I'm trying to get data from my limesurvey and wonder why in API request I need to pass id: 1 as the third body parameter.
{method:'get_session_key',params:['myusername','mypassword'],id:1}
If I omit id or pass id:0, I will get the response data with an empty string. I can put any positive and negative integers there and I don't know exactly why it is required.
I'm following instructions on RemoteControl 2 API
That's the request id.
On the jsonRPCClient (component outside of LS) code it is fixed to 1.
I think it is part of a standard to use notifications, which are not used on LS API.
So, just fix it to 1 :)

When returning Problem result ASP.NET generates standartized responce model that includes "traceId": "00-d98512464f3f5a4b9ac3b8e02a03ecd0-8720663d0b55c94a-00". That traceId is actually Correlation id since it includes Span Id and other stuff.
That's great for error responses, but I also want to get that value for valid ones. Possible solution for this is to add it to response headers.
Issue is I have no idea, how to get it (except calling Problem().Value and getting it from there).
Look at System.Diagnostics.Activity.Current (docs)
It has the properties SpanId, TraceId and Id. Id returns the same value as Problem result (00-d98512464f3f5a4b9ac3b8e02a03ecd0-8720663d0b55c94a-00 in your case).
I have a use-case where I need to first call an API to get a list of ID's. From this response a random ID is chosen. Next I call a 2nd API which uses the random ID as a component in the path.
It's possible the 2nd API call can return an empty response, therefore I want to utilize retry until but use a different random ID in the path per retry iteration.
I've tried a couple of things:
First "in-lining" the JS function in the path to get a random ID:
Given path firstPart, myGetRandomId(idList), lastPart
And retry until response.length > 1
Second, tried putting the JS function in a Examples: as part of a Scenario Outline:
Given path firstPart, <ID>, lastPart
And retry until response.length > 1
Examples:
| ID |
| myGetRandomId(idList) |
The general issue I can't figure out is how to get the JS function to evaluate in either of this "in-line" kind of approaches.
And ideas/suggestions appreciated.
The way that the Karate retry until works is that it will re-play the request as-is and you can't modify it.
So you have to take a different approach. Use a JS loop. Look at this example in the demos:

Looking at https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/ I have gathered that calling https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN will return "the most recent media published by the owner of the access_token."
In sandbox mode I understand that I will receive a maximum of 20 media items from this call. I also realize that the response code has a pagination object that I can use to retrieve up to 20 more media items (see below)
"pagination": {
"next_max_tag_id": "1387272337517",
"deprecation_warning": "next_max_id and min_id are deprecated for this endpoint; use min_tag_id and max_tag_id instead",
"next_max_id": "1387272337517",
"next_min_id": "1387272345517",
"min_tag_id": "1387272345517",
"next_url": "https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/cats/media/recent?access_token=xxx&max_tag_id=1387272337517"
}
These are the listed parameters of this Request.
PARAMETERS
ACCESS_TOKEN A valid access token.
MAX_ID Return media earlier than this max_id.
MIN_ID Return media later than this min_id.
COUNT Count of media to return.
My question is: Is there a way to structure my GET request in a way that returns all media items from a single call? I understand that this is not possible in sandbox mode, given a user with more than 20 media items. If possible please provide a detailed explanation of the COUNT parameter.
I imagine a possible GET request would look like https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN?COUNT=X
Thank you. <3
When you go live mode you can use the count= param to get more than 20 in one API call, however I have noticed that count=33 is the maximum you can get for this API call, even if you anything more than 33, it only returns 33.
You still have to use the pagination in JSON response to get the next set of media items, easiest way is to use the pagination.next_url to make API call and get next set of media items
I'm using JMeters to automate API testing to/from our database using basic CRUD methodology. After the record creation, I'm trying to perform 3 different types of Reads (think CRRRUD). :)
Read 1 - Retrieve by ID
HTTP (GET) the base URL is appended with the saved record ID.
http..../crud/tableName/${newRecordId}
This returns
Read 2 - Retrieve by field type with no defined value
HTTP (POST) the base URL is extended with a "search" as the end. A Key is defined ("name") with no value.
http..../crud/tableName/search
Parameter Name = name
Value = {undefined}
This returns all records within the table whose field ("name") is not null.
Read 3 - Retrieve by field type with a defined value
HTTP (POST) the base URL is extended with a "search" as the end. A Key is defined ("name") with the value generated during the creation request.
http..../crud/tableName/search
Parameter Name = name
Value = Metropolis
This, too, returns ALL of the records within the table instead of just the record(s) whose name = Metropolis.
This 3rd Retrieve works properly when using a REST client, (e.g., Postman, Advanced REST Client, etc.) when defining the Key|Value pair as "name|Metropolis". So it must be something within JMeter that I'm missing.
Any insight is appreciated!
There is only one correct answer: compare what's being sent by REST Client and JMeter using sniffer tool (i.e. Wireshark), detect the differences and configure JMeter accordingly.
Just a guess: given you mentioned "API" an "REST" words maybe you need to pass it as JSON like:
{"name":"Metropolis"}
as a single parameter value
or in formatted way (in case if server checks Content-Length and/or wants the request to be properly formatted)
You may also need to add HTTP Header Manager in order to send Content-Type header with the value of application/json. See Testing SOAP/REST Web Services Using JMeter guide for more details.
I'm working on an application that uses Ushahidi to return an array of JSON objects using a HTTP GET request. I would like to use two parameters in the request. These parameters are category id and max id. In the URL below the first parameter is &by=catid&id=2 and the second is &by=maxid&id=499. The example below will only read the last parameter entered. So the catid parameter would be ignored.
http://fixyourstreet.ie/api?task=incidents&by=catid&id=2&by=maxid&id=499
Why will this request only return JSON objects by the last parameter entered rather than both parameters?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Those requests typically get parsed as key-value dictionaries by web servers.
This means the "by" parameter can only have one value when your request is processed and responded to. You will have to make 2 subsequent requests if you need all these values :
http://fixyourstreet.ie/api?task=incidents&by=catid&id=2
http://fixyourstreet.ie/api?task=incidents&by=maxid&id=499
