I'm currently using Postman to do an API post request from a CRM software called Intercom.
I followed the below documentation to do this:
https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/v0/reference/creating-an-export-job
My purpose is to create a script via Google Apps Script to automate the API request.
I need to give the following elements:
Method: Post
URL: https://api.intercom.io/export/content/data
Headers: Authorization : Bearer 123456789, Accept : application/json, Content-Type: application/json
Body: "created_at_after": 1654041600, "created_at_before": 1656547200 (this is the date in Unix Timestamp)
The only parameter that will change is the body ("created_at_after" and "created_at_before"). Everything else will remain the same.
Below is the script I've created, that currently does not work.
Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated. I'm quite a beginner programmer so apologies in advance if the problem is quite obvious.
function exportjob() {
var url = 'https://api.intercom.io/export/content/data';
var options = {
"Method": "post",
"Headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer 123456789",
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"Body": {
"created_at_after": 1654041600,
"created_at_before": 1656547200}
}
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
}
From your showing document, I believe your goal is as follows.
You want to convert the following curl command to Google Apps Script.
curl https://api.intercom.io/export/content/data \
-X POST \
-H 'Authorization:Bearer <Your access token>' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '
{
"created_at_after": 1527811200,
"created_at_before": 1530316800
}'
Modification points:
At params of fetch(url, params) of Class UrlFetchApp, there are no properties of Method, Headers, Body.
In your situation, it seems that it is required to be sent the data as the string. And, by the content type of application/json, the data is parsed at the server side.
When these points are reflected in your script, how about the following modification?
Modified script:
function exportjob() {
var url = 'https://api.intercom.io/export/content/data';
var options = {
"method": "post",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer 123456789",
"Accept": "application/json",
},
"contentType": "application/json",
"payload": JSON.stringify({
"created_at_after": 1654041600,
"created_at_before": 1656547200
})
}
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
console.log(response.getContentText())
}
Note:
If an error occurs for the request, please confirm your access token and the data again. And, please provide the error message.

I'm trying to connect to Cloud Waitress API, a solution for restaurants,
Documentation: https://apidocs.cloudwaitress.com/#orderpromos
It's documentation gives an example on how to connect to the API:
curl https://api.cloudwaitress.com/v1/orders \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d `
{
"restaurant_id": "xxxxxxx",
"limit": 10,
"page": 1,
"sort": { "created": -1 },
}
I tried to create a Script in GAS to get the information back to a Spreadsheet.
Based on this question:
How curl maps onto Google App Script URLFetchApp
I have changed my code as follows:
function getAuthHeader(){
var apiKey = "SOME-API-KEY";
var authHeader = Utilities.base64Encode(apiKey);
return {
headers: {Authorization: authHeader}
}
}
function GetOrders(){
var url = "https://api.cloudwaitress.com/v1/orders";
var data = {
"restaurant_id":"SOME-RESTAURANT-ID",
"limit": 10,
"page": 1,
"sort": { "created": 1 }
};
var result = goPost(url ,data);
}
function goPost(url,data){
var options = {
'method' : 'post',
'payload' : data,
'headers': getAuthHeader()['headers']
};
var response;
try{
response = JSON.parse(UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,options).getContentText());
}catch(err){
Logger.log(err);
}
return response;
}
Right now the new error that I'm getting is:
Exception: Request failed for https://api.cloudwaitress.com returned
code 401. Truncated server response: {"outcome":1,"message":"Invalid
Authentication"} (use muteHttpExceptions option to examine full
response)
Which I believe is quite a progress since I was getting an 500 error before.
I have asked the cloudwaitress team their assistance, however I wonder if there is something else I can try.
How about this modification?
Modification points:
At your sample curl, "Content-Type: application/json" is used, and the JSON object is converted to the string.
The thread you refered uses the basic authorization like -u testtoken123:. By this, Utilities.base64Encode is required be used. But in your sample curl, the API key is directly used.
I thought that this might be the reason of the error message.
When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
From:
var options = {
'method' : 'post',
'payload' : data,
'headers': getAuthHeader()['headers']
};
To:
var apiKey = "SOME-API-KEY";
var options = {
'method' : 'post',
'payload' : JSON.stringify(data),
'headers': {Authorization: apiKey},
'contentType': "application/json",
};
In this case, getAuthHeader() is not used.
Note:
The request of this modified script is the same with your sample curl command. But in this modified script, it supposes that your apiKey and data can be used for this API. Please be careful this.
Reference:
Class UrlFetchApp
I am trying to fetch a URL using GScript's UrlFetchApp. The URL requires Token API Key to be passed in request header.
url = 'https://freshsales.io/search?q=abc';
var options = {
'method' : 'get',
'headers':{
'Authorization': "Token token=XYZ"
}
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
This does not fetch me the expected response, as pasted below:

I tested the same via python (code below) and it works perfectly.
url = "https://freshsales.io/search?q=abe"
payload = {}
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Token token=XYZ'
}
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data = payload)
Response from Python code:
[
{
"id": "1000705745",
"name": "MKnight",
"email": "mknight#xxx.gov",
"owner": {
"id": 1000002014,
"name": "Tim"
},
"updated_at": "2020-02-13T04:57:29Z",
"primary_sales_account_name": "City of XYZ",
"type": "contact"
} ]
Any thoughts on what i may be missing here ?
Add the contentType that you can accept to force the returned content type from the server:
headers:{
Accept: "application/json",
Authorization: "Token token=XYZ"
}
