POST method through node.js

I am writing a simple node.js for a REST API call to create object through POST method and get the response code. But while running the script I get "0 passing" .
Here is my code:
var request = require("request");
var options = { method: 'POST',
url: 'https://example.org',
headers:
{ 'content-type': 'application/vnd.nativ.mio.v1+json',
authorization: 'Basic hashedTokenHere' },
//body: '{\n\n"name": "My JS TEST",\n"type": "media-asset"\n\n}'
};
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
if(error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(response.statusCode, body);
}
});
Can anyone help to to run it successfully and get the response code?
Thanks!

I calling my local API hope this will make thing get clear. It's work for me
This my API
var express = require('express')
var router = express.Router()
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app=express()
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.post('/api',function(req,res)
{
res.status(200).send(req.body.name+"hi");
})
app.listen(8080,function(){
console.log("start");
})
Now, through Request, i will request this post method
var request = require('request');
// Set the headers
var headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Super Agent/0.0.1',
'Content-type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + auth,
}
var postData = {
name: 'test',
value: 'test'
}
// Configure the request
var options = {
url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/api',
method: 'POST',
json: true,
headers: headers,
body: postData
}
// Start the request
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
// Print out the response body and head
console.log("body = "+body+" head= "+response.statusCode)
}
})

Node HTTP POST Request to Netatmo

I'm trying to do a http POST request to my Netatmo weatherstation's cloud using NodeJS. It really needs to be http post and not use the node's 'request' module, because I indend to use it in AWS Lambda and that module is currently not supported there.
Whatever I try, I get the dreaded {"error":"invalid_request"} with result 400.. I am at a loss as to what the problem is.
Here's my snippet:
var querystring = require('querystring');
var https = require('https');
function getNetatmoData(callback, cardTitle){
var sessionAttributes = {};
var shouldEndSession = false;
cardTitle = "Welcome";
var speechOutput ="";
var repromptText ="";
console.log("sending request to netatmo...")
var payload = querystring.stringify({
'grant_type' : 'password',
'client_id' : clientId,
'client_secret' : clientSecret,
'username' : userId,
'password' : pass,
'scope' : 'read_station'
});
var options = {
host: 'api.netatmo.net',
path: '/oauth2/token',
method: 'POST',
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(payload)
};
//console.log('making request with data: ',options);
var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
console.log("statusCode: ", res.statusCode);
console.log("headers: ", res.headers);
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log("body: " + chunk);
});
res.on('error', function (chunk) {
console.log('Error: '+chunk);
});
res.on('end', function() {
speechOutput = "Request successfuly processed."
console.log(speechOutput);
repromptText = ""
//callback(sessionAttributes, buildSpeechletResponse(cardTitle, speechOutput, repromptText, shouldEndSession));
});
});
req.on('error', function(e){console.log('error: '+e)});
req.write(payload);
req.end();
}
Here's Cloud9's console log:
Debugger listening on port 15454
sending request to netatmo...
statusCode: 400
headers: { server: 'nginx',
date: 'Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:30:25 GMT',
'content-type': 'application/json',
'content-length': '27',
connection: 'close',
'cache-control': 'no-store',
'access-control-allow-origin': '*' }
body: {"error":"invalid_request"}
Request successfuly processed.

Aarrgh.. I oversaw something. Apparently, the headers need to be set in the options when making the request. It is in the headers variable that the Content-Type and Content-Length are set.
Without further adue, here is the correct working of the options variable :
var options = {
host: 'api.netatmo.net',
path: '/oauth2/token',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(payload)
}
};

How to extract data from XML using node.js

how to extract data from XML type rest API using node.js?
This is the code i used to get data by sending rest api request:
//Load the request module
var request = require('request');
//Lets configure and request
request(
{
url: 'http://nemo.sonarqube.org/api/resources?resource=DEV:Fabrice%20Bellingard:org.codehaus.sonar:sonar&metrics=ncloc,coverage', //URL to hit
method: 'GET', //Specify the method
headers: { //We can define headers too
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + new Buffer( 'admin' + ':'+'admin').toString('base64'),
'Content-Type': 'MyContentType',
'Custom-Header': 'Custom Value'
}
},
function(error, response, body){
if(error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
var obj=JSON.parse(response.body);
console.log(obj.id);
}
}
)
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var server = app.listen(3000,function (){
console.log('port 3000');
}
);
When I send the request using a browser, the result appears like:
<resources>
<resource>
<id>400009</id>
<key>DEV:Fabrice Bellingard:org.codehaus.sonar:sonar</key>
<name>SonarQube</name>
<lname>SonarQube</lname>
<scope>PRJ</scope>
<qualifier>DEV_PRJ</qualifier>
<date>2015-08-04T13:10:57+0000</date>
<creationDate/>
<copy>48569</copy>
<msr>
<key>ncloc</key>
<val>879.0</val>
<frmt_val>879</frmt_val>
</msr>
<msr>
<key>coverage</key>
<val>81.8</val>
<frmt_val>81.8%</frmt_val>
</msr>
</resource>
</resources>
I want to extract the id and print it on the console using node.js.
How I want to edit the above code?

The problem is response.body is in array format, so get the first item in the array and then its id value
//Load the request module
var request = require('request');
//Lets configure and request
request({
url: 'http://nemo.sonarqube.org/api/resources?resource=DEV:Fabrice%20Bellingard:org.codehaus.sonar:sonar&metrics=ncloc,coverage', //URL to hit
method: 'GET', //Specify the method
headers: { //We can define headers too
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + new Buffer('admin' + ':' + 'admin').toString('base64'),
'Content-Type': 'MyContentType',
'Custom-Header': 'Custom Value'
}
}, function (error, response, body) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
var arr = JSON.parse(response.body);
var obj = arr[0];
console.log(obj.id);
}
})
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var server = app.listen(3000, function () {
console.log('port 3000');;
});

Unable to POST data in node.js script

I am requesting a https post method with a data but my data is not going with the request and thats why service is giving error, so how can i change my code so that it will get to the server , here is my code
var https = require('https');
var querystring = require('querystring');
connect();
function connect(){
var postData = querystring.stringify({
'application': 'QF2',
'client': 'COMMAND',
'userId': 'devicexxx',
'operation': 'at-cmd',
'payload': 'dfdfdfdf',
'messageId': '123e454567-e89b-12d3-a456-42665544'
});
var options = {
hostname: 'cus.inco.com',
port: 443,
path: '/portal/action/dev',
method: 'POST',
rejectUnauthorized: false,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Content-Length': postData.length
}
};
var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
console.log("statusCode: ", res.statusCode);
//console.log("headers: ", res.headers);
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function(d) {
console.log(d)
});
});
req.end();
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.error(e);
});
}

You need to write() your POST data before you end the request.
req.write(postData);
req.end();

Steps to send a https request to a rest service in Node js

What are the steps to send a https request in node js to a rest service?
I have an api exposed like (Original link not working...)
How to pass the request and what are the options I need to give for this API like
host, port, path and method?

just use the core https module with the https.request function. Example for a POST request (GET would be similar):
var https = require('https');
var options = {
host: 'www.google.com',
port: 443,
path: '/upload',
method: 'POST'
};
var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
});
});
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
// write data to request body
req.write('data\n');
req.write('data\n');
req.end();

The easiest way is to use the request module.
request('https://example.com/url?a=b', function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
console.log(body);
}
});

Note if you are using https.request do not directly use the body from res.on('data',... This will fail if you have a large data coming in chunks. So you need to concatenate all the data and then process the response in res.on('end'. Example -
var options = {
hostname: "www.google.com",
port: 443,
path: "/upload",
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(post_data)
}
};
//change to http for local testing
var req = https.request(options, function (res) {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
var body = '';
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
body = body + chunk;
});
res.on('end',function(){
console.log("Body :" + body);
if (res.statusCode !== 200) {
callback("Api call failed with response code " + res.statusCode);
} else {
callback(null);
}
});
});
req.on('error', function (e) {
console.log("Error : " + e.message);
callback(e);
});
// write data to request body
req.write(post_data);
req.end();

Using the request module solved the issue.
// Include the request library for Node.js
var request = require('request');
// Basic Authentication credentials
var username = "vinod";
var password = "12345";
var authenticationHeader = "Basic " + new Buffer(username + ":" + password).toString("base64");
request(
{
url : "https://133-70-97-54-43.sample.com/feedSample/Query_Status_View/Query_Status/Output1?STATUS=Joined%20school",
headers : { "Authorization" : authenticationHeader }
},
function (error, response, body) {
console.log(body); } );

Since there isn't any example with a ´GET´ method here is one.
The catch is that the path in the options Object should be set to '/' in order to send the request correctly
const https = require('https')
const options = {
hostname: 'www.google.com',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Accept': 'plain/html',
'Accept-Encoding': '*',
}
}
const req = https.request(options, res => {
console.log(`statusCode: ${res.statusCode}`);
console.log('headers:', res.headers);
res.on('data', d => {
process.stdout.write(d)
})
})
req.on('error', error => {
console.error(`Error on Get Request --> ${error}`)
})
req.end()

The example using 'GET' method is good but it can also be used with constant variables in TypeScript/Node.js setup. If that's the case, the functions on('error') and end() have to be defined outside of the https.request function.
const https = require('https')
const options = {
hostname: 'www.google.com',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Accept': 'plain/html',
'Accept-Encoding': '*',
}
}
const request = https.request(options, res => {
const callback = (data: string) => {
process.stdout.write(`response data: ${data}`);
}
res.on('data', callback)
})
request.on('error', error => {
console.error(`Error on Get Request --> ${error}`)
})
request.end()
