I am trying to access the Uber API with Axios and I am running into some trouble. I have plugged this data into Postman and I get a 200 response code with no problems. However, when I try to make an Axios call, I get response code 401 unauthorized. Can I get some help looking through my code to find out why my authorization is not working correctly with Axios?
Here is a link to the Uber API docs I am referencing. Uber API Reference
getRide_Uber = async (addressOrigin, addressDestination) => {
let origin = await geocodeAddress(addressOrigin);
let destination = await geocodeAddress(addressDestination);
const url = "https://api.uber.com/v1.2/estimates/price";
const params = {
params: {
start_latitude: origin.lat,
start_longitude: origin.lon,
end_latitude: destination.lat,
end_longitude: destination.lon
}
};
const headers = {
headers: {
Authorization: `Token ${process.env.UBER_SERVER_TOKEN}`
}
};
const response = await axios
.get(url, params, headers)
.then(function(response) {
data = response.data;
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
return data;
};
Please let me know if anything needs clarification. Thanks!
try below syntax,
const config = {
headers: {
Authorization: `Token ${process.env.UBER_SERVER_TOKEN}`
}
params: {
start_latitude: origin.lat,
start_longitude: origin.lon,
end_latitude: destination.lat,
end_longitude: destination.lon
}
};
const response = await axios
.get(url, config)
.then(function(response) {
data = response.data;
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
return data;
There is one more aspect axios, async/await is not supported in Internet Explorer and older browsers. So also please check your browser versions as well.
Not sure how are you getting token from env but seems the server token is not getting pass correctly, may be few extra characters while reading from env. Try to run the program first with hard coded token in program itself and once you are sure its not code issue, you can move it into config/env and then debug env read issue.
I'm working on a project and I'm using a backend sails js, a MongoDB as database and front-end React js.
I have a problem on the upload image.
Here is the code Sails backend and when I test it in PostMan, I got this result (result test PostMan), and the image is not stored in the specified folder but a value containing id and name of file is inserted in MongoDB,
uploadFile: function (req, res) {
var image= req.file('avatar');
image.upload({
adapter: require('skipper-gridfs'),
uri: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/name_db.name_collection',
dirname: '../../assets/images/'
}, function (err, filesUploaded) {
if (err){
return res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
/*res.negotiate(err);*/res.json(err);
}
else{
return
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*"); res.ok({
files: filesUploaded,
textParams: req.params.all()
});
}
});
},
result test postMan
And here is the Reactjs front-end code
_handleSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault();
// TODO: do something with -> this.state.file
fetch('http://localhost:1337/uploadPhoto/logos', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({avatar:this.state.file})
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.catch((err) => { console.log(err); });
}
Sails version 0.12,
React version 15.5,
and MongoDB version 3.4.9.
Thanks for your help
There is no dirname parameter for skipper-gridfs adapter because the file won't be stored onto the local file system.
Skipper will store the file into the MongoDB database.
U need to send it as form Data
let formData = new FormData()
console.log(values);
await formData.append('profile_picture',values.profile_picture.rawFile,values.profile_picture)
await fetch('http://localhost:1337/api/moderators',{
body:formData,
method:'POST',
credentials:'include' //If Using Session for react-app instead of JWT token
})
I need to delete a record on my mongodb using mongoose.
Here is my component
deleteProduct(product){
this._confirmationService.confirm({
message: 'Are you sure you want to delete the item?',
accept: () => {
this._productsAdminService.deleteProduct(product._id)
.subscribe(products => {
products.forEach(function(product){
if(product.cat_id === 1) product.catName = 'Dota Shirts';
if(product.cat_id === 2) product.catName = 'Gym Shirts';
if(product.cat_id === 3) product.catName = 'Car Shirts';
});
this.products = products;
},
err => console.log(err));
}
})
}
basically this will just pass the product id to the service to execute http request.
Here is my service
deleteProduct(productId){
let headers = new Headers({'Authorization': 'JWT ' + localStorage.getItem('currentUserToken')});
let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers});
return this._http.delete('http://localhost:3000/admin/products/delete/' + productId, options)
.map((response: Response) => response.json())
.catch(this._handlerError);
}
I am using the delete method to call my API in expressJS.
Here is my API
productsAdminRouter.route('/delete/:productId')
.delete(function(req,res){
id = req.params.productId;
console.log(id);
Products.findByIdAndRemove(id)
.exec(function(err, done){
if (err) throw err;
Products.find()
.exec(function(err, products){
res.json(products);
});
});
});
But I always got this error
Can anyone help? I'm stuck.
Exactly like #flashjpr said
I had to write an especific middleware to my entity "ticket".
var allowDelete = function(req, res, next){
res.append('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'DELETE')
next()
}
and pass it to the first middleware of that entity
app.use('/tickets', allowDelete, tickets);
EDIT: I'm was using expressjs.
I had the same problem the other day when working with a Java-Spring backend: when Cross-origin resource sharing (or simply cors) is happening, Angular sends apre-flight request before the actual (here DELETE) request which is of type OPTIONS(http).
What you have to do is:
enable CORS on your server
make sure your server accepts OPTIONS request on that particular endpoint ( /delete/:productId)
add the Access-Control-Allow-Methods header to the response of the OPTIONS, DELETE
In Node.js, other than using child process to make CURL call, is there a way to make CURL call to remote server REST API and get the return data?
I also need to set up the request header to the remote REST call, and also query string as well in GET (or POST).
I find this one: http://blog.nodejitsu.com/jsdom-jquery-in-5-lines-on-nodejs
but it doesn't show any way to POST query string.
Look at http.request
var options = {
host: url,
port: 80,
path: '/resource?id=foo&bar=baz',
method: 'POST'
};
http.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);
});
}).end();
How about using Request — Simplified HTTP client.
Edit February 2020: Request has been deprecated so you probably shouldn't use it any more.
Here's a GET:
var request = require('request');
request('http://www.google.com', function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
console.log(body) // Print the google web page.
}
})
OP also wanted a POST:
request.post('http://service.com/upload', {form:{key:'value'}})
I use node-fetch because it uses the familiar (if you are a web developer) fetch() API. fetch() is the new way to make arbitrary HTTP requests from the browser.
Yes I know this is a node js question, but don't we want to reduce the number of API's developers have to memorize and understand, and improve re-useability of our javascript code? Fetch is a standard so how about we converge on that?
The other nice thing about fetch() is that it returns a javascript Promise, so you can write async code like this:
let fetch = require('node-fetch');
fetch('http://localhost', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
body: '{}'
}).then(response => {
return response.json();
}).catch(err => {console.log(err);});
Fetch superseeds XMLHTTPRequest. Here's some more info.
Look at http://isolasoftware.it/2012/05/28/call-rest-api-with-node-js/
var https = require('https');

console.info('Options prepared:');
console.info(optionsget);

Axios
An example (axios_example.js) using Axios in Node.js:
const axios = require('axios');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.get('/search', function(req, res) {
let query = req.query.queryStr;
let url = `https://your.service.org?query=${query}`;
axios({
method:'get',
url,
auth: {
username: 'the_username',
password: 'the_password'
}
})
.then(function (response) {
res.send(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
});
var server = app.listen(port);
Be sure in your project directory you do:
npm init
npm install express
npm install axios
node axios_example.js
You can then test the Node.js REST API using your browser at: http://localhost:5000/search?queryStr=xxxxxxxxx
Similarly you can do post, such as:
axios({
method: 'post',
url: 'https://your.service.org/user/12345',
data: {
firstName: 'Fred',
lastName: 'Flintstone'
}
});
SuperAgent
Similarly you can use SuperAgent.
superagent.get('https://your.service.org?query=xxxx')
.end((err, response) => {
if (err) { return console.log(err); }
res.send(JSON.stringify(response.body));
});
And if you want to do basic authentication:
superagent.get('https://your.service.org?query=xxxx')
.auth('the_username', 'the_password')
.end((err, response) => {
if (err) { return console.log(err); }
res.send(JSON.stringify(response.body));
});

I have been using restler for making webservices call, works like charm and is pretty neat.
To use latest Async/Await features
https://www.npmjs.com/package/request-promise-native
npm install --save request
npm install --save request-promise-native
//code
async function getData (){
try{
var rp = require ('request-promise-native');
var options = {
uri:'https://reqres.in/api/users/2',
json:true
};
var response = await rp(options);
return response;
}catch(error){
throw error;
}
}
try{
console.log(getData());
}catch(error){
console.log(error);
}
Warning: As of Feb 11th 2020, request is fully deprecated.
One another example - you need to install request module for that
var request = require('request');
function get_trustyou(trust_you_id, callback) {
var options = {
uri : 'https://api.trustyou.com/hotels/'+trust_you_id+'/seal.json',
method : 'GET'
};
var res = '';
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
res = body;
}
else {
res = 'Not Found';
}
callback(res);
});
}
get_trustyou("674fa44c-1fbd-4275-aa72-a20f262372cd", function(resp){
console.log(resp);
});
const http = require('http');
const url = process.argv[2];
http.get(url, function(response) {
let finalData = "";
response.on("data", function (data) {
finalData += data.toString();
});
response.on("end", function() {
console.log(finalData.length);
console.log(finalData.toString());
});
});
I didn't find any with cURL so I wrote a wrapper around node-libcurl and can be found at https://www.npmjs.com/package/vps-rest-client.
To make a POST is like so:
var host = 'https://api.budgetvm.com/v2/dns/record';
var key = 'some___key';
var domain_id = 'some___id';
var rest = require('vps-rest-client');
var client = rest.createClient(key, {
verbose: false
});
var post = {
domain: domain_id,
record: 'test.example.net',
type: 'A',
content: '111.111.111.111'
};
client.post(host, post).then(function(resp) {
console.info(resp);
if (resp.success === true) {
// some action
}
client.close();
}).catch((err) => console.info(err));
If you have Node.js 4.4+, take a look at reqclient, it allows you to make calls and log the requests in cURL style, so you can easily check and reproduce the calls outside the application.
Returns Promise objects instead of pass simple callbacks, so you can handle the result in a more "fashion" way, chain the result easily, and handle errors in a standard way. Also removes a lot of boilerplate configurations on each request: base URL, time out, content type format, default headers, parameters and query binding in the URL, and basic cache features.
This is an example of how to initialize it, make a call and log the operation with curl style:
var RequestClient = require("reqclient").RequestClient;
var client = new RequestClient({
baseUrl:"http://baseurl.com/api/", debugRequest:true, debugResponse:true});
client.post("client/orders", {"client": 1234, "ref_id": "A987"},{"x-token": "AFF01XX"});
This will log in the console...
[Requesting client/orders]-> -X POST http://baseurl.com/api/client/orders -d '{"client": 1234, "ref_id": "A987"}' -H '{"x-token": "AFF01XX"}' -H Content-Type:application/json
And when the response is returned ...
[Response client/orders]<- Status 200 - {"orderId": 1320934}
This is an example of how to handle the response with the promise object:
client.get("reports/clients")
.then(function(response) {
// Do something with the result
}).catch(console.error); // In case of error ...
Of course, it can be installed with: npm install reqclient.
You can use curlrequest to easily set what time of request you want to do... you can even set headers in the options to "fake" a browser call.
Warning: As of Feb 11th 2020, request is fully deprecated.
If you implement with form-data, for more info (https://tanaikech.github.io/2017/07/27/multipart-post-request-using-node.js):
var fs = require('fs');
var request = require('request');
request.post({
url: 'https://slack.com/api/files.upload',
formData: {
file: fs.createReadStream('sample.zip'),
token: '### access token ###',
filetype: 'zip',
filename: 'samplefilename',
channels: 'sample',
title: 'sampletitle',
},
}, function (error, response, body) {
console.log(body);
});
I found superagent to be really useful,
it is very simple
for example
const superagent=require('superagent')
superagent
.get('google.com')
.set('Authorization','Authorization object')
.set('Accept','application/json')
Update from 2022:
from node.js version v18 on you can use the globally available fetch API (see https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/v18-release-announce/)
There is also an example usage included on their announcement page:
const res = await fetch('https://nodejs.org/api/documentation.json');
if (res.ok) {
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);
}
