Ruby on sinatra, JSON::parserError issue and 757: unexpected token - json

I use rest API on Ruby with sinatra.
I got payment information from IAMPORT,,,
def get_authrestapi()
#key = IMP_KEY
#secret = IMP_SECRET
response = RestClient.post 'https://api.iamport.kr/users/getToken', {'imp_key' => #key, 'imp_secret' => #secret}, :accept => :json
json = JSON.parse(response.to_json, symbolize_names: true)
return json['response']['access_token']
end
but, I got error message... like below
JSON::ParserError at /payments 757: unexpected token at '"{\"code\":0,\"message\":null,\"response\":{\"access_token\":\"9898....", "..."}}"'
How can I solve this problem?? I think,, there is problem that variable 'json' is not HASH..
Thanks.

Don't convert the response to json. It's already json.
Replace the following line:
json = JSON.parse(response.to_json, symbolize_names: true)
with:
json = JSON.parse(response, symbolize_names: true)

809: unexpected token at '' (JSON parser error ruby3.0.4 mac os catalina

I have just started learning ruby and trying to learn extracting web data. I am using samplewebapp code given in a sites API documentation
On executing the test.rb file as given below it generates a token.
The token.json file contains the following
{"access_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOiIzY2U1NjFhMC01ZmE5LTQ5NjUtYTQ2Mi01NmI2MzEzNjRlZGMiLCJqdGkiOiJmMjc0ZTgwM2FmZjVlMTFiMTAzNzIwMzAwNzRlNDRhZDE3ODg3ZjAzOGQ2ODk0OWIwNzVkMmQ5N2E2MjAwYzc5ZWRhNzU4MmQ3MTg1MTc1YiIsImlhdCI6MTY1NDU2OTc0MS41MjgxNTUsIm5iZiI6MTY1NDU2OTc0MS41MjgxNTcsImV4cCI6MTY1NDU3MzM0MS41MjgwMzksInN1YiI6IjE5NGFlNTU5LTU5OWMtNDQ2ZC1hOTRhLWM2MTIyYjZkMTA2ZiIsInNjb3BlcyI6W10sImNyZWRpdHNfcmVtYWluaW5nIjo0NzAwLCJyYXRlX2xpbWl0cyI6W3sicmF0ZSI6NSwiaW50ZXJ2YWwiOjYwfV19.XoN5A-H8Z7d8p_0e2rCcyV4yWO9MAF3TZlHk5VP5NjUEqtTXTVYKfKuzidYDs7K8ZzAtWzyt3aR5VSUG0_nw-uPd7Z3_Y75alQMqa2b5rHGn5JFWH7nuAriskr26WSCqAdj4cNjccPORryRr5sYKwpE4Y4kTG0IX_8frvwYxwp-8wFpLLj98K3axwN7CCpWdnPDSzuMqmH6tSpF0XhdYxB5LTVH0AyH7lN0S0_Lftq0b3sOLIvEaTfNkuRGNqwLkBYFkHFuPqwrKd8RJhC2W1QZhrmUw3eYnh-0iQABGk2V0skIqDlb6BbQ5GFX6MXgiXAc-h5Ndda7pZ5N5UCQU3g","expires_at":1654573341}
However it also generates a JSON parser error as under
/Users/mm/.rbenv/versions/3.0.4/lib/ruby/3.0.0/json/common.rb:216:in `parse': 809: unexpected token at '' (JSON::ParserError)

from /Users/mm/Desktop/prokerala/client.rb:21:in `parseResponse'
from /Users/mm/Desktop/prokerala/client.rb:99:in `get'
I googled around for a while and some of the responses talk about the issues between double and single quotes.. I tried changing those also but it doesn't work.
I have also tried running it with system ruby - which gives a different error
Would appreciate very much if someone could explain what the error is / logic behind this.. Also I am not clear about the error message itself. The message talks about parse error 809:"unexpected token" on column no 809 of the token there is nothing.. Am i reading it wrong?

running the test file using ruby 3.0.4 gives the a JSON parse error. Full error reproduced as below

from /Users/mm/Desktop/prokerala/client.rb:99:in `get'

I executed the above code and from this, we are getting
#<Net::HTTPMovedPermanently 301 Moved Permanently readbody=true> as response
and response body as empty string '', which results in error in parsing the body.
Since, API endpoint is secure with https, we need set use_ssl: true before starting the session. Try below code and it will fix the issue.
res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, use_ssl: true) do |http|
http.request(req)

Passing arguments as json object

I am trying to link my django web app to Azure ML API. I do have Django form with all the required inputs for my Azure API.
def post(self,request):
form = CommentForm(request.POST)
url = 'https://ussouthcentral.services.azureml.net/workspaces/7061a4b24ea64942a19f74ed36e4b438/services/ae2c257d6e164dca8d433ad1a1f9feb4/execute?api-version=2.0&format=swagger'
api_key = # Replace this with the API key for the web service
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json', 'Authorization':('Bearer '+ api_key)}
if form.is_valid():
age = form.cleaned_data['age']
bmi = form.cleaned_data['bmi']
args = {"age":age,"bmi":bmi}
json_data = str.encode(json.dumps(args))
print(type(json_data))
r= urllib.request.Request(url,json_data,headers)
try:
response = urllib.request.urlopen(r)
result = response.read()
print(result)
except urllib.request.HTTPError as error:
print("The request failed with status code: " + str(error.code))
print(json_data)
# Print the headers - they include the requert ID and the timestamp, which are useful for debugging the failure
print(error.info())
print(json.loads(error.read()))
return render(request,self.template_name)
When i try to submit the form i am getting type error -
TypeError('POST data should be bytes, an iterable of bytes, or a file object. It cannot be of type str.',)
Getting status code - 400 and below error
{'error': {'code': 'BadArgument', 'message': 'Invalid argument provided.', 'details': [{'code': 'RequestBodyInvalid', 'message': 'No request body provided or error in deserializing the request body.'}]}}
Arguments are using print(json_data) -
b'{"age": 0, "bmi": 22.0}'
Can someone help me on this?
Try to use JsonResponse:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/request-response/#jsonresponse-objects
Also, I don't think you need a template for API response.
return JsonResponse({'foo': 'bar'})
Thanks all. I found the error it was the data which was not in proper order.

JSON no longer parsable after being sent through TCP in Ruby

I've created a basic client and server that pass a string, which I've changed to JSON instead. But the JSON string is only parsable before it gets sent through TCP. After it's sent, the string version is identical (after a chomp), but on the server side it no longer processes the JSON correctly. Here is some of my code (with other bits trimmed)
Some of the client code
require 'json'
require 'socket'
foo = {'a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3}
puts foo.to_s + "......."
foo.to_json
puts foo['b'] # => outputs the correct '2' answer
client = TCPSocket.open('localhost', 2000)
client.puts json
client.close;
Some of the server code
require 'socket'
require 'json'
server = TCPServer.open(2000)
while true
client = server.accept # Accept client
response = client.gets
print response
response = response.chomp
response.to_json
puts response['b'] # => outputs 'b'
end
The output 'b' should be '2' instead. How do I fix this?
Thanks
In your server you wrote response.to_json. This turns a string to JSON, then throws it away. And I don't like the .chomp, either.
Try
response = client.gets
hash = JSON.parse(response)
Now hash is a Ruby Hash object with your data in it, and hash['b'] should work correctly.
The problem is that .to_json does not parse JSON inside a string and replace itself with the result. It is used to convert the string into a format that is an acceptable JSON value.
require 'json'
string = "abc"
puts string
puts string.to_json
This will output:
abc
"abc"
The method is added to the String class by the JSON generator and it uses it internally to generate the JSON document.
But why does your response['b'] return "b"?
Because Ruby strings have a method called [] that can be used to:
Return a substring: "abc"[0,2] => "ab"
Return a single character from index: "abc"[1] => "b"
Return a substring if the string contains it: "abc"["bc"] => "bc", "abc"["fg"] => nil
Return a regexp match: "abc"[/^a([a-z])c/, 1] => "b"
and possibly some other ways I can't think of right now.
So this happens because your response is a string that has the character "b" in it:
response = "something with a b"
puts response["b"]
# outputs b
puts response["x"]
# outputs a blank line because response does not contain "x".
Instead of .to_json your code has to call JSON.parse or JSON.load:
data = JSON.parse(response)
puts data['b']

Requests for Instagram Access token

I am working on Instagram API in Django(python)
I am getting code from
'https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=%s&response_type=code&redirect_uri=%s' % (INSTAGRAM_APP_CONSUMER_KEY, redirect_uri)
but when i am exchanging code for access token code is failing
# All arguments are valid
def execute(self, code, redirect_uri, app_id, app_secret):
exchange_url = 'https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token'
try:
#Update : get request to post
r = requests.post(exchange_url, params={
'client_id': app_id,
'redirect_uri': redirect_uri,
'client_secret': app_secret,
'code': code,
'grant_type': 'authorization_code'
})
#print(r)
#print(json.loads(r))
print(r.json())
return r.json()
except Exception as e:
print(e)
r.json() gives simplejson.scanner.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1
Update 1 : r.json() works after request changed from get to post but error
message comming 'You must provide a client_id'
Please let me know what i am doing wrong
I think it requires data in post data, not in query params.
Try this :
your_post_data = {'client_id': '', ... }
r = requests.post('your_url', data=your_post_data)

JSON to Hash in Ruby and vice-versa using Files - Parser Error

I am trying to save data from a Hash to a file. I convert it to JSON and dump it into the file.
When I try to parse back from file to hash I get JSON::ParserError
Code to convert Hash to JSON file: (works fine)
user = {:email => "cumber#cc.cc", :passwrd => "hardPASSw0r|)"}
student_file = File.open("students.txt", "a+") do |f|
f.write JSON.dump(user)
end
After adding a few values one by one to the file it looks something like this:
{"email":"test1#gmail.com","passwrd":"qwert123"}{"email":"test3#gmail.com","passwrd":"qwert12345"}{"email":"cumber#cc.cc","passwrd":"hardPASSw0r|)"}
I tried the following code to convert back to Hash but it doesn't work:
file = File.read('students.txt')
data_hash = JSON.parse(file)
I get
System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/json/common.rb:155:in `parse': 757: unexpected token at '{"email":"test3#gmail.com","passwrd":"qwert12345"}{"email":"cumber#cc.cc","passwrd":"hardPASSw0r|)"}' (JSON::ParserError)
from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/json/common.rb:155:in `parse'
from hash_json.rb:25:in `<main>'
My goal is to be able to add and remove values from the file.
How do I fix this, where was my mistake? Thank you.
This should work:
https://repl.it/EXGl/0
# as adviced by #EricDuminil, on some envs you need to include 'json' too
require 'json'
user = {:email => "cumber#cc.cc", :passwrd => "hardPASSw0r|)"}
student_file = File.open("students.txt", "w") do |f|
f.write(user.to_json)
end
file = File.read('students.txt')
puts "saved content is: #{JSON.parse(file)}"
p.s. hope that this is only an example, never store passwords in plain-text! NEVER ;-)
