Having a hard time getting Api from localhost?

I am on this project wherein I need the api from this specific software. I cannot fetch it when I am trying to fetch it, sometimes error 404 are occuring,
sometimes no-cors policy.
Then sometimes like this: GET http://localhost:8000/events/1003/results net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
getEvents # orbiter.js:22
(anonymous) # orbiter.js:28
Then sometimes Uncaught (in promise) TypeError:
There are no authorization that needed based on the documentation or headers. Or i thought so it does not have?
But i think this is because of the way that I am fetching the API, it looks like I am doing it wrong. The API as i am trying to get on the instruction on the documentation it says i can access it on "localhost"
At first i just need to open the software to have access on the localhost so the http port will open, then i go to "localhost" then everything is on that local host
This are the picture Screenshot of The LocalHost I need to access
Now based on this I need to get the result of the event. Based on the documentation I need to go to path "localhost/events/{event-id}/results" then a json format would be send back to me.
I go to the url using browser using that path and I get the result, This are the result based on that path but this are the thing, when I am trying to put it on the code using Javascript language es6 module wherein I am fetching the api and I put the link "localhost/events/{event-id}/results"
this are the code:
const link = "http://localhost/events/1003/results";
async function getEvents() {
const response = await fetch(link);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
return data;
}
getEvents();
I cannot access now the data that I needed from the API. Even though the path on the link that I put was correct. Am i missing some steps here? That's all. As you can see, localhost is the main path, then i just follow the path based on the documentation to get the results. (Because what i need to access are the results of the events). Then errors has occurred. This are the documentation that may help you to help me. I hope some of you may help me on this one as I'm still a beginner on programming

Google Firebase httpsCallable raising net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

I am running into net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED when calling the API of my firebase project. I have tried using multiple devices, two internet connections, a VPN, Linux, macOS, Windows 11 to rule out any errors caused by my devices. When navigating to the API link on my browser it does not timeout, and I am provided with a response. The issue seems to be when using the httpsCallable function provided by Firebase. No logs of the function being called are present on firebase outside of navigating to it in a browser.
Here is my code:
const functions = firebase.functions
console.log(functions)
const loginWithCode = httpsCallable(functions, 'loginWithCode')
loginWithCode(loginPayload)
.then((result) => {
console.log(result)
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log("ERROR CAUGHT HERE")
console.log(error)
});
The output from my browser console:
service.ts:206 POST https://us-central1-%22crowd-pleaser-75fd7%22%2C.cloudfunctions.net/loginWithCode net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
App.tsx:79 ERROR CAUGHT HERE
App.tsx:80 FirebaseError: internal
The result from directly inputting the link on the firebase web interface:
{"error":{"message":"Bad Request","status":"INVALID_ARGUMENT"}}
Is there something I am missing that is creating this issue? I have scoured the internet, and StackOverflow looking for an answer, and all solutions provided have not worked. The method implemented is exactly how it is done on the Firebase docs here
Edit: It seems like the link to which my post request is being sent is formatted oddly. Maybe this could be the issue? I can't figure out why it's formatted this way though.

I found a solution to the problem. My speculation in my edit was correct, the URL to which the post request was being sent by httpsCallable was formatted incorrectly. I am unsure as to why it was being formatted this way, however, the quick solution is to set the customDomain class attribute of the object returned by getFunctions to the correct domain. In my case this was done by doing:
functions.customDomain = functions.customDomain = 'https://us-central1-crowd-pleaser-75fd7.cloudfunctions.net'
The variable 'functions' in the code above is the class attribute returned from the method getFunctions provided by Firebase

The Thing
While I'm not an expert on Firebase the problem is that you're making a wrong HTTP request with loginWithCode(loginPayload), there is nothing wrong with your code that I can see at least.
By the way, you're using:
const loginWithCode = httpsCallable(functions, 'loginWithCode')
rather than a simple const loginWithCode = httpsCallable('addMessage')
as described here: Google FireBase Docs
And then, making a loginWithCode({ text: messageText })
Also, as you can see here: Google Firebase Docs:firebase.functions.HttpsCallable
You will be able to pass any type of data to the HttpsCallable function, so we end at the start point: you're making a wrong HTTP request.
As described in the HTTP answer the error is: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED this happens when a DNS request cannot be resolved, then a domain doesn't exists so this all leads to the thing that there is no way to send the HTTP request since there is not a route in the internet that was found to send it.
The Problem:
While decoding the url that you're making the HTTP request
service.ts:206 POST https://us-central1-%22crowd-pleaser-75fd7%22%2C.cloudfunctions.net/loginWithCode net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
App.tsx:79 ERROR CAUGHT HERE
App.tsx:80 FirebaseError: internal
You will find that you're sending the HTTP request to:
https://us-central1-"crowd-pleaser-75fd7",.cloudfunctions.net/loginWithCode
As you can see, you will find that when making the HTTP request it will be a problem: since you cannot put "crowd-pleaser-75fd7", in the URL to make the HTTP request. That is generating the error net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
I'm not sure what exactly are you trying to do, but I think that the correct URL to the HTTP request should be:
https://us-central1-crowd-pleaser-75fd7.cloudfunctions.net/loginWithCode
With this URL the HTTP request must pass, at least. And I suggest then check the loginPayload in order to fix this.

How to handle CORS error, while fetching firebase realtime database API in vue project?

I am using vue-2.And want to do shallow query for firebase realtime database by fetching API.But While running on development server ,it shows CORS blocked. What should I do?
PS: I am also using vuefire
created(){
var apiUrl = 'https://console.firebase.google.com/u/4/project/enajori-45094/database/enajori-45094/data/Admin/Data%20Collection/Paying%20Guest';
fetch(apiUrl).then(response => {
return response.json();
}).then(data => {
console.log(data);
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
}
Cors error i am receiving

Firebase REST-Api only reacts to HTTPS-Requests. If your localhost doesen't have SSL enabled your requests will fail no matter what your try. The URI also need to end with the the table's name like something.json
And you realy should use the Firebase SDK - it's the smoother way.

It's entirely unclear to me why you would want to use a URL to the Firebase console to access the database. Console URLs are for human consumption, not for programs.
You should use the provided javascript SDK to access data. It will work around CORS issues for you automatically, and give you a much cleaner way to read and write data. If you can't use the SDK, you can always try the REST API. Just don't depend on those console URLs at all.

Get JSON from website (instagram)

I recently got the idea to scrape information from instagram accounts and their posts, like the amount of comments or amount of likes. I got so far that I figured out while debugging in chrome that for example the link https://www.instagram.com/instagram/?__a under the network tab returns a JSON with the wanted information, but what is actually loaded is still the normal website html code.
so far I tried in python with this code:
import urllib.request
r = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
print(r.read())
or in javascript :
window.onload = function () {
res = fetch("https://www.instagram.com/instagram/?__a", {
method: 'get'
}).then(function (data) {
return data.json();
}).catch(function (error) {
console.log("ERROR".concat(error.toString()));
});
console.log(res.user);
};
So the problem I have, is that when using these functions I only get the website code (html), is there a way to only get the JSON which is loaded in the background? I know people will recommend me using the instagram api, but I have no website nor a company to register.

I ran into a problem trying to get the API to do what I wanted, and really just needed JSON data including urls and captions for images for a specific account.
Use the following GET request:
https://www.instagram.com/account_name/?__a=1
where account_name is the profile I'm scraping.
It returns all JSON I needed for my task.

Update 2022:
You can no longer get the JSON output by adding the query string ?__a=1.
Currently, it would help if you used the following query string to get profile information, video, and post information on Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/instagram/?__a=1&__d=dis

Trying to get the Json loaded in the background is too much work for a simple problem.
You should use the Instagram Api. Just put your name as a company.

facebook graph api node.js invalid appsecret_proof

this is my first post so please go easy on me!
I am a beginning developer working with javascript and node.js. I am trying to make a basic request from a node js file to facebook's graph API. I have signed up for their developer service using my facebook account, and I have installed the node package for FB found here (https://www.npmjs.com/package/fb). It looks official enough.
Everything seems to be working, except I am getting a response to my GET request with a message saying my appsecret_proof is invalid.
Here is the code I am using (be advised the sensitive info is just keyboard mashing).
let https = require("https");
var FB = require('fb');
FB.options({
version: 'v2.11',
appId: 484592542348233,
appSecret: '389fa3ha3fukzf83a3r8a3f3aa3a3'
});
FB.setAccessToken('f8af89a3f98a3f89a3f87af8afnafmdasfasedfaskjefzev8zv9z390fz39fznabacbkcbalanaa3fla398fa3lfa3flka3flina3fk3anflka3fnalifn3laifnka3fnaelfafi3eifafnaifla3nfia3nfa3ifla');
console.log(FB.options());
FB.api('/me',
'GET',
{
"fields": "id,name"
},
function (res) {
if(!res || res.error) {
console.log(!res ? 'error occurred' : res.error);
return;
}
console.log(res);
console.log(res.id);
console.log(res.name);
}
);
The error I am getting reads:
{ message: 'Invalid appsecret_proof provided in the API argument',
type: 'GraphMethodException',
code: 100,
fbtrace_id: 'H3pDC0OPZdK' }
I have reset my appSecret and accessToken on the developer page and tried them immediately after resetting them. I get the same error, so I don't think that stale credentials are the issue. My
console.log(FB.options())
returns an appropriate looking object that also contains a long hash for appSecretProof as expected. I have also tried this code with a number of version numbers in the options (v2.4, v2.5, v2.11, and without any version key). Facebook's documentation on this strikes me as somewhat unclear. I think I should be using v2.5 of the SDK (which the node package is meant to mimic) and making requests to v2.11 of the graph API, but ??? In any case, that wouldn't seem to explain the issue I'm having. I get a perfectly good response that says my appSecretProof is invalid when I don't specify any version number at all.
The node package for fb should be generating this appSecretProof for me, and it looks like it is doing that. My other info and syntax all seem correct according to the package documentation. What am I missing here? Thank you all so much in advance.

looks like you have required the appsecret_proof for 2 factor authorization in the advance setting in your app.
Access tokens are portable. It's possible to take an access token generated on a client by Facebook's SDK, send it to a server and then make calls from that server on behalf of the client. An access token can also be stolen by malicious software on a person's computer or a man in the middle attack. Then that access token can be used from an entirely different system that's not the client and not your server, generating spam or stealing data.
You can prevent this by adding the appsecret_proof parameter to every API call from a server and enabling the setting to require proof on all calls. This prevents bad guys from making API calls with your access tokens from their servers. If you're using the official PHP SDK, the appsecret_proof parameter is automatically added.
Please refer the below url to generate the valid appsecret_proof,and add it to each api call
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/securing-requests

I had to deal with the same issue while working with passport-facebook-token,
I finally released that the problem had nothing to have with the logic of my codebase or the app configuration.
I had this error just because I was adding intentionally an authorization Header to the request. so if you are using postman or some other http client just make sure that the request does not contain any authorization Header.
