Google script fetching API with trigger but not resulting real time data

I have a Google script trigger for tracking the plugin's version from all my wp websites by fetching an API from each website, I also attach the "last update" time to see the last time the API was called.
but when my trigger runs, it keeps resulting in the same data since the first call, even when I add/delete new plugins. From the error catch, the function runs smoothly but the result doesn't there.
why is it? do google script store the data? or is there any limitation in fetching API data?
edit
here's the code of the function to fetch the API and the trigger function
function teste()
{
var all_data = getDataFromPluginList()
/*return
[ { first_cell: 'A2',
last_cell: 'I8',
first_row: 2,
last_row: 8,
total_row: 7,
url: 'https://example1.wpengine.com/' },
{ first_cell: 'A10',
last_cell: 'I15',
first_row: 9,
last_row: 14,
total_row: 6,
url: 'https://example2.wpengine.com/' } ]
*/
for (var i = 0; i < all_data.length; i++) {
trigger_(all_data[i].url, all_data[i].first_row, all_data[i].last_row, all_data[i].total_row);
}
}
function trigger_(url, first_row, last_row, total_row)
{
var new_trigger = ScriptApp.newTrigger("writePluginData").timeBased().everyMinutes(1).create();
var trigger_id = new_trigger.getUniqueId();
PropertiesService.getUserProperties().setProperty(trigger_id, url+","+first_row+","+last_row+","+ total_row);
}
function writePluginData(event)
{
var trig = ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers();
let sheet_name = 'trigger_result';
let lowest_row = lowestRow(sheet_name);
for(var i =0; i<trig.length; i++)
{
if(trig[i].getUniqueId()== event.triggerUid )
{
var urlParam = PropertiesService.getUserProperties().getProperty(event.triggerUid);
urlParam = urlParam.split(",");
var url = urlParam[0];
var first_row = urlParam[1];
var last_row = urlParam[2];
var total_row = urlParam[3];
var new_first_row = 0;
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName(sheet_name); // change accordingly
var data = ListPlugins(url);
for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
let empty = ''
data[i].push(empty);
}
if(total_row != data[0][7]){
ss.deleteRows(first_row, first_row);
ss.getRange(lowest_row + 1 , 1,data[0][7],9).setValues(data);
} else {
ss.getRange(first_row, 1,total_row,9).setValues(data);
}
}
}
}
function ListPlugins(url) {
let sheet_name = 'apps and plugins'
var options = {
"async": true,
"crossDomain": true,
"method" : "GET",
"headers" : {
"Token" : TOKEN_HERE,
"cache-control": "no-cache"
}
};
var urlEncoded = encodeURI(url)
let api_url = urlEncoded + "/wp-json/bd/v1/public/plugin-list/"
var jsondata = UrlFetchApp.fetch(api_url,options)
var object = JSON.parse(jsondata.getContentText())
if(object){
return object;
} else {
return "not found"
}
}
and the result data would be like this

For loop not iterating a variable

I'm just learning javascript and I'm trying to update woocommerce products through GAS.
The issue in question is the following:
I have a variable that parses the response from woocommerce
for (let sku of skuSearch) {
var surl = website + "/wp-json/wc/v3/products?consumer_key=" + ck + "&consumer_secret=" + cs + "&sku=" + sku;
var url = surl
Logger.log(url)
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, optionsGet);
if (result.getResponseCode() == 200) {
var wooProducts = JSON.parse(result.getContentText());
Logger.log(result.getContentText());
}
Then I have another for to iterate and from a new array that contains id + sku of wooProducts and price from a different variable that takes the updated price from my sheet:
var idLength = wooProducts.length;
Logger.log(idLength);
for (var i = 0; i < idLength; i++) {
var container = [];
Logger.log(i);
container.push({
id: wooProducts[i]["id"],
sku: wooProducts[i]["sku"],
price: data[i]["price"],
});
I can't tell exactly why it doesn't work. I mean the for loop works, it pushes id, sku and price in every loop, it's just that data[i] only provides the first ¿object? instead of looping like wooProducts which add +1 at every loop.
I'll copy 3 loops so it's crystal clear, I'm not sure it's already clear.
Loop 1:
[{"id":1622,"sku":"PD-1000-B","price":8145.9}]
Loop 2:
[{"id":1624,"sku":"PD-1007-A","price":8145.9}]
Loop 3:
[{"id":1625,"sku":"PD-1014","price":8145.9}]
As you can see id+sku change but price doesn't.
For further context, I'll include the data variable that is declaed outside the For:
const data = codigos.map(function(codigos, indice) {
return {
sku: codigos[0],
price: precios[indice][0]
}
})
//** EDIT:
I'm adding the entire code so it makes more sense maybe?
function getDataloopwoo() {
var ck = 'xxx'
var cs = 'xxx'
var website = 'xxx'
var optionsGet =
{
"method": "GET",
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8",
"muteHttpExceptions": true,
};
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('PreciosBULK');
var codigos = sheet.getRange("A2:A").getValues();
var precios = sheet.getRange("B2:B").getValues();
var skuSearch = sheet.getRange("A2:A").getValues();
const data = codigos.map(function(codigos, indice) {
return {
sku: codigos[0],
price: precios[indice][0]
}
})
Logger.log(skuSearch)
for (let sku of skuSearch) {
var surl = website + "/wp-json/wc/v3/products?consumer_key=" + ck + "&consumer_secret=" + cs + "&sku=" + sku;
var url = surl
Logger.log(url)
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, optionsGet);
if (result.getResponseCode() == 200) {
var wooProducts = JSON.parse(result.getContentText());
Logger.log(result.getContentText());
}
var idLength = wooProducts.length;
Logger.log(idLength);
var container = [];
for (var i = 0; i < idLength; i++) {
Logger.log(i);
container.push({
id: wooProducts[i]["id"],
sku: wooProducts[i]["sku"],
price: data[i]["price"],
});
Logger.log(container);
var wooBatch = JSON.stringify(container);
Logger.log(wooBatch);
}
}
}
// FINAL EDIT with "solve":
So I figured it was inefficient to ask by 1 sku at a time, so now I'm asking by the 100, and paginating with a while if and saving id, sku, price to the container array.
I will need now to compare the container array to the array with the updated prices and form a new array with id, sku and updated price, I'm reading up on that right now. The code:
function getDataloopwoo() {
var ck = 'xx'
var cs = 'xx'
var website = 'xx'
var optionsGet =
{
"method": "GET",
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8",
"muteHttpExceptions": true,
};
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('PreciosBULK');
var codigos = sheet.getRange("A2:A").getValues();
var precios = sheet.getRange("B2:B").getValues();
const data = codigos.map(function(codigos, indice) {
return {
sku: codigos[0],
price: precios[indice][0]
}
})
var container = [];
var surl = website + "/wp-json/wc/v3/products?consumer_key=" + ck + "&consumer_secret=" + cs + "&per_page=100";
var url = surl
//Logger.log(url)
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, optionsGet);
var headers = result.getAllHeaders();
var total_pages = headers['x-wp-totalpages'];
var pages_count = 0;
while (pages_count < total_pages) {
if (result.getResponseCode() == 200) {
var wooProducts = JSON.parse(result.getContentText());
//Logger.log(result.getContentText());
}
for (var i = 0; i < wooProducts.length; i++) {
//Logger.log(i);
container.push({
id: wooProducts[i]["id"],
sku: wooProducts[i]["sku"],
price: wooProducts[i]["price"],
});
Logger.log(container);
}
pages_count++;
if (pages_count < total_pages){
var surl = website + "/wp-json/wc/v3/products?consumer_key=" + ck + "&consumer_secret=" + cs + "&per_page=100" + "&page=" + (pages_count + 1);
var url = surl
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, optionsGet);
Logger.log(url);
}
}
}

You're reseting the array container in every iteration of the loop:
for (var i = 0; i < idLength; i++) {
var container = []; // <-----------------here
...
container.push({
...
I think the array should be defined outside the loop:
var container = [];
for (var i = 0; i < idLength; i++) {
...
container.push({
...

How to pass the select box value as an array using AJAX from one page to another in PHP?

var message = $("#send_message").val();
var Teaminput = $("#sms_reminder_team").val();
for (var i = 0; i <Teaminput.length; i++)
{
var team=Teaminput[i];
}
var Memberinput = $("#sms_reminder_members").val();
for (var i = 0; i <Memberinput.length; i++)
{
var members=Memberinput[i];
}
Get 2 varaibles as array members and team
var parameter = "message="+message+"&team="+team+"&members="+members;
$.ajax({
url: base_url+'ajaxfiles/dir_sendmessage',
type: 'POST',
data: parameter,
success: function(data)
{
document.getElementById('check').innerHTML = data;
}
});
How to send both array variables using AJAX from current page to "dir_sendmessage".

Change the below line
var parameter = "message="+message+"&team="+team+"&members="+members;
to
var parameter = "message="+message+"&team="+JSON.stringify(team)+"&members="+JSON.stringify(members);
Edit: Modify like this too
var team = [];
var members = [];
for (var i = 0; i <Teaminput.length; i++)
{
team=Teaminput[i];
}
var Memberinput = $("#sms_reminder_members").val();
for (var i = 0; i <Memberinput.length; i++)
{
members=Memberinput[i];
}
Note: When you add var in each line in the loop, it will declare a new variable. You have to edit like the above code
After update the code with the JSON.stringify() function, you will be able to get the value as an array in you PHP code
Ajax will not directly pass Jquery array to PHP

First of all ideally you should send in JSON format or use array.tostring() ( can avoid this )
But if you have to send it as array you can try following:
$.ajax({
url: base_url+'ajaxfiles/dir_sendmessage',
type: 'POST',
data: {team:team, members: members},
success: function(data) {
document.getElementById('check').innerHTML = data; } });

var message = $("#send_message").val();
var teaminputt = $("#sms_reminder_team").val();
team = new Array();
members = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i <teaminputt.length; i++)
{
var team=teaminputt[i];
}
var memberinput = $("#sms_reminder_members").val();
for (var i = 0; i <memberinput.length; i++)
{
var members=memberinput[i];
}
var parameter = "message="+message+"&team="+team+"&members="+members;
$.ajax({
url: base_url+'ajaxfiles/dir_sendmessage',
type: 'POST',
data: parameter,
success: function(data)
{
document.getElementById('check').innerHTML = data;
}
});

$("#msg-send-btn").click(function() {
var message = $("#send_message").val();
var optionsmembers = $('#sms_reminder_members option:selected');
var members = $.map(optionsmembers ,function(option) {
return option.value;
});
//---- Using $.map get all selcted data as a an Array.
var postData = {
message,
members
}
//---- For Avoid Json-Stringfy.
$.ajax({
url: base_url+'ajaxfiles/dir_sendmessage.php',
type: 'POST',
data:{myData:postData},
//----- And It's Work Perfectly.

How to create a JSON feed

I have a file called parsing.html that parses through a xml feed and converts the metadata into JSON Object called "data". I'm trying to output this JSON "data" as a JSON feed such as http://www.videws.com/gtv/videosources.php. Is doing
document.write(JSON.stringify(data)) the equivalent of creating a JSON feed in this case?
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'fakeFeed.xml',
dataType: 'xml',
async: false,
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
function getRandom(max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * max);
}
function getThumbId(small) {
var num = getRandom(15);
if (num == 0) {
num = 1;
}
if (num < 10) {
num = '0' + num;
}
return num.toString();
}
var categories = new Array(); // Array for the categories
var category = {
name : '',
videos: []
};
var data1 = data;
var data = {
categories: []
};
$(data1).find('item').each(function () {
var el = $(this);
var categoryName = el.find('category').text();
var p = categories.indexOf(categoryName);
if( p == -1) {
categories.push(categoryName);
var category = {
name: categoryName,
videos: []
};
for (var j = 0; j<5; j++) {
var video = {
sources: [el.find('media\\:content, content').attr('url')],
thumb : 'images\/thumbs\/thumb' + getThumbId() + '.jpg',
title : el.find("title").text(),
subtitle : el.find("description").text(),
description: ""
}
//document.write(categories);
category.videos.push(video);
}
data.categories.push(category);
}
});
document.write(JSON.stringify(data));
}
})

im not sure you fully understand what http://www.videws.com/gtv/videosources.php is doing.
if you look at the source code it appears not to have any javascript at all so its not doing a document.write, it is more likely doing all of the conversion to JSON within PHP server side then streaming out.
a good help site for using PHP with JSON is available here: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/json/json_php_example.htm
i would say that if your more of a JS/HTML guru you may get more out of NODEJS than PHP but that's entirely up to you.

Javascript Function Returns Undefined JSON Object (But It's Not Undefined!)

I am trying to return a JSON object from a function using the JSON jQuery plugin (http://code.google.com/p/jquery-json/) but after returning the object from the function, it becomes undefined.
$(document).ready(function() {
var $calendar = $('#calendar');
$calendar.weekCalendar({
...
data : function(start, end, callback) {
var datas = getEventData();
alert(datas); // Undefined???
}
});
If I inspect the object before returning it, it is defined.
function getEventData() {
var dataString = "minDate="+ minDate/1000 + "&maxDate=" + maxDate/1000;
//alert(dataString);return false;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "busker_ops.php",
data: dataString,
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
if(data != null) {
var jsonArray = new Array();
var jsonObj = {};
for(var i = data.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
var o = data[i];
var set_id = o.set_id;
var start = o.startOrig;
var end = o.endOrig;
var title = o.title;
var deets = o.deets;
jsonObj =
{
"id":parseInt(set_id),
"start":$("#calendar").weekCalendar("formatDate", new Date(start), "c"),
"end":$("#calendar").weekCalendar("formatDate", new Date(end), "c"),
"title":title,
"body":deets
};
jsonArray[i] = jsonObj;
}
alert($.toJSON(jsonArray)); // Defined!
return ($.toJSON(jsonArray));
} else {
}
}
});
}
Any idea what I'm missing here?

function getEventData() {
function local() {
console.log(42);
return 42;
}
local();
}
Your missing the fact that the outer function returns undefined. And that's why your answer is undefined.
Your also doing asynchronous programming wrong. You want to use callbacks. There are probably 100s of duplicate questions about this exact problem.

Your getEventData() function returns nothing.
You are returning the JSON object from a callback function that's called asynchronously. Your call to $.ajax doesn't return anything, it just begins a background XMLHttpRequest and then immediately returns. When the request completes, it will call the success function if the HTTP request was successful. The success function returns to code internal in $.ajax, not to your function which originally called $.ajax.

I resolved this by using callbacks since AJAX is, after all. Once the data is retrieved it is assigned to a global variable in the callback and the calendar is refreshed using the global variable (datas).
$(document).ready(function() {
// Declare variables
var $calendar = $('#calendar');
datas = "";
set = 0;
// Retrieves event data
var events = {
getEvents : function(callback) {
var dataString = "minDate="+ minDate/1000 + "&maxDate=" + maxDate/1000;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "busker_ops.php",
data: dataString,
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
if(data != null) {
var jsonArray = new Array();
var jsonObj = {};
for(var i = data.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
var o = data[i];
var set_id = o.set_id;
var start = o.startOrig;
var end = o.endOrig;
var title = o.title;
var deets = o.deets;
jsonObj =
{
"id":parseInt(set_id),
"start":$("#calendar").weekCalendar("formatDate", new Date(start), "c"),
"end":$("#calendar").weekCalendar("formatDate", new Date(end), "c"),
"title":title,
"body":deets
};
jsonArray[i] = jsonObj;
}
//alert($.toJSON(jsonArray));
callback.call(this,jsonArray);
} else {
}
}
});
}
}
$calendar.weekCalendar({
data : function(start, end, callback) {
if(set == 1) {
callback(datas);
//alert(datas.events);
}
}
});
// Go get the event data
events.getEvents(function(evented) {
displayMessage("Retrieving the Lineup.");
datas = {
options : {},
events : evented
};
set = 1;
$calendar.weekCalendar("refresh");
});
});
