I have been trying about a week but I couldn't make a post request to get a result.
I tried a bunch of middlewares (exp: 'request', 'axios', 'reqclient','superagent etc..) but I couldn't make it.
Please provide me a simple post request with sending API key and body.
I also read all the documentation.
Please check below to see what I want :
*Authentication API key required.
*O-Auth Scopes trades
*Input One of: user_id + token or user_url is required.
here is my one of try :
const request = require('request-promise')
const options = {
method: 'POST',
uri: 'api-site.com/Offer/v1/',
headers: {
'User-Agent': 'Request-Promise',
'Authorization': 'Basic 123123asdasd123123'
},
body: {
user_url: "site.com/user/user1234123",
otherparams: "parameter"
},
json: true
};
request(options)
.then(function (response) {
Console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log('Error ', err.message);
});
I am getting this output :
Error : 401 - {"status":401,"time":1540458426,"message":"API Key Required"}
I tried some other request post middle-wares and played with content-type (application/json. dataForm, x-www-form-urlencoded) or
changed the location of my API key from header to body or
tried my API key inside of auth{authorization: "API Key"}
tried much more.
the result didn't change. I got the same output or errors.
EDIT :
this is the link that I am trying to do but got stack :

Solved !
Everything works great. Problem was I needed to send my API Key base64 string.
Buffer.from("your_api_key_value" + ":", "ascii").toString("base64")
I am writing code that creates an email address with guerrillamail.
But, the code I created below:
var request = require('request');
var jar = request.jar();
request({
uri: 'http://api.guerrillamail.com/ajax.php',
method: 'GET',
proxy: proxy,
jar: jar,
form: {
"f": "get_email_address"
}
}, function(e, response, b) {
console.log(b);
});
Only logs :
ERR_INVALID_REQ
In body when I log it. How can I get this to work?
probably need a POST request not GET try changing the method
tl;dr I am new to JavaScript and Google Apps Script and I have no idea how to add the 'fields' property to a Google Drive v3 API call.
I am trying to modify file permissions in a G Suite domain using Google Apps Script, a service account, and the OAuth 2 sample from Google. I wrote a function for Drive API v3 to replace Drive API v2 getIdForEmail, but API v3 requires the 'fields' query parameter to request specific fields.
The error given when I run the script is:
Request failed for https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/about returned code 400. Truncated server response: { "error": { "errors": [ { "domain": "global", "reason": "required", "message": "The 'fields' parameter is required for this meth...
I found the answer in a different programming language but can't translate it to Google Apps Script / JavaScript. See Fields on the previous answer: Google Drive API v3 Migration. How do I add the 'fields' property to request 'permissionId'?
function getPermissionIdForEmail(userEmail) {
var service = getService(userEmail);
if (service.hasAccess()) {
var url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/about';
var options = {
'method': 'get',
'contentType': 'application/json'
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + service.getAccessToken()
}
});
var result = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
Logger.log('getPermissionIdForEmail result: %s', JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
} else {
Logger.log('getPermissionIdForEmail getLastError: %s', service.getLastError());
}
}
Edit: Thank you Cameron Roberts for the help. The solution I used is
var url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/about' + '?fields=user/permissionId';
I can't recall offhand if Google will accept a POST request here, if they will this could be passed as a request payload:
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + service.getAccessToken()
},
payload: {
fields: 'kind,user,storageQuota'
}
});
Or if it must be a GET request you can append the parameters directly to the url:
url = url+'?fields=kind,user,storageQuota'
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + service.getAccessToken()
}
});
So I have this code:
axios({
method: 'post',
url,
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
data: {
json,
type,
}
})
Originally I had the normal axios.post but I changed to this because I thought it might have been a header problem. However I am still detecting nothing in my $_REQUEST nor $_POST. However, it is receiving data in file_get_contents("php://input").
Any idea what is wrong?
Edit
Okay I think I know what's wrong. It's posting it as a json object so it can only be read in the php://input. How do I change it to a normal string in axios?
From the documentation (I haven't preserved links in the quoted material):
Using application/x-www-form-urlencoded format
By default, axios serializes JavaScript objects to JSON.
PHP doesn't support JSON as a data format for populating $_POST.
It only supports the machine-processable formats natively supported by HTML forms:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
multipart/form-data
To send data in the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format instead, you can use
one of the following options.
Browser
In a browser, you can use the URLSearchParams API as follows:
var params = new URLSearchParams();
params.append('param1', 'value1');
params.append('param2', 'value2');
axios.post('/foo', params);
Note that URLSearchParams is not supported by all browsers, but there
is a polyfill available (make sure to polyfill the global
environment).
Alternatively, you can encode data using the qs library:
var qs = require('qs');
axios.post('/foo', qs.stringify({ 'bar': 123 }));
Or you could customise your PHP so it can handle JSON as per this answer on another question.
var params = {
data1: 'string',
}
axios.post(url, params).then(function(response) {
//code here
});
or
axios.post(url, {data1: 'string' }).then(function(response) {
//code here
});
api
$_POST = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"),true);
echo $_POST['data1'];
To make things easier and universal if you ever decided to switch between AJAX libraries or server languages. With axios use the native JS FormData.
If you have your data in an object, you can convert it to FormData like this:
var myDataObj = {id:1, name:"blah blah"}
var formData = new FormData();
for (var key in myDataObj) {
formData.append(key, myDataObj[key])
}
Then you send the data:
axios.post('/sub/process.php', formData, {
params: { action: "update-user" },
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data' },
baseURL: 'http://localhost',
}).then(data =>
console.log(data)
).catch(err => {
console.log(err)
return null
})
Notice, you can also send some info using params in axios that you can retrieve using $_GET. Also notice that I am using the baseURL in case you have different servers for the web page and your API endpoint.
You need to understand also that before axios send the real request, it performs a preflight request. A preflight request, is a mechanism in CORS by the browser to check if the resource destination is willing to accept the real request or not. Afterall, why would a request be sent when the target host is not willing to receive it anyway?
You have to make sure that your server has the right headers for your axios request, otherwise the preflight request will detect the incompatibility and stop your request:
//this is if you are using different different origins/servers in your localhost, * to be update with the right address when it comes to production
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
//this is if you are specifying content-type in your axios request
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type");
Now, you will able to access your sent data in the $_POST variable:
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";
Additionally, axios allows you to send data in different formats. you can send a json for example like this:
axios.post('/sub/process.php', { id: "1", name:"blablah" }, {
params: { action: "update-item" },
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
baseURL: 'http://localhost',
}).then(data =>
console.log(data)
).catch(err => {
console.log(err)
return null
})
In the PHP side, this can be accessed as follows:
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"),true);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>";
Using PHP std object
Using PHP std object structure to get the variables of the post.
On the client:
axios.post(url, {id: 1 , Name:'My Name' }).then(function(response) {
console.log(response.data);
});
On the server
$obj = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
$id = $obj->id;
$Name = $obj->Name;
//test by returning the same values
$retObj=(object)["id"=>$id,"Name"=>$Name]
echo json_encode($retObj);
Both jQuery and Axios using same PHP file
if you have a file receiving post both from axios and jquery you may use:
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']==='POST' && empty($_POST)) {
$_POST = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'),true);
}
to convert the Axios json-serialized posts to the $_POST array
This code works on browser/node both today.
I think this is more practical.
I tested this code on node.js and passed the data variable to PHP8 using $_POST['param1'] and it worked perfectly.
function axqs(d){
let p = new URLSearchParams();
Object.keys(d).forEach(function(key){
p.append(key, this[key]);
}, d);
return p
}
let data = {
'param1': 'value1',
'param2': 'value2',
}
let p = axqs(data)
axios.post('/foo', p)
Just wanted to share my insights, I was facing a similar problem and solved it by the following code set
JS
const instructions_str = {
login: {
"type": "devTool",
"method": "devTool_login",
"data": {
"username": "test",
"password": "Test#the9"
}
},
tables: {
"type": "devTool",
"method": "devTool_get_all_tables",
"data": ""
}
};
const body = {
firstName: 'Fred',
lastName: 'Flintstone',
name: "John",
time: "2pm",
instructions : JSON.stringify(instructions_str)
};
function decodeData(data) {
const serializedData = []
for (const k in data) {
if (data[k]) {
serializedData.push(`${k}=${encodeURIComponent(data[k])}`)
}
}
return serializedData.join('&')
};
const body2 = decodeData(body);
axios.post('URL', body2)
.then(response => {
console.log("contextApi got it", response);
}).catch(error => {
console.log("contextApi error.response", error.response);
});
PHP
// set content return type
header('Content-Type: application/json');
// Setting up some server access controls to allow people to get information
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET');
// This way I can check and see what I sent
$postVars_array = $_POST ?? parse_str(file_get_contents("php://input"),$postVars_array) ?? [];
echo json_encode($postVars_array);
I also found this github page very helpful https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/1195
This seems very similar to a number of other questions and it seems obvious that the error indicates there's something wrong with my JSON payload. But I'm at a loss as to why.
I'm running a Google Apps Script to test sending a message to Google Firebase Cloud Messaging.
My code:
function SendGCMessage() {
var url = "https://gcm-http.googleapis.com/gcm/send";
var apiKey = "AbCdEfG";
var to = "ZyXwVuT:ToKeNtOkEnToKeNtOkEnToKeNtOkEn"
var payload = {
"data": {
"message" : "This is the message"
},
"to":to
};
var sendCount = 1;
var headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "key=" + apiKey
};
var params = {
headers: headers,
method: "post",
payload: payload
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);
return {message: "send completed: " + response.getContentText()};
}
When I run this in debug mode, the object payload looks fine - like a normal Javascript object. params as well. UrlFetchApp takes a Javascript object, not a String in JSON notation. However I did try "JSON.stringify(params)" and I got an error. What did I do wrong?
Note: params looks like this when I pause it in the debugger:
{"headers":{"Content-Type":"application/json","Authorization":"key=AbCdEfG"},"method":"post","payload":{"data":{"message":"This
is the message"},"to":"ZyXwVuT:ToKeNtOkEnToKeNtOkEnToKeNtOkEn"}}
I discovered the problem, thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/a/10894233/3576831
the 'payload' parameter must be a string as specified here:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/class_urlfetchapp?hl=fr-FR#fetch.
Adjusting this section of the script works:
var params = {
headers: headers,
method: "post",
payload: JSON.stringify(payload)
};
