I want to get data from API in Roku by passing parameter in body using post method if any one have any idea please late me know.
Thank you!
You can use the roURLTransfer's postFromString() method to do a post request. Just make sure to set the Content-Type header first so the server knows how to interpret the post body.
I haven't tested this, but it should get the general point across.
' Set a movie as a favorite
function markMovieAsFavorite(movieId as integer, isFavorite as boolean)
body = {
movieId: movieId
isFavorite: isFavorite
}
'create the request
request = createObject("roUrlTransfer")
'set the HTTP method. can be "GET", "POST", "PUT", etc...
request.setRequest("POST")
'assign the headers to the request,
request.setHeaders({
'set the content-type header
"Content-Type": "application/json"
})
'run the request
responseCode = request.postFromString(formatJson(body))
'check the response code to make sure it's ok.
return responseCode = 200
end function
You could also consider using a library like roku-requests which does most of this for you out of the box.

I'm trying to pass parameters in the request body, the documentation says :
The request to be sent was defined in a prior call to the Open method. The calling application can provide data to be sent to the server through the Body parameter. If the HTTP verb of the object's Open is "GET", this method sends the request without Body, even if it is provided by the calling application.
So, I need to use POST with body. But when I use use POST with body I have error "Bad Request: message text is empty" and when I use GET with body result is ok. Why?
My code:
WinHttp = NEW COMObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1");
WinHttp.Open("GET", "http://api.telegram.org/botbotname/sendMessage", 0);
WinHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
JSONWr = New JSONWriter();
JSONWr.ValidateStructure = False;
JSONParams = New JSONWriterSettings( , Chars.Tab);
JSONWr.SetString(JSONParams);
JSONWr.WriteStartObject();
JSONWr.WritePropertyName("chat_id");
JSONWr.WriteValue(UserId);
JSONWr.WritePropertyName("text");
JSONWr.WriteValue(Text);
JSONWr.WriteEndObject();
JSONString = JSONWr.Close();
WinHttp.Send(JSONString);
work, but how? And why the same with POST doesn`t work?
Using a HttpClientFeature implementation with responsePipeline.intercept seems the right way to change an HTTP response.
However, I do not understand how to update the response body. Especially I don't understand how to wrap the new HttpResponse to be passed in to proceedWith.
You can use the HttpResponseContainer to proceed with a new response body:
client.responsePipeline.intercept(HttpResponsePipeline.Transform) { (info, body) ->
val newBody = "test"
proceedWith(HttpResponseContainer(info, newBody))
}
I am completely new to coding. I am trying to build a dashboard in Klipfolio. I am using a CATSone API to pull data from CATSone to Klipfolio. However, I can only get 100 rows a time, which means I would have to pull data 2600 times.
I am now trying to build a script to get data from the API through Google Script Editor. However, since I have no experience in this, I am just trying stuff. I watched some videos, also from Ben Collins. The basis is simple, and I get what he is doing.
However, I have a problem with putting the API key.
var API_KEY = 'key'
function callCATSone(){
//Call the CATSone API for all candidate list
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://api.catsone.nl/v3/candidates");
Logger.log(response.getContentText());
// URL and params for the API
var url = 'https://api.catsone.nl/v3/candidates';
var params = {
'method': 'GET',
'muteHttpExceptions': true,
'headers': {
'Authorization': 'key ' + apikey
}
};
// call the API
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);
var data = response.getContentText();
var json = JSON.parse(data);
}
In the end, I would like to transfer all candidate list data to my sheets. Therefore, I call on the API with Authorization key. After that, I will manipulate the data, but that's for later. The first problem I now encounter, is this fail code:
'Verzoek voor https://api.catsone.nl/v3/candidates is mislukt. Foutcode: 401. Ingekorte serverreactie: {"message":"Invalid credentials."} (Gebruik de optie muteHttpExceptions om de volledige reactie te onderzoeken.) (regel 6, bestand 'Code')'.
I expect to get a list of all data from CATSone into my sheets.
Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
Two changes should fix the credentials error:
Authorization header should be Authorization: 'Token ' + yourApiKey instead of 'key ', see the v3 API documentation https://docs.catsone.com/api/v3/#authentication.
API key in your case is stored in a global variable API_KEY, you should reference it exactly like that, not as an apikey (unless there is a typo in your sample or some missing code): Authorization : 'Token ' + API_KEY.
Btw, it should probably set either a Content-Type header or a contentType parameter for UrlFetchApp.fetch() method call to application/json as UrlFetchApp.fetch() request content type defaults to application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
If you plan to continue working with APIs, it would be beneficial to read this MDN article.
I need to set some response headers within server.onPreHandler ext method.
There are 2 scenarios, where I need this happen when user sends an API request to my route end point.
1) In success scenario, I need to set headers and let process continue further down life cycle
2) In error scenario (where user has not provided a required field), I need to set headers and return immediately to user with appropriate error info.
In both of these scenarios, I would like to set response headers.
In the 2nd scenario above, I am able to invoke reply.response('error') and then set response header to it using response.header('x', 'value'). However, in the 1st scenario, where before calling reply.continue() I am trying to set header using request.response.header('x', 'value), I get response null error.
Please help
Thanks

I'm able to change response headers like this. Have you tried this way?
// at your onPreResponse ext body
const response = request.response;
if (request.response.isBoom) {
response.output.headers['x'] = 'value';
} else {
response.header('x', 'value');
}
I have a web API2 item that I need to read the 'body' of the incoming request. The client is sending information (via 'PUT') in the body opposed to parameters in the URL. I have been searching for a solution but keep hitting a wall. Can anyone advise how I can get this body text?
Thanks
<HttpOptions>
<Route("v1/cth/test"), AcceptVerbs("PUT", "POST", "OPTIONS")>
Public Function CTHInterface(ByVal passedjson As Object) As String
Return "Hello"
End Function
FYI, I finally managed to get to the body. Hope this helps someone else.
<HttpOptions>
<Route("v1/cth/dev"), AcceptVerbs("PUT", "POST", "OPTIONS")>
Public Function CTHInterfaceDev() As String
Dim CTHStream As New StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream)
Dim CTHBody As String = CTHStream.ReadToEnd
Return "Hello"
End Function
