Google Sheet API batchUpdateByDataFilter PHP Function - google-sheets-api

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/batchUpdateByDataFilter
We have used above function in our code, while we are passing the more than 50 or 100 records within the array records then given 400 bad request array in response.
Can anyone describe the limit of the total values that we are going to pass within the above function?
Here is my code:
$batchupdate = array("valueInputOption" => "RAW", "data" => $dataarray);
try {
$requestBody = new Google_Service_Sheets_BatchUpdateValuesByDataFilterRequest($batchupdate);
$response = $service->spreadsheets_values->BatchUpdateByDataFilter($spreadsheetId, $requestBody);
}
catch(Exception $e) {
echo 'Message: ' . $e->getMessage();
}

Troubleshooting:
Problems with the Request
Until you attach a sanitized version of your Request body we cannot be sure about the root-cause of the problem you are facing.
However, an error 400 means that the request you did is invalid. So, most likely, the problem is in that.
Check if your request object is formatted as detailed on the documentation.
Problems with the Client
If you are able to use the Try this API sidebar with the same Request Body then it could be related to the PHP client.
Note: This is language independent. Create a JSON Object that has the same structure as your request body.
If that's the case, we will need to see more of your code to verify that you are not using your valid Request body in an invalid way (eg. sending it encapsulated in another object).
By referencing the PHP Library documentation you can see the properties of the objects you can use.

Invalid request body error when sending json string as data to an external api using CL_HTTP_CLIENT

We are facing an issue while sending json data to an external api using CL_HTTP_CLIENT.
The JSON data is produced using '/ui2/cl_json=>serialize( data = ls_body compress = abap_true pretty_name = /ui2/cl_json=>pretty_mode-camel_case )' .
when sending this JSON as data the the external api returns status 400 with response as
{ "errorCode": "INVALID_REQUEST_BODY", "message": "The request body is missing or improperly formatted. Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: \u001f. Path '', line 0, position 0." } .
we also stringyfied this JSON Data in backend as it might be due to parsing error but it didnt work.
The same stringyfied data tried to send through browser console using ajax and it did worked without any issue.
could any any one tell us how to handle this json object and send this to external api using CL_HTTP_CLIENT.
Note : JSON STRING is deeply nested .
Thanks in advance..
You can use request catcher service for getting SAP output.
Then check your output has valid json.
Check external api with rest tool like postman or SoapUI. Every developer not track guidliness may be external api has limitations.
The issue was with the unicodes in the string.
these were not accepted by the external api so removed from the string and sent to api and it did worked.
Thanks for You suggestion.

Laravel 5.7 Handle email verification errors from API

I'm using laravel 5.7 to build an API REST.
When I add the verified middleware to my route group and I try to login with an unverified user by my client api, I get the error 400 Bad request. This error is too generic and don't show the problem clearly for my customer (it's happens in a login form).
If I to edit the render() method in Handler.php to ignore the isApiCall() and return parent::render($request, $e);, so I get the full error (Your email address is not verified, status 403), but when I try to return this in a json object with response()->json([$e]), the response is always empty.
So how to handle properly the api errors to be return the full message from exception, in this case?
You probably have already solved this problem, but this solution might help someone else:
The reason why your response was returning an empty array is because you were passing an Exception type object into the json function that is expecting an array. The response should look like this:
return response()->json(['message' => $e->getMessage()]);
This will return a json response like:
{
"message": "Your email address is not verified"
}

How to set http response code in Parse Server cloud function?

A parse server cloud function is defined via
Parse.Cloud.define("hello", function(request, response) {..});
on the response, I can call response.success(X) and response.error(Y), and that sets the http response code and the body of the response.
But how do I define a different code, like created (201)?
And how do I set the headers of the response?
thanks, Tim
You are allowed to return any valid JSON from response.success(). Therefore, you could create an object with fields such as code, message, and value, so you can set the code, give it a string descriptor, and pass back the value you normally would, if there is one. This seems to accomplish what you need, though you will have to keep track of those codes across your platforms. I recommend looking up standard http response codes and make sure you don't overlap with any standards.

How to log query string parameters with Postman

I'm using the tests of Postman to log into the console some of the details included in a JSON response.
The part of the test that logs is the following:
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
if (data.result[0] !== undefined) {
console.log(data.result[0].number, "|", data.result[0].category;
}
else console.log(QUERYSTRING_PARAMETER, "is not present");
I've tried many sintaxes/formats to have the value of the QUERYSTRING_PARAMETER passed to the test. However when data.result is empty with every sintax I've tried, the test simply logs QUERYSTRING_PARAMETER not defined. How can I pass the value from the query string parameters in the URL to the test to be evaluated/logged?
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure if it corresponds to what you need, but if you want data from your query, you may use the 'request' object (refer to the Postman sandbox, paragraph 'Request/response related properties').
You can get request method, url, headers and (maybe the one for you) data.

ShopStyle API - How to Invoke an HTTP request

How do I Invoke an HTTP request with a particular URL and process the body of the response as XML?
Information Provided by ShopStyle:
HOW TO USE THE API:
Choose the method that returns the data your application needs. For example, the /products method is used to get products that match a given category or brand.Construct a URL for that method with the appropriate host, method name, and query parameters. Invoke the URL as an HTTP GET.
When the HTTP response arrives, extract the required data elements from the response's body.The rest of this document describes the details of constructing the right URL for each of the API methods. The XML format of the responses may be seen by clicking on the sample URLs shown for each method. The responses in JSON format contain identical information, just in a different format.
SHOPSTYLE API URLS
All ShopStyle API URLs have the following form:
http://api.shopstyle.com/api/VERSION/METHOD_NAMEpid=YOUR_API_KEY&format=FORMAT&...
The METHOD_NAME is taken from the list of methods in the various API shown at left (Press Link To View List of Methods-https://www.shopstylecollective.com/api/overview).
COMMON API PARAMETERS
All methods in the API accept these parameters:
API_KEY (my unique key is ******************)
pid Unique API_KEY string that is assigned to the caller. You can find your API Key on the Account Settings page.
FORMAT
The format of the response. Supported values are:
json - The response is in JSON format with UTF-8 encoding. This is the default if the parameter is absent.
xml - The response is in XML format with UTF-8 encoding.
jsonp - The response is in JSON format with UTF-8 encoding wrapped in a JavaScript method called padding. The padding must be specified with the query parameter 'callback'. Only single expressions (function reference, or object property function reference) are accepted as valid padding.
When set to 1 or 'true' the HTTP status will always be 200. Use the field "errorCode" in the response to detect whether the API Call was successful. By default, when an error occur the HTTP Status of the response will be different than 200
Again I am a beginner, so please provide detailed information on how to retrieve CATEGORY data (Examples: Dresses, Tops, Buttoms, etc) in XML format.**
Thank you!!!
Here's a simple example to get your started. Copy the code below and put it into a file, say "cat.php". Then run it by typing "php cat.php" at a command prompt (assumes you have php on your machine):
<?php
// don't show dom parse errors
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
// grab the xml from the api
$response = file_get_contents("http://api.shopstyle.com/api/v2/categories?pid=TEST&format=xml");
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($response);
// grab all the categories
$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('categories');
foreach($elements as $node){
foreach($node->childNodes as $child) {
// get the name out of the category
$nodes = $child->getElementsByTagName("name");
foreach ($nodes as $name) {
echo $name->nodeValue . PHP_EOL;
}
}
}
