Getting 200 as status code but blank response from api

Im trying to use nodejs request to request data from an api called keywords everywhere, their documentation didnt have anything for nodejs, but they do have bash so what I did was I converted their bash to a nodejs request. for more context, here's their documentation :
https://api.keywordseverywhere.com/docs/#/keywords/get_keywords_data
My code seems to work because its returning a status code of 200 but the problem is that it returns a blank data:
{
"data": [],
"credits": 93735,
"time": 0
}
If the request is successful it should return something like this:
{
"data": [
{
"vol": 390,
"cpc": {
"currency": "$",
"value": "5.51"
},
"keyword": "keywords tool",
"competition": 0.33,
"trend": [
{
"month": "May",
"year": 2019,
"value": 480
}]
},
"credits": 95597600,
"time": 0.02
}
Im guessing there is something wrong with my code since I used a converter and it's not reading the body request properly. Here's my code:
var headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer (API-KEY-HERE)',
'Accept': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
};
var options = {
url: 'https://api.keywordseverywhere.com/v1/get_keyword_data',
method: 'POST',
headers: headers,
body: 'dataSource=gkp&country=us&currency=USD&kw[]=keywords&kw[]=keyword'
};
function callback(error, response, body) {
console.log(response.body)
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
console.log(body);
}
}
request.post(options, callback);

the problem with your code is the body, anyway this is how the code should look like:
const request = require('request');
var options = {
'method': 'POST',
'url': 'https://api.keywordseverywhere.com/v1/get_keyword_data',
'headers': {
'Authorization': 'Bearer insertAPIKeyHere'
},
formData: {
'kw[]': 'keyword',
'country': 'us',
'currency': 'usd',
'dataSource': 'gkp'
}
};
request(options, function (error, response) {
if (error){console.log(error)};
console.log(response.body);
});

button postback messenger bot is not being recieved on heroku

I've been a little bit struggling , I'v put the button payload as follows .. but it's not being transmitted to server ,
the message object
let message = {
"attachment":{
"type" : "template",
"payload" : {
"template_type" : "generic",
"elements" : [
{
"title" : "title",
"buttons": [{
"type": "postback",
"title": "wishlist",
"payload": "wishlist"
},
],
},
],
}
}
}
and the sending function
function sendMessage(recipientId, message) {
request({
url: "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages",
qs: {access_token: process.env.PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN},
method: "POST",
sender_action :"typing_on",
json: {
recipient: {id: recipientId},
message: message,
}
}, function(error, response, body) {
if (error) {
console.log("Error sending message: " + response.error);
}
});
}

You cannot send a sender_action and message in the same request, so the recipient is never receiving your message.

When timeout and when abort occur in $http.get?

AngularJS 1.6.6 has support for differentiation between XHR completion, error, abort, timeout, I have this code snippet which make a request to a url like below:
$http.get(url, {timeout: 1000})
.then(...)
.catch(function(error) {
console.log(error.xhrStatus) // could be abort, complete, error and timeout
});
When requesting my api takes more than 1 second the promise is rejected with xhrStatus of 'abort', I was wondering in what situation I will get 'timeout' and 'error' status texts?
Edit: It would be awesome if the answer provide the relevant server side code in Web Api

"timeout" will never occur as far as I can tell since the xhr in the $httpBackend never has a timeout property set instead angular uses it's own mechanism for aborting the xhr request if the timeout ms expires or the promise passed in resolves.
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/src/ng/httpBackend.js#L165
"error" will occur if a request has been dispatched and the network connection has gone down
If a 500 or 200 comes back the status will be complete but angular will fire the success or error/catch handlers on the http promise depending on the status code.
Test result model (note I disconnected the network to get the result for test3.php, the test.html page loaded, then I disconnected the network before the setTimeout fired the get hence forcing the xhr.status to error)

i just want to get first three values that is session_name,session_id and token, And i am getting this value during post request,here is my code for parsing.
async onPressLogin() {
try {
loaderHandler.showLoader("Please wait!!!");
let response = await fetch(
'http://some_url/api/user/login', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-CSRF-Token': this.state.token,
},
body: JSON.stringify({
username: this.state.name,
password: this.state.password,
})
});
let responseText = await response.text();
let responseJson = await response.json();
if (response.status >= 200 && response.status < 300){
await AsyncStorage.setItem(SESSION_TOKEN, responseJson.token);
await AsyncStorage.setItem(SESSION_NAME,responseJson.session_name);
await AsyncStorage.setItem(SESSION_ID,responseJson.sessid);
Alert.alert('Store Token', 'Session Token'+responseJson.token)
/// Alert.alert('Server response', responseJson)
loaderHandler.hideLoader();
Actions.Documents();
}
else {
loaderHandler.hideLoader();
let error = responseText;
Alert.alert('Login', error)
}
} catch(errors) {
loaderHandler.hideLoader();
Alert.alert('Login_server', errors)
loaderHandler.hideLoader();
}
}
I am trying to store these three values in async storage for further use. Please help me tried everything but could not solve the error. Let me know if you will need any other code. Thanks
This is the error which i am getting
TypeError: expected dynamic type'string',but had type'object'

Debugging Bad Request 400 error

I'm trying to return a list of flights from Google's QPX Express API, howver I'm stumped on a bad request response:
{ StatusCodeError: 400 - {"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"global","reason":"badRequest","message":"Invalid inputs: received empty request."}],"code":400,"message":"Invalid inputs: received empty request."}}
Is there something wrong with how I'm approaching the structure of the request? I'm using the request-promise library
const options = {
method: 'POST',
uri: 'https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
qs: {
"request": {
"passengers": {
"adultCount": 1 },
"slice": [{"origin": "BOS",
"destination": "LAX",
"date": "2017-03-01"
}]
}
},
json: true
}
request(options)
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response)
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err)
})

I have solved the issue. The request needed to include the data in the body key with the content-type set to JSON.
This now returns data from the API as expected.
const options = {
method: 'POST',
uri: 'https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?&key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
body: {
"request": {
"passengers": {
"adultCount": "1"
},
"slice": [
{
"origin": "SFO",
"destination": "LAX",
"date": "2017-06-19"
}
],
"solutions": "1"
}
},
json: true
}
request(options)
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response.trips.tripOption[0].saleTotal)
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err)
})

Check it:
const options = {
method: 'POST',
uri: 'https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
qs: {
"request": {
"passengers": {
"adultCount": 1 },
"slice": [{"origin": "BOS",
"destination": "LAX",
"date": "2017-03-01"
}]
}
},
json: true
};
request(options)
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
You forgot to end the uri string. Also please don't forget the semicolons.
Edit:
Try:
request({
url: (your url here),
method: "POST",
json: requestData
},
where requestData will be your qs.
