I am trying get paged json responses from Topsy (http://code.google.com/p/otterapi/) and am having problems merging the objects. I want to do this in browser as the api rate limit is per ip/user and to low to do things server side.
Here is my code. Is there a better way? Of course there is because this doesn't work. I guess I want to get this working, but also to understand if there is a safer, and/or more efficient way.
The error message I get is ...
TypeError: Result of expression 'window.holdtweetslist.prototype' [undefined] is not an object.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Stephen

You are calling Merge as an static method, but declared it as an "instance" method (for the prototype reserved word).
Remove prototype from Merge declaration, so you'll have:
window.holdtweetslist.Merge = (function(ob)...
This will fix the javascript error.
This is Vipul from Topsy. Would you share the literal JSON you are receiving? I want to ensure you are not receiving a broken response.
THanks to Edgar and Vipul for there help. Unfortunately they were able to answer my questions. I have managed to work out that the issue was a combination of jquery not parsing the json properly and needing to use jsonp with topsy.
Here is a little test I created that works.
Create a doc with this object on it ....
RUN TEST
You will need JQUERY
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
And put the following in a script too. The is cycle through the required number of tweets from Topsy.
Thanks again everyone.

I'm trying to fetch data through API , and the URL contains two object and I targeted the quizzes , "quizzes": [2 items], "warnings": []
quizzes return me two objects with their details.
what I'm trying to achieve is to add if statement to retrieve the grades (another API) depends on quiz name and it is working well , but I want to add inside it another if to retrieve grades depends on the another quiz name, please see the code below how to target posttest inside pretest they have the same key and I want the data to be changed depends on quiz name.
var get_quiz = {
"url": "MyURL"
};
$.ajax(get_quiz).done(function (get_quiz_res) {
var reslength = Object.keys(get_quiz_res).length;
for (let b = 0; b < reslength; b++) {
var get_grade = {
"url": "*******&quizid="+get_quiz_res.quizzes[b].id"
};
$.ajax(get_grade).done(function (get_grade_res) {
var posttest=''
if (get_quiz_res.quizzes[b].name === "Post Test"){
posttest = get_grade_res.grade;
}
if (get_quiz_res.quizzes[b].name === "Pre Test"){
var row = $('<tr><td>' + userincourseres[i].fullname + '</td><td>' + get_grade_res.grade + '</td><td>' + posttest + '</td><td>');
$('#myTable').append(row);
}
});
}
});
the userincourseres[i].fullname from another api and it is working.
You can use async/await with $ajax if your JQuery version is 3+.
const get_quiz = {
url: "MyURL",
};
(async function run() {
const get_quiz_res = await $.ajax(get_quiz);
const reslength = Object.keys(get_quiz_res).length;
for (let b = 0; b < reslength; b++) {
const get_grade = {
url: "*******&quizid=" + get_quiz_res.quizzes[b].id,
};
let posttest = "";
const get_grade_res = await $.ajax(get_grade);
if (get_quiz_res.quizzes[b].name === "Post Test") {
posttest = get_grade_res.grade;
}
if (get_quiz_res.quizzes[b].name === "Pre Test") {
var row = $(
"<tr><td>" +
userincourseres[i].fullname +
"</td><td>" +
get_grade_res.grade +
"</td><td>" +
posttest +
"</td><td>"
);
$("#myTable").append(row);
}
}
})();
I am trying to understand how the batch rest calls work.
I could not find any simple example on the internet. I have found the examples from https://github.com/andrewconnell/sp-o365-rest but can't run these examples or I have no idea how yet. I am guessing you have to deploy the app to a sharepoint site.
Given that, I am just looking for the simplest example of a add list item and update list item in bulk/batch. Also if anyone knows how I can make the app from that git to run will be really appreciated.
Thanks.
The github project is a add-in project so you need deploy the add-in project, then you can use it.
You could check below script from here.

I am working in a javascript function that takes all of the id's from a HTML table and sends each iteration of a loop and sends the info to a PLSQL procedure to update. I concat a number on each id to make each one unique. If I add an alert in the loop and click through one by one it works. If I let it go on its own with no alert it skips some iterations. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
function process_update() {
var nDataCount = document.getElementById("v_nDataCount").value;
var p_cc_no = document.getElementById("p_cc_no").value;
var p_orient = document.getElementById("p_orient").value;
var p_ot = document.getElementById("p_ot").value;
var p_buy = document.getElementById("p_buy").value;
var x = 0;
if (nDataCount == 0) {
x = 0;
} else {
x = 1;
}
for (i = nDataCount; i >= x; i--) {
var p_pc_no = ("p_pc_no[" + i + "]");
var p_pc_no2 = document.getElementById(p_pc_no).value;

Try the below code. I am using an AJAX GET request within the loop with request params, so as to not change the interface as much as possible. It uses only plain JS since I am not sure if you have jquery.
The actual changes start from line 48. Of course, I could test this code only in a limited way, so it might have possible bugs (please let me know). Also this can be possibly refined further, but as a quick fix it should do.
A word of caution: This could make a lot of calls in quick succession. So if you have too many loop iterations you might end up bringing down the server. Use wisely! :-) There should be some kind of batching to avoid this, but that will need the call interface to be changed.
Lines 48-61: I am creating a plain JS object out of all your parameters. The key is parameter name, value is the value to be passed.
Line 63: Here I am defining a self-invoking function, which makes the AJAX call in its body. This way, even though AJAX is asynchronous in nature, it will run in sync with the for loop outside.
Line 64-66: I am serializing the object created in the loop, into query parameters.
Lines 68,69: Framing the URL to which request will be made.
Lines 71-77: Actually making the request. This is just boilerplate AJAX-invoking code you can find anywhere (jQuery would've made life so much simpler :-)).

I am not sure if this is due to the fact that getJSON is asynchronous or not. I think that would be the most obvious reason, but I don't have a clear understanding of how that works. In my js file, I call the healthCheck method on the body element. Nothing happens. Is my getJSON callback function even getting called? I don't know.
I have uploaded the script on JSFiddle.
The code is also below:
var baseURL = "http://someURL";
var id = "00000001";
var key = "0000aaaa-aa00-00a0-a00a-0000000a0000";
var healthcheck = "/version/healthcheck?";
( function($) {
$.fn.healthCheck = function() {
var timestamp = new Date().toJSON().toString();
var request = healthcheck + "timestamp=" + timestamp + "&devid=" + id;
var signature = CryptoJS.HmacSHA1(request, key);
request = baseURL + request + "&signature=" + signature;
$.getJSON(request, function(data) {
var result = new Object();
$.each(data, function(key, val) {
result.key = val;
if (val == false) {
this.innerHTML = "PTV API is currently not working. Error type: " + key + ".";
} else {
this.append(key + " working. <br />");
}
});
});
return this;
};
}(jQuery));
Many thanks in advance. I hope my query is well placed. If anyone knows some good resources to get a better understanding of asynchronous methods in jQuery that would be greatly appreciated, also. I haven't found many that have been easy to follow yet.
Try 1) setting context of jQuery.ajax( url [, settings ] ) to this of $.fn.healthCheck ; 2) create reference to this object at $.each()
var baseURL = "http://someURL";
var id = "00000001";
var key = "0000aaaa-aa00-00a0-a00a-0000000a0000";
var healthcheck = "/version/healthcheck?";
(function($) {
$.fn.healthCheck = function() {
// set `this` object within `$.getJSON`
var timestamp = new Date().toJSON().toString();
var request = healthcheck + "timestamp=" + timestamp + "&devid=" + id;
var signature = CryptoJS.HmacSHA1(request, key);
request = baseURL + request + "&signature=" + signature;
$.ajax({
url:request
, type:"GET"
, contentType: false
, context: this
, processData:false
}).then(function(data) {
// reference to `this` within `$.each()`
var that = this;
var result = new Object();
$.each(JSON.parse(data), function(key, val) {
result.key = val;
if (val == false) {
// `that` : `this`
that.innerHTML = "PTV API is currently not working. Error type: " + key + ".";
} else {
that.append(key + " working. <br />");
console.log("complete"); // notification
}
});
}, function(jqxhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(textStatus, errorThrown); // log errors
});
return this;
};
}(jQuery));
$("body").healthCheck();

I've been trying this for a while now, but I can't get my head around what's wrong. Maybe I've tried so many ways that I'm not even sure this piece of code is right anymore.
Basically I'm trying to use the track.scrobble method from the Last.fm API, sending a batch of tracks.
That's the code I have, and it's always returning Invalid method signature. Does anyone can give me some help here, please?
UPDATE
Based on mccannf answer, I've changed the code, but am still getting the error:
var apiUrl = "http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/";
var apiMethod = "track.scrobble";
var apiKey = "MY_API_KEY";
var apiSecret = "MY_API_SECRET";
var key = "MY_SESSION_KEY";
var apiSig = "";
var lastfmScrobble = function (data) {
var dataToScrobble = setTiming(data);
var albums = [];
var artists = [];;
var timestamps = [];
var tracks = [];
var dataToHash = "";
for (var i = 0; i < dataToScrobble.tracks.length; i++) {
albums["album["+ i.toString() + "]"] = dataToScrobble.album;
artists["artist[" + i.toString() + "]"] = dataToScrobble.artist;
timestamps["timestamp[" + i.toString() + "]"] = dataToScrobble.tracks[i].split("|")[1];
tracks["track[" + i.toString() + "]"] = dataToScrobble.tracks[i].split("|")[0];
}
dataToHash += albums.sort().join("");
dataToHash += "api_key" + apiKey;
dataToHash += artists.sort().join("");
dataToHash += "method" + apiMethod;
dataToHash += "sk" + key;
dataToHash += timestamps.sort().join("");
dataToHash += tracks.sort().join("");
dataToHash += apiSecret;
apiSig = $.md5(unescape(encodeURIComponent(dataToHash)));
var songsToScrobble = {};
$.extend(songsToScrobble,
albums.sort(),
{ api_key: apiKey },
{ api_sig: apiSig },
artists.sort(),
{ method: apiMethod },
{ sk: key },
timestamps.sort(),
tracks.sort());
$.ajax({
url: apiUrl,
type: "POST",
data: songsToScrobble,
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
}
Now the object sent has the correct format (JSON). What can still be wrong?
I did a quick sample JS Fiddle of your code.
The dataToHash is like this:
album[0]Achtung Babyalbum[1]Achtung Babyapi_keyxxxBLAHxxxartist[0]U2artist[1]U2methodtrack.scrobbleskkkkFOOkkktimestamp[0]1379368800timestamp[1]1379369000track[0]Onetrack[1]The FlymmmySecrettt
The songsToScrobble variable in the code above looked like this:
{ "album": [
"album[0]Achtung Baby",
"album[1]Achtung Baby"
],
"api_key":"xxxBLAHxxx",
"api_sig":"8dbc147e533411a41ba9169f59e65b3a",
"artist":["artist[0]U2","artist[1]U2"],
"method": "track.scrobble",
"sk":"kkkFOOkkk"
"timestamp": [
"timestamp[0]1379368800",
"timestamp[1]1379369000"
],
"track": [
"track[0]One",
"track[1]The Fly"
]
}
I believe songsToScrobble should look like this:
{ "album[0]": "Achtung Baby",
"album[1]": "Achtung Baby",
"api_key":"xxxBLAHxxx",
"api_sig":"8dbc147e533411a41ba9169f59e65b3a",
"artist[0]": "U2",
"artist[1]": "U2",
"method": "track.scrobble",
"sk":"kkkFOOkkk"
"timestamp[0]": "1379368800",
"timestamp[1]": "1379369000",
"track[0]": "One",
"track[1]": "The Fly"
}
Only other minor point is to make sure dataToHash is UTF-8 encoded before you convert to MD5 hash.
Edit
This is how I created the data for the ajax call. NOTE: this is untested - I don't have a last.fm account.
var songsToScrobble = {};
function addDataToScrobble(parentElement, inputData) {
if ($.isArray(inputData)) {
$.each(inputData, function(index ,element) {
songsToScrobble[parentElement + "[" + index + "]"] = element;
dataToHash += parentElement + "[" + index + "]" + element;
});
} else {
songsToScrobble[parentElement] = inputData;
dataToHash += parentElement + inputData;
}
}
for (var i = 0; i < data.tracks.length; i++) {
albums.push(data.album);
artists.push(data.artist);
// The tracks are coming in the format: title|timestamp
timestamps.push(data.tracks[i].split("|")[1]);
tracks.push(data.tracks[i].split("|")[0]);
}
addDataToScrobble("album", albums);
addDataToScrobble("api_key", apiKey);
addDataToScrobble("artist", artists);
addDataToScrobble("method", apiMethod);
addDataToScrobble("sk", key);
addDataToScrobble("timestamp", timestamps);
addDataToScrobble("track", tracks);
apiSig = $.md5(unescape(encodeURIComponent(dataToHash+apiSecret)));
songsToScrobble["api_sig"] = apiSig;
$.ajax({
url: apiUrl,
type: "POST",
data: songsToScrobble,
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
