JavaScript helps with conditional syntax

I have a function that calls an API (let's call it API-1) to get the song lyrics.
Since this API sometimes can't find a song in its database, I want to call another API (let's call it API-2) to do the same search.
I need to integrate the code of both APIs inside the function, when the first one doesn't get data.
I tell you some very important information:
In API-1 I must force the data to be fetched as XML and the responseType must be 'document'.
API-2 does not require any of the above conditions, the data is parced as JSON and the responseType it supports is 'text', but does not require it to be set, with 'document' it DOES NOT work, it gives error.
Now I will share the function code for API-1 and then I will share the same function code for API-2.
They both work perfect if I test them independently.
The help I am asking for is to integrate API-2 when API-1 does not fetch data.
Code using API-1
this.refreshLyric = function (currentSong, currentArtist) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest;
xhr.open('GET', proxy_URL + api_URL + 'apiv1.asmx/SearchLyricDirect?artist=' + currentArtistE + '&song=' + ucwords(currentSongE), true);
// ONLY FOR THIS XMLHttpRequest responseType must be empty string or 'document'
xhr.responseType = 'document';
// ONLY FOR THIS XMLHttpRequest force the response to be parsed as XML
xhr.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
xhr.onload = function () {
if (xhr.readyState === xhr.DONE && xhr.status === 200) {
var openLyric = document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0];
var lyric = xhr.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('Lyric')[0].innerHTML;
//check if any data was obtained
if (lyric != '') {
document.getElementById('lyric').innerHTML = lyric.replace(/\n/g, '<br />');
openLyric.style.opacity = "1";
openLyric.setAttribute('data-toggle', 'modal');
} else { /////// HERE INTEGRATE API-2 //////
openLyric.style.opacity = "0.3";
openLyric.removeAttribute('data-toggle');
var modalLyric = document.getElementById('modalLyrics');
modalLyric.style.display = "none";
modalLyric.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true');
(document.getElementsByClassName('modal-backdrop')[0]) ? document.getElementsByClassName('modal-backdrop')[0].remove(): '';
}
} else {
document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0].style.opacity = "0.3";
document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0].removeAttribute('data-toggle');
}
};
xhr.send();
}
The same code using API-2
this.refreshLyric = function (currentSong, currentArtist) {
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState === 4 && this.status === 200) {
var data = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
var openLyric = document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0];
var lyric = data.mus[0].text;
//check if any data was obtained
if (lyric != '') {
document.getElementById('lyric').innerHTML = lyric.replace(/\n/g, '<br />');
openLyric.style.opacity = "1";
openLyric.setAttribute('data-toggle', 'modal');
} else {
openLyric.style.opacity = "0.3";
openLyric.removeAttribute('data-toggle');
var modalLyric = document.getElementById('modalLyrics');
modalLyric.style.display = "none";
modalLyric.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true');
(document.getElementsByClassName('modal-backdrop')[0]) ? document.getElementsByClassName('modal-backdrop')[0].remove(): '';
}
} else {
document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0].style.opacity = "0.3";
document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0].removeAttribute('data-toggle');
}
}
xhttp.open('GET', 'https://api.vagalume.com.br/search.php?apikey=' + API_KEY + '&art=' + currentArtist + '&mus=' + currentSong.toLowerCase(), true);
xhttp.send()
}
The shared codes are of the SAME function (this.refreshLyric), what has to be integrated is only the XMLHttpRequest API.
In the ELSE of line 23 of API-1 I must integrate the code of API-2.
I have already tried it in several ways but I am presented with syntax problems with the IF - ELSE conditionals and errors with the API-2 which is getting the responseType and the MimeType of API-1.

EDIT
FIXED: When API-1 cannot find the lyric, I have created a new function that calls API-2. refreshLyric2(currentSong, currentArtist); :)
this.refreshLyric = function (currentSong, currentArtist) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest;
xhr.open('GET', proxy_URL + api_URL + 'apiv1.asmx/SearchLyricDirect?artist=' + currentArtistE + '&song=' + ucwords(currentSongE), true);
// ONLY FOR THIS XMLHttpRequest responseType must be empty string or 'document'
xhr.responseType = 'document';
// ONLY FOR THIS XMLHttpRequest force the response to be parsed as XML
xhr.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
xhr.onload = function () {
if (xhr.readyState === xhr.DONE && xhr.status === 200) {
var openLyric = document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0];
var lyric = xhr.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('Lyric')[0].innerHTML;
//check if any data was obtained
if (lyric != '') {
document.getElementById('lyric').innerHTML = lyric.replace(/\n/g, '<br />');
openLyric.style.opacity = "1";
openLyric.setAttribute('data-toggle', 'modal');
} else {
//If lyric was not obtained, we call API-2
refreshLyric2(currentSong, currentArtist);
}
} else {
document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0].style.opacity = "0.3";
document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0].removeAttribute('data-toggle');
}
};
xhr.send();
}
refreshLyric2 = function (currentSong, currentArtist) {
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState === 4 && this.status === 200) {
var data = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
var openLyric = document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0];
var lyric = data.mus[0].text;
//check if any data was obtained
if (lyric != '') {
document.getElementById('lyric').innerHTML = lyric.replace(/\n/g, '<br />');
openLyric.style.opacity = "1";
openLyric.setAttribute('data-toggle', 'modal');
} else {
openLyric.style.opacity = "0.3";
openLyric.removeAttribute('data-toggle');
var modalLyric = document.getElementById('modalLyrics');
modalLyric.style.display = "none";
modalLyric.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true');
(document.getElementsByClassName('modal-backdrop')[0]) ? document.getElementsByClassName('modal-backdrop')[0].remove(): '';
}
} else {
document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0].style.opacity = "0.3";
document.getElementsByClassName('lyrics')[0].removeAttribute('data-toggle');
}
}

Use JavaScript to write data in a text file

I'm working on a project to make sure that users finish a video. I would like to have it just add something like "user has finished video" to an already existing text file.
Here is what I have in my JavaScript file.
var video = document.getElementById("video");
var timeStarted = -1;
var timePlayed = 0;
var duration = 0;
// If video metadata is laoded get duration
if (video.readyState > 0)
getDuration.call(video);
//If metadata not loaded, use event to get it
else {
video.addEventListener('loadedmetadata', getDuration);
}
// remember time user started the video
function videoStartedPlaying() {
timeStarted = new Date().getTime() / 1000;
}
function videoStoppedPlaying(event) {
// Start time less then zero means stop event was fired vidout start event
if (timeStarted > 0) {
var playedFor = new Date().getTime() / 1000 - timeStarted;
timeStarted = -1;
// add the new ammount of seconds played
timePlayed += playedFor;
}
document.getElementById("played").innerHTML = Math.round(timePlayed) + "";
// Count as complete only if end of video was reached
if (timePlayed >= duration && event.type == "ended") {
document.getElementById("status").className = "complete";
}
}
function getDuration() {
duration = video.duration;
document.getElementById("duration").appendChild(new Text(Math.round(duration) + ""));
console.log("Duration: ", duration);
}
video.addEventListener("play", videoStartedPlaying);
video.addEventListener("playing", videoStartedPlaying);
video.addEventListener("ended", videoStoppedPlaying);
video.addEventListener("pause", videoStoppedPlaying);
var data = "This user has finished the video";
var url = "data.php";
var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
http.open("POST", url, true);
//sends hearder info along with the request
http.setRequestHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
http.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
alert(http.responseText);
}
}
http.send(data);
and Data.php has
<?php
$data = $_POST['data'];
$file = fopen('names.txt', 'a');
fwrite($file, $data);
fclose($file);
?>
As of now, there are no errors in the console, but it does not write the data to the text file.
Please let me know what i'm doing wrong

Since you are using http.setRequestHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");, the request expects the data to be formatted like serialized HTML form data. Change the following line to provide the data in the proper format:
var data = "data=This%20user%20has%20finished%20the%20video";

Can't upload large files using XHR and FormData

I have created simple script using XMLHttpRequest. It sends text and (optionally) file. It works but problem is that large files (above 50MB) are not accepted. I thought that problem was with PHP's upload_max_filesize or post_max_size but it doesn't (I set it up 512MB). I don't know what to do now... Any ideas?
function publishPost() {
if (!event) { event = window.event; }
event.preventDefault();
var data = new FormData();
data.append('SelectedFile', document.querySelector('#post input').files[0]);
var x = new XMLHttpRequest();
x.open('POST', 'upload.php', true);
x.setRequestHeader('TEXT', post.innerHTML);
x.onload = function() {
if (x.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
if (x.responseText == '1') {
location.reload();
} else {
alert('Error: ' + x.responseText);
}
}
}
x.send(data);
}
And PHP:
$text = strip_tags($_SERVER['HTTP_TEXT']);
$file = $_FILES['SelectedFile']['name'];
$info = pathinfo($file);
$uniqid = uniqid();
if (!empty($file)) {
$newfile = '../files/'.$uniqid.'.'.$info['extension'];
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['SelectedFile']['tmp_name'], $newfile)) {
$file = $uniqid.'.'.$info['extension'];
}
}
// Adding to Database
My error is Undefined index: SelectedFile

JavaScript upload progress bar with xhr.status error 500, but one file loads

I've got a problem with a script that is used to upload one or more multipart/form-data files.
On my client's server, when I try to upload more than one file, I receive:
xhr.status error 500;
The first file is uploaded okay, but I can't upload more than 1 file. On my server, everything works fine - there is no error 500.
I have searched the web for help, but I could only find information about server problems, such as: can not accept POST, GET, OPTIONS...
But it's working with one file - and I'm stuck.
I tried to upload the files one by one, but then my progress bar is flashing like....
Here is my code:
$(document).ready( function() {
$(".errorNotice").hide();
});
var form = document.getElementById('upload-form');
var ident = document.getElementById('ident');
var fileSelect = document.getElementById('file-select');
var uploadButton = document.getElementById('submit');
var max = document.getElementById('max');
var formUrl = form.action;
function sleep(milliseconds) {
setTimeout(function(){ return true; }, milliseconds);
}
form.onsubmit = function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
uploadButton.innerHTML = 'Trwa ładowanie...';
$("#upload-form").fadeOut();
setTimeout(function() {
$("#progressBar").fadeIn();
}, 500);
var files = fileSelect.files;
var formData = new FormData();
if( files.length > max.value) {
if( max.value == 1) {
var text = max.value + ' zdjęcie';
}
else if( max.value >1 && max.value <= 4) {
var text = max.value + ' zdjęcia';
}
else {
var text = max.value + ' zdjęć';
}
$("#progressBar").find("p").html('Możesz dodać maksymalnie: ' + text);
setTimeout(function() {
$("#progressBar").hide();
$("#upload-form").fadeIn();
}, 5000);
return false;
}
if( files.length == 0 )
{
$("#progressBar").hide();
$("#upload-form").show();
}
formData.append('ident', ident.value);
formData.append('modules', 'true');
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
var file = files[i];
if (!file.type.match('image.*')) {
continue;
}
formData.append('objectPhoto[]', file, file.name);
formData.append(name, file, file.name);
}
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', formUrl , true);
xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress", function(e) {
if(e.lengthComputable) {
var percentage = Math.round((e.loaded * 100) / e.total);
document.getElementById("bar").style.width = percentage + '%';
document.getElementById("percent").innerHTML = percentage + '%';
}
}, false);
xhr.onload = function () {
console.log(this.responseText);
if(this.responseText == "ok") {
document.getElementById("percent").innerHTML = "Zakończono";
document.getElementById("progressBar").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("upload-form").style.display = "block";
} else {
$(".errorNotice").show();
$(".errorNotice .error-text").html(this.responseText);
}
if (xhr.status === 200) {
uploadButton.innerHTML = 'Wgraj';
} else {
$(".errorNotice").show();
$(".errorNotice .error-text").html("Wystąpił nieoczekiwany błąd o kodzie: " + xhr.status);
uploadButton.innerHTML = 'Wyślij';
}
};
xhr.send(formData);
return false;
};

phonegap Ajax Call returns error=undefined in android device
