call res.render(), so the value of soapreplyx is always '', its initial value. To correct this, add an 'end' event listener on the response object passed to your https.request() callback.
You're not appending the chunks of the response to your soapreplyx variable, you're reassigning its value with each successive chunk.
let soapRequest = https.request(options, soapResponse => {
soapResponse.on('data', chunk => {
soapreplyx += chunk
})
soapResponse.on('end', () => {
return res.render('cucmmapper-results.html', {
title: 'CUCM 2.1',
soapreply: soapreplyx
})
})
})
soapRequest.write(soapBody)
soapRequest.end()

Google Classroom API 401 Error

I am trying to create a Google Classroom course using the Google Classroom API and a service account. I am currently experimenting using JavaScript and I have everything set up and working to get a list of course. I set up a JWT and request an authentication token which I receive.
{"access_token":"----ACCESS TOKEN HERE----------","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":3600}
When I use this to retrieve a user's course list (via GET) there is no problem. I receive back a proper response with a list of courses which I then display in a table.
When I try to use the same process to try to create a course (via POST), I get a 401 error:
{
"error": {
"code": 401,
"message": "The request does not have valid authentication credentials.",
"status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"
}
}
This is the code I use to authenticate:
function authenticate(callback) {
function b64EncodeUnicode(str) {
str = JSON.stringify(str);
return btoa(encodeURIComponent(str).replace(/%([0-9A-F]{2})/g, function(match, p1) {
return String.fromCharCode('0x' + p1);
}));
}
// constuct the JWT
var jwtHeader = {
"alg":"RS256",
"typ":"JWT"
}
jwtHeader = JSON.stringify(jwtHeader);
//construct the Claim
var jwtClaim = {
"iss":"psclassroomsync#psclassroomsync.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
"scope":"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.courses https://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.rosters",
"sub":"myemail#address.com", //this is an admin account I shouldn't really need this but tried with and without it
"aud":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token",
"exp":(Math.round(new Date().getTime()/1000) + 60 * 10),
"iat":Math.round(new Date().getTime()/1000)
}
jwtClaim = JSON.stringify(jwtClaim);
//construct the signature
var key="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----Removed-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n";
var jwtSign = b64EncodeUnicode(jwtSign);
var sJWT = KJUR.jws.JWS.sign("RS256", jwtHeader, jwtClaim, key);
var jwt = jwtHeader + "." + jwtClaim + "." + sJWT;
//request Token
var grantType = "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer";
var tokenRequest = "grant_type=" + grantType + "&assertion=" + sJWT;
var postURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token"
request = $j.ajax({
url: postURL,
type: "post",
data: tokenRequest,
success: callback
});
}
This is the code I use to GET the course list. (this works)
$j("#getClasses").click(function(event){
function getClasses(callback){
authenticate(function(data){
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
var access_token = data["access_token"];
var apiUrl = 'https://classroom.googleapis.com/v1/courses'
var myData = 'teacherId=~(teacheremail)&access_token='+access_token;
var files = $j.ajax({
url: apiUrl,
type: "get",
data: myData,
success: function (data) {
var retreivedClasses = JSON.stringify(data);
for(var i = 0; i < data['courses'].length; i++){
nextObject = data['courses'];
$j('#classListTable').append('<tr><td>' + nextObject[i]['name'] + '</td><td>' + nextObject[i]['courseState'] + '</td><td>' + nextObject[i]['enrollmentCode'] + '</td></tr>');
}
//$j('#classList').text(retreivedClasses);
}
});
});
}
getClasses();
});
This is the code that I use to create a course via POST. I've hard coded a few of the variables for testing but still gives the 401 error.
$j("#createClass").click(function(event){
function createClass(callback){
authenticate(function(data){
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
var access_token = data["access_token"];
var tokenInfo = $j.ajax({
url: 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo',
type: 'get',
data: "access_token="+access_token
});
var apiUrl = 'https://classroom.googleapis.com/v1/courses'
var myData = 'access_token='+access_token + '&ownerId=myemail#address.com&name=myClass'
console.log(myData);
var newGoogleClassroom = $j.ajax({
url: apiUrl,
type: "post",
data: myData,
success: function (data) {
var apiResponse = JSON.stringify(data);
$j('#classCreated').text(apiResponse);
}
});
});
};
createClass();
});
Finally, this is what I get when I get the token info. It looks fine to me i.e. proper scopes: (but I am new at this)
{
"azp": "removed",
"aud": "removed",
"scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.courses https://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom
.rosters",
"exp": "1474512198",
"expires_in": "3600",
"access_type": "offline"
}
I'd be grateful for any help.

P.S. I get the security implications of this code. It is in a secure environment for experimentation only. It won't see the light of day.

Based from this forum which is also receiving a 401 error, try to revoke the old oauth. As stated in this related thread, the 401 Unauthorized error you experienced may be related to OAuth 2.0 Authorization using the OAuth 2.0 client ID.
Suggested action: Refresh the access token using the long-lived refresh token. If this fails, direct through the OAuth flow.
