cannot get document id using box view api - box-api

In my app, after get "https://dl.boxcloud.com/*" url and send it to the View API, I receive this error:
{
message: "JSON parse error - No JSON object could be decoded"
type: "error"
request_id: "3ef12abcaf7a4c5abab5fb0d3959255e"
}
you can use this chrome extension to recreate this error
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/advanced-rest-client/hgmloofddffdnphfgcellkdfbfbjeloo
I tried with the other rest clients and it work correctly. Except in my app and the extension above.

If this is the case, it's likely that the client you're using isn't actually sending properly formatted JSON. One way to debug this would be to output the raw HTTP request the client is sending and ensuring that it's actually sending the JSON properly.

VM892:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token e in JSON at position 0

I'm presently working on a phx / phoenix API written in Elixir. And I have created a frontend for the API using React.js. However, I'm getting the below error message in the JS console of the browser.
I have successfully created a user using Postman, so I'm 99% sure the error isn't with the phx project, but rather somewhere with the React project.
I have both the frontend and backend hosted on github. And a .env file will need to be created in the root of the React project with the below line,
REACT_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:4000/api
and was working my way through the following tutorial.
Any and all help would greatly be appreciated.
The output of localStorage.getItem("token") being

suggests that for some reason, the app stored the token without passing it through JSON.stringify, and calling JSON.parse on this string throws the Unexpected token e error, as expected.
I did not see any localStorage.setItem without JSON.stringify in the current code, so the token was probably stored like that in a previous version of the app. You should try clearing it manually and logging in again.
When we get the non-JSON response, we get such error..
To avoid such error, mention the responseType: Text in your api endpoint call.
This will work,
return this.http.post(`${environment.apiUrl}/login`, user, {responseType: 'text'});
This will not work(If you mention type),
return this.http.post<string>(`${environment.apiUrl}/login`, user, {responseType: 'text'});
This error message usually means you're getting a non-JSON response. If you look at the raw response in the Network tab of your debugger, you should be able to see what you're getting back from the server.

Raw Json data in request in liferay web service

I am using liferay 6.2 & i have invoked few web services.The thing is that when passing parameters as form data it works fine, get the json response, but the issue is when pass parameters as raw data json form it gives error "message": "No JSON web service action associated with path /login/user-login and method POST for //xxx-portlet"
This means it doesn't work with Content-Type: application/json. I was trying these things through postman the tool in chrome.I want the my json web service should accept the json raw data in request.

Google OAuth - Incorrect JSON while Validating Access Token

I'm getting an access token from the Android SDK which I'm sending to the server. On the server side, I'm calling the following API to validate my token:
https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token=<token here>
From Google, I'm getting the following response (partial response added):
{\"statusCode\":200,\"body\":\"{n \"issued_to\":
\"407408718192.apps.googleusercontent.com\",n \"audience\":
\"407408718192.apps.googleusercontent.com\",n \"user_id\":
\"110586055381870434283\",n \"scope\":
\"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me"}
Unfortunately, this JSON is not parseable because of the backslashes & i'm not able to validate the token identity.
Is this a problem with the Google API or do I need to apply any regex?
Google sends back proper JSON without the slashes, being exactly the part that's inside the "body" element of the output that you paste (well without the slashes).
So your Node.js HTTP client is wrapping it with the HTTP status code element and puts in the slashes as well, so your clients need convert back from that on its own.

Get request works with curl but not with javascript

I am trying to access information through a GET request. My javascript code is getting a successful response, but with an empty JSON array. I am trying to debug using curl and Firefox. Here is where it gets strange.
Here is a successful request through the Firefox:
http://api.example.com/v4/layers/2178198/features?token=...&filter=time%253E1384889546
This returns a bunch of data. This also works in my javascript code.
Now I do exactly the same request with a slightly different resource:
http://api.example.com/v4/layers/2178199/features?token=...&filter=time%253E1384889546
And I get a success, but the JSON array returned is empty. I do this exact same request with curl (from the same machine):
curl http://api.example.com/v4/layers/2178199/features?token=...&filter=time%253E1384889546
and I get a JSON array full of data.
So I know that I can GET data from the server with javascript and Firefox. And I know that this resource is valid, because I can access it through CURL. Why oh why do I get no data when accessing through the browser? I am very confused.

Not able to fetch the json response through angularjs

Need to fetch the build values from apache.org. So i am using their api
https://builds.apache.org/api/json
I tried angularjs $http.jsonp but not able to fetch the data.
In chrome console under network json api is getting loaded but the data is not getting returned instead it is throwing the response as error.
app.controller("jsoncontroller",function($scope,$http){
var url='https://builds.apache.org/api/json';
$http.jsonp(url).success(function(data){
console.log('success');
})
.error(function () {
console.log('error')
});
});
Getting the error as
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :
error
As per the jsonp angular docs, you must append JSON_CALLBACK to the URL: https://builds.apache.org/api/json?jsonp=JSON_CALLBACK
However, that URL doesn't work because even when the callback parameter is specified, the server still sends back a content-type of application/json, instead of the expected application/javascript. This causes it to be parsed (evidently) by the json parser instead of the javascript callback needed for JSONP to work. I'm not versed enough in JSONP or Angular to know who is it fault here.
I've made a fiddle with this working with another URL.
[Update]: The apache build server appears to use Jenkins, which has disable JSONP from the remote API. You can verify this yourself by trying to hit their jsonp endpoint, which returns a 403. You'll have to use another endpoint, no way I can see around this.
