I need help for doing Post request repeatedly in Postman with different bodies. Example given below, where company name must be changed. It would be better to read company names from a document or may be from an array in script. Please advice how can I do it?
{
"d": "{{company}}"
}
I found somethin like that, but I am getting error: (There was an error in evaluating the Pre-request Script: TypeError: Cannot read property 'get' of undefined)
Pre-request Script:
if(!companies){
companies = ["111",
"222",
"333"];
}
var currentCompany = companies.shift();
pm.enviroment.set("company",currentCompany);
pm.enviroment.set("companies", companies);
Tests:
var companies = pm.enviroment.get("companies");
if(companies && companies.length > 0){
postman.setNextRequest("my url");
} else {
postman.setNextRequest(null);
}
There are multiple but small mistakes:
the set environment function is misspelled: please use pm.environment.set(right) instead of pm.enviroment.set(false)
you have to load the companies var from the environments before. Add var companies = JSON.parse(pm.environment.get("companies")); to the first line of your pre rquest script.
Please make sure that you are saving string values to the environment vars. Use JSON.stringify(myObject) e.g. pm.environment.set("company", JSON.stringify(currentCompany)); and analogue JSON.parse(myStringVar) for loading variables in var companies = JSON.parse(pm.enviroment.get("companies"));
(Maye also a problem) Please make sure, there is a enviroment chosen in Postman, postman-runner and newman. If there is no environment set, you can get errors:

I have been trying to retrieve list of SendGrid transactional templates using API. I'm using correct API key and getting an empty array while there are about 5 transactional templates existing in my SendGrid account. Here is the response:
{
"templates": []
}
Any guesses what could be wrong?
Any guesses what could be wrong?
Yep, their documentation could be!
I also stuck with the problem and finally managed to solve it once I opened the devtools and saw how they request their own API from the UI. Long story short - one has to pass additional generations=dynamic query parameter. Here is the C# code I use:
var client = new SendGridClient("key");
var response = await client.RequestAsync(
SendGridClient.Method.GET,
urlPath: "/templates",
queryParams: "{\"generations\": \"dynamic\"}");
Using Api 7.3.0 PHP
require("../../sendgrid-php.php");
$apiKey = getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY');
$sg = new \SendGrid($apiKey);
#Comma-delimited list specifying which generations of templates to return. Options are legacy, dynamic or legacy,dynamic
$query_params = json_decode('{"generations": "legacy,dynamic"}');
try {
#$response = $sg->client->templates()->get();
$response = $sg->client->templates()->get(null, $query_params);
echo $response->body();
exit;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo '{"error":"Caught exception: '. $e->getMessage().'"}';
}
I had the same problem using the python wrapper provided by Sendgrid.
My code was similar to this:
response = SendGridAPIClient(<your api key>).client.templates.get({'generations': 'legacy,dynamic'})
This returned an empty array.
To fix you have to name the param or to pass None before the dict:
response = SendGridAPIClient(<your api key>).client.templates.get(None, {'generations': 'legacy,dynamic'})
or
response = SendGridAPIClient(<your api key>).client.templates.get(query_params={'generations': 'legacy,dynamic'})
I have a POST call in Postman that returns this JSON object:
{
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJzdWIiO3Jsb3Blei5hbnRvbmlvODVAZ21haWwuY29tIiwiZXhwIjoxNTkzNjc0MzUxLCJpYXQiOjE1MzMxOTQzNTF9.oTPVkcgF1QcoOsg6KDGOaaTyCQYrWS51QDdRn__MDigivcsuaqUgBhDaTYwQnxOtOCjxDRXO_cqK8i5xBq02bQ"
}
In my environment I set a variable named token
I want to set the value. I've tried with
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("token", data.message.token);
and
var data = pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set("token", data.message.token);
but both with errors: SyntaxError | Invalid or unexpected token
If that's the only thing you get back in the response body, why are you adding 'message'?
Use data.token or just use pm.response.json().token and remove the variable declaration.
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("TOKEN",jsonData.token);
In order to set the environment variable key use below
var response=pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set("tokenkey", response.token);
The environment variables were not working for me after a Postman update. In my case the problem was that my environment was not set on the top right (it was using the default, "No Environment"). 🤦♂️
I'm quite the noob using Ionic or Angular for that matter. So as a cheat sheet I'm using the ionic-super-starter template (link below).
I am trying to make a get request to my API and it works just find if I'm doing it like this:
this.api.get('user/'+this.user.userId+'/entries?include=stuff&access_token=TOKEN');
but when I put the url params into an object it stops working:
let options = {
'include':'stuff',
'access_token':'TOKEN'
}
this.api.get('user/'+this.user.userId+'/entries', options);
The only error I get is "Unauthorized Request" since the options object including the access token was not appended to the url.
In the ionic-super-starter template the providers/api/api.ts calls .set() for each key in my params object:
if (params) {
reqOpts.params = new HttpParams();
for (let k in params) {
reqOpts.params.set(k, params[k]);
}
}
but according to Angular University this is not possible since "HTTPParams is immutable".
If it really was wrong to do this, I don't believe it would be in the ionic template. Nor would I believe that I would be the first person to come across this issue.
However, I am stuck here so any help would be appreciated.
Link to Angular University:
https://blog.angular-university.io/angular-http/#httprequestparameters
Link to ionic-super-starter:
https://github.com/ionic-team/starters/tree/master/ionic-angular/official/super
I think I figured it out myself:
if I write (in my src/providers/api/api.ts)
reqOpts.params = reqOpts.params.append(k, params[k]);
instead of
reqOpts.params.set(k, params[k]);
it works.
if you are using a loopback API as I am you might have nested objects like:
let options = {
"filter": {
"order": "date DESC"
},
"access_token":this.user._accessToken
};
this won’t work. try instead:
let options = {
"filter": '{"order":"date DESC"}',
"access_token":this.user._accessToken
};
I am trying to creating a app which can send posts to tumblr using tumblr.js api.
I could send single image using the createPhotoPost method, but I have to send multiple image in a single post via this method.
From the documentation it says that createPhotoPost method has a "data" parameter which can be an array with "URL-encoded binary contents"
When ever I try to send something in the data Array it returns "[Error: form-data: Arrays are not supported.]".
Can someone please help to solve this issue and please explain what should we pass in the array (Really I am not getting what is URL-encoded binary contents)?
Thanks in advance
There is an error in tumblr.js
https://tumblr.github.io/tumblr.js/tumblr.js.html#line504
The documentation at https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2#posting is correct.
Basically the issue is that its not supposed to be
data = [ one , two ] its litterally params['data[0]'] = one ; params['data[1]'] = two; (?A PHP Convention)
var request = require('request')// already a tumblr.js dependency
var currentRequest = request({
url:'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/someblog.tumblr.com/post',
oauth:keys,
},function(err,response,body){
currentRequest//
debugger
cb()
})
var params = {
'type' :'photo',
'caption':'Click To Verify You Are A Robot',
}
var params_images = [
fs.createReadStream('image'),
fs.createReadStream('image')
]
// Sign it with the non-data parameters
currentRequest.form(params)
currentRequest.oauth(keys);
// Clear the side effects from form(param)
delete currentRequest.headers['content-type'];
delete currentRequest.body;
// And then add the full body
var form = currentRequest.form();
//###add params_images to params keys 'data[0]' 'data[1]' 'data[2]' ....
params_images.forEach(function(image,index){
params['data['+index+']']
})
for (var key in params) {
form.append(key, params[key]);
}
// Add the form header back
var form_headers = form.getHeaders()
for(var key in form_headers){
currentRequest[key] = form_headers[key]
}
I've setup a form using googledocs. I just want to have the actual data entered into the form emailed to me, as opposed to the generic response advising that the form has been completed.
I have no skill or experience with code etc, but was sure i could get this sorted. I've spent hours+hours and haven't had any luck.
My form is really basic.it has 5 fields. 4 of which are just text responses, and one multiple choice.
I found this tute online (http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-docs-email-form/20884/) which i think sums up what i'm trying to do, but have not been able to get it to work.
from this site i entered the following code:
function sendFormByEmail(e)
{
var email = "reports.mckeir#gmail.com";
var subject = "Google Docs Form Submitted";
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var headers = s.getRange(1,1,1,s.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
var message = "";
for(var i in headers)
message += headers[i] + ' = '+ e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString() + "\n\n";
MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, message);
}
To this, i get the following response: ->
Your script, Contact Us Form Mailer, has recently failed to finish successfully. A summary of the failure(s) is shown below. To configure the triggers for this script, or change your setting for receiving future failure notifications, click here.
The script is used by the document 100% Club.
Details:
Start Function Error Message Trigger End
12/3/12 11:06 PM sendFormByEmail TypeError: Cannot call method "toString" of undefined. (line 12) formSubmit 12/3/12 11:06 PM
Is anyone able to help shed some light on this for me? I'm guessing i'm not including some data neeeded, but i honestly have no clue.

You have to setup app script to forward the data as email.
I'll point to the comment above that solved it for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14576983/134335
I took that post a step further:
I removed the normal notification. The app script makes that generic text redundant and useless now
I modified the script to actually parse the results and build the response accordingly.
function sendFormByEmail(e)
{
var toEmail = "changeme";
var name = "";
var email = "";
// Optional but change the following variable
// to have a custom subject for Google Docs emails
var subject = "Google Docs Form Submitted";
var message = "";
// The variable e holds all the form values in an array.
// Loop through the array and append values to the body.
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var headers = s.getRange(1,1,1,s.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
// Credit to Henrique Abreu for fixing the sort order
for(var i in headers) {
if (headers[i] = "Name") {
name = e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString();
}
if (headers[i] = "Email") {
email = e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString();
}
if (headers[i] = "Subject") {
subject = e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString();
}
if (headers[i] = "Message") {
message = e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString();
}
}
// See https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/mail/mail-app#sendEmail(String,String,String,Object)
var mailOptions = {
name: name,
replyTo: email,
};
// This is the MailApp service of Google Apps Script
// that sends the email. You can also use GmailApp here.
MailApp.sendEmail(toEmail, subject, message, mailOptions);
// Watch the following video for details
// http://youtu.be/z6klwUxRwQI
// By Amit Agarwal - www.labnol.org
}
The script utilized in the example is extremely generic but very resilient to change because the message is built as a key/value pair of the form fields submitted.
If you use my script you'll have to tweak the for loop if statements to match your fields verbatim. You'll also want to edit the toEmail variable.
Thanks again for the question and answers. I was about to ditch Google Forms as the generic response was never enough for what I was trying to do.
Lastly, in response to the actual problem above "toString of undefined" specifically means one of the form fields was submitted as blank. If I had to guess, I would say the author only used this for forms where all the fields were required or a quick undefined check would've been put in place.
Something like the following would work:
for(var i in headers) {
var formValue = e.namedValues[headers[i]];
var formValueText = "";
if (typeof(formValue) != "undefined") {
formValueText = formValue.toString();
}
message += headers[i] + ' = '+ formvalueText + "\n\n";
}
I haven't tested this precisely but it's a pretty standard way of making sure the object is defined before trying methods like toString() that clearly won't work.
This would also explain Jon Fila's answer. The script blindly assumes all of the header rows in the response are sent by the form. If any of the fields aren't required or the spreadsheet has fields that are no longer in the form, you'll get a lot of undefined objects.
The script could've been coded better but I won't fault the author as it was clearly meant to be a proof of concept only. The fact that they mention the replyTo correction but don't give any examples on implementing it made it perfectly clear.
If this is a Google Form, do you have any extra columns in your spreadsheet that are not on the form? If you delete those extra columns then it started working for me.
You don't need to use a script. Simply go to Tools >> Notification Rules on your Google Spreadsheet. There you can change the settings to receive an email with your desired information every time the document is changed.
