I am trying to build a query filter as an array.
So, To make a GET call with some filter in the postman, I'd built an query like:
"query": [
{
"key": "type",
"value": 3
},
{
"key": "type",
"value": 4
},
{
"key": "type",
"value": 5
}]
It made the URLs with filter, like
/api/3/vehicles/?type=3&type=4&type=5
But these filters should be getting from previous API call.
So, I'd built some script that builds the query like above and save it in the environment variable.
query = []
for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++){
query.push({'key': 'type', 'value': data[i].id})
}
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("query", query);
And, in the JSON file, I used it like:
"query" : {{query}}
But it seems postman can't recognize it as an environment variable.
I can't even import JSON file to the postman. I am getting a format error.
Is this something you faced before? How I can solve this problem?
So when you check the environment variables the "query" variable is not there, right?
Also I am not sure about formatting. For declaring environment variable I use: pm.environment.set("query", query);
You can also add console.log(query) after your for loop, open your Postman console(Ctrl+Alt+C) and verify what query looks like. Maybe it will give you a hint.

Azure Function with a complex (List of objects) configuration type is working locally (with that complex type in local.settings.json) but fails to read / create list of objects in Azure (with that complex type in Azure Function configuration settings). I'm looking for the recommended / optimal way to support that across both platforms / methods of access.
This works great in my local.settings.json where I use the configuration builder and pull data out like
var myList = config.GetSection("ConfigurationList").Get<List<MyType>>();
however this doesn't seem to work in Azure Functions?? Now I think that is because in local.settings.json it is a json file and looks like
"ConfigurationList" : [ { "Name": "A", "Value": 2 }, { "Name": "B", "Value": 3 }]
while in Azure Functions it is a setting "ConfigurationList" with the value
[ { "Name": "A", "Value": 2 }, { "Name": "B", "Value": 3 }]
(so there isn't really a "section" in Azure Functions?)
It seems like the "easy" solution to this is to just change the .json to be a quoted string and deserialize the string (and then it would work the same in both places); but that doesn't seem like it would be the "best" (or "recommended" solution)
i.e. something like
"ConfigurationList" : "[ { \"Name\": \"A\", \"Value\": 2 }, { \"Name\": \"B\", \"Value\": 3 }]"
var myList = (List<MyType>)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(config["ConfigurationList"], typeof(List<MyType>));
Which isn't the worst; but makes the json a bit "not as nice" and doesn't "flow" across the two platforms ... if it is what I have to do, fine; but hoping for a more standard approach / recommendation
As I metioned in the comment, on local you can process local.settings.json as a json file, but when on azure, the value in configuration settings is environment variable. There is no section, it just string.
Please notice that only string values are allowed, and that anything nested will break. Learn how to use nest settings on azure web app(azure functon is based on azure app service sandbox, so it is the same.):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/waws/asp-net-core-settings-for-azure-app-service
For example, if this is the json structure:
{
"Parent": {
"ChildOne": "C1 from secrets.json",
"ChildTwo": "C2 from secrets.json"
}
}
Then in web app, you should save it like this:
(source: windows.net)
Not sure if you are looking something like this , it seems a list but if it is a simple JObject like
"ConfigurationList" : {
"Name": "A",
"Value": 2
}
Then you can declare ConfigurationList:Name , ConfigurationList:Value in the configuration settings of function app
My question is how can I pull the values for events.payload.media.name?
I am posting to a raw zapier webhook from another app. If I check it using requestb.in it comes through as "Content-Type: application/json". The output is also validating as JSON.
{
"hook":{
"uuid":"1asdfasd5-asdf-4f52-bd31-c7a544897808"
},
"events":[
{
"uuid":"0asdfasdfasdf0",
"type":"viewing_session.turnstile.converted",
"payload":{
"visitor":{
"id":"28b606b_7853753-3868-4f07-9543-70da084452cc-7442322af-407bdc31d8fc-2739"
},
"viewing_session":{
"id":"154284_b40c5358-1faf-40e9-a44e-60aa641a11cd-fd3c69d8d-302471c603f4-8245"
},
"name":null,
"media":{
"url":"https://things.wistia.com/medias/asdfasdf",
"thumbnail":{
"url":"http://embed.wistia.com/deliveries/asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasd.jpg?image_crop_resized=200x120"
},
"name":"this is what I want!",
"id":"asdfasdfasdf",
"duration":52.872
},
"last_name":null,
"foreign_data":{
},
"first_name":null,
"email":"email#email.com"
},
"metadata":{
"account_id":"asdfasdfasdf"
},
"generated_at":"2017-05-02T07:31:08Z"
}
]
}
However, when I check the typeof data in the output it is telling me that it is a string (see my code to check below). This prevents me from pulling the info out of it using:
return {stuff: typeof inputData.thing.events.payload.media.name};
I'm a huge noob, am I missing something fundamental here?
screenshot to check typeof data
events is an array, so you would access it like this:
inputData.thing.events[0].payload.media.name
is there a way to have the whole payload without creating a new App in Zapier? inputData didn't work
I'm trying to pull JSON from a Yahoo API to get the conversion rate of USD to SEK. However, I can't seem to get the JSON converted to a Hash, it shows "query" as being the only key since JSON comes in as one string.
The JSON request returns:
{"query":{"count":1,"created":"2016-12-04T13:06:00Z","lang":"en-us","results":{"rate":{"id":"USDSEK","Name":"USD/SEK","Rate":"9.1900","Date":"12/2/2016","Time":"9:59pm","Ask":"9.2000","Bid":"9.1900"}}}}
My code is as follow:
require 'net/http'
require 'json'
url = 'https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.xchange%20where%20pair%20in%20(%22USDSEK%22)&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys&callback='
uri = URI(url)
response = Net::HTTP.get(uri)
json_hash= JSON.parse(response)
puts json_hash["Rate"]
the puts statement returns 'nil'
I've tried following an example from this site, however I do not yield the same results based on the way my data is being brought as his is being statically entered.
*Note I am not using 'ostruct', trying simply with json.
Thank you for any insight.
As you can see, the field you are looking for is into an inner hash. Try
puts json_hash["query"]["results"]["rate"]["Rate"]
Have you check the structure of your json?
{
"query": {
"count": 1,
"created": "2016-12-04T13:06:00Z",
"lang": "en-us",
"results": {
"rate": {
"id": "USDSEK",
"Name": "USD/SEK",
"Rate": "9.1900",
"Date": "12/2/2016",
"Time": "9:59pm",
"Ask": "9.2000",
"Bid": "9.1900"
}
}
}
}
To fetch the rate key you should do something like:
json_hash["query"]["results"]["rate"]
Compare that with json above to understand your problem.
I am currently in the process of migrating an Express app to Heroku.
To keep sensitive information out of source, Heroku uses config vars which are assigned by to process variables of the same name.
Currently, I am loading my keys using .json, such as:
{
"key": "thisismykey",
"secret": "thisismysecret"
}
However, if I try to load the variables in via Heroku's format:
{
"key": process.env.KEY
"secret": process.env.SECRET
}
Obviously, I get an error here. I would assume that it is possible to load these values into JSON, but I'm not sure. How could I do this?
To generate JSON with these values, you would first create a JavaScript object and then use JSON.stringify to turn it into JSON:
var obj = { "key": process.env.KEY
"secret": process.env.SECRET };
var json = JSON.stringify(obj);
// => '{"key":"ABCDEFGH...","secret":"MNOPQRST..."}'
I am getting JSON returned in this format:
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"debtor": {
"debtor_id": 1301,
"key": value,
"key": value,
"key": value
}
}
}
Somehow, my RESTAdapter needs to provide my debtor model properties from "debtor" section of the JSON.
Currently, I am getting a successful call back from the server, but a console error saying that Ember cannot find a model for "status". I can't find in the Ember Model Guide how to deal with JSON that is nested like this?
So far, I have been able to do a few simple things like extending the RESTSerializer to accept "debtor_id" as the primaryKey, and also remove the pluralization of the GET URL request... but I can't find any clear guide to reach a deeply nested JSON property.
Extending the problem detail for clarity:
I need to somehow alter the default behavior of the Adapter/Serializer, because this JSON convention is being used for many purposes other than my Ember app.
My solution thus far:
With a friend we were able to dissect the "extract API" (thanks #lame_coder for pointing me to it)
we came up with a way to extend the serializer on a case-by-case basis, but not sure if it really an "Ember Approved" solution...
// app/serializers/debtor.js
export default DS.RESTSerializer.extend({
primaryKey: "debtor_id",
extract: function(store, type, payload, id, requestType) {
payload.data.debtor.id = payload.data.debtor.debtor_id;
return payload.data.debtor;
}
});
It seems that even though I was able to change my primaryKey for requesting data, Ember was still trying to use a hard coded ID to identify the correct record (rather than the debtor_id that I had set). So we just overwrote the extract method to force Ember to look for the correct primary key that I wanted.
Again, this works for me currently, but I have yet to see if this change will cause any problems moving forward....
I would still be looking for a different solution that might be more stable/reusable/future-proof/etc, if anyone has any insights?
From description of the problem it looks like that your model definition and JSON structure is not matching. You need to make it exactly same in order to get it mapped correctly by Serializer.
If you decide to change your REST API return statement would be something like, (I am using mock data)
//your Get method on service
public object Get()
{
return new {debtor= new { debtor_id=1301,key1=value1,key2=value2}};
}
The json that ember is expecting needs to look like this:
"debtor": {
"id": 1301,
"key": value,
"key": value,
"key": value
}
It sees the status as a model that it needs to load data for. The next problem is it needs to have "id" in there and not "debtor_id".
If you need to return several objects you would do this:
"debtors": [{
"id": 1301,
"key": value,
"key": value,
"key": value
},{
"id": 1302,
"key": value,
"key": value,
"key": value
}]
Make sense?
