Calling a webservice using google closures jsonp and sending json as parameter - jsonp

I want to call a webservice using google closures, via jsonp since i am performing a cross domain webservice.
And i am calling it in the following manner
var url = "http://myurl/";
var jsonp = new goog.net.Jsonp(url);
jsonp.send(
{"name":"jessi","action":"initaction","gameId":"123"},
callback, callbackfailed);
But in this method the url is converted as a normal get method string as the follows
http://myurl/?name=jessi&action=initaction&gameId=123
But i need to send this url as a json object in the following manner
"name":"pari123","action":"initaction","gameId":"slotreel3"
How can i do this, i searched google and i couldnt find proper documentation regarding ?this.

The function goog.net.Jsonp.addPayloadToUri_ that is used to encode the object says:
#param {!Object} payload A map of value name pairs to be encoded.
A value may be specified as an array, in which case a query parameter
will be created for each value, e.g.:
{"foo": [1,2]} will encode to "foo=1&foo=2".
This is exactly what is happening. So, why not initialize your url with the query? e.g.
var url = "http://myurl.php?" + goog.json.serialize({"name":"jessi","action":"initaction","gameId":"123"});
var jsonp = new goog.net.Jsonp(url);
jsonp.send()
Untested but maybe this works.

How to send custom http response code back from spring cloud functions in gcp?

We are using the new gcp cloud functions using Java / Kotlin.
As in the current reference implementations, we are returning org.springframework.messaging.support.GenericMessage objects.
So our code looks like this (Kotlin):
fun generatePdfInBase64(message: Message<Map<String, Any>>): Message<*> {
val document = process(message)
val encoded = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(document.document)
return GenericMessage(encoded)
}
We were not able to find any way to include a custom http response code to our message, e.g. 201 or something. The function only responds 200 in case of no exception or 500.
Does someone know of a way to do this?
Best wishes
Andy
As it is mentioned at the official documentation, the HttpResponse class has a method called setStatusCode where you are able to set the number of the status as your convenience
For example:
switch (request.getMethod()) {
case "GET":
response.setStatusCode(HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK);
writer.write("Hello world!");
break;
On the other hand the constructor of the GenericMessage receives as parameter a payload, therefore I think you can create a string with a json format and use the constructor for create your GenericMessage instance with the status response you need.
If you want to know more about the statuds codes take a look at this document.

Call to java script code returning the ASCII encoding for ':' separating key and value of returned object

I making an api request using karate where one of the api request params takes a filter condition (which is a java script object).
I am using a literal notation to create a java script object as shown below. This code is in a separate filter.js file.
function() {
var params = {
val1:[],
val2:[]
};
return params;
}
Now i call the above .js file in the karate scenario as below:
Scenario: Test
Given path 'filtertest/'
* param filter = call read('classpath:feature/common/filter/filter.js')
When method get
Ran the above and when i check the log, the api throws bad request error. I looked at the request url and there i can see that the ':' in the js file where I am assigning a value to a object key is replaced with %3A which i believe is the ASCII encoding for ':'. (the param with its values below)
?filter=%7B%22val1%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22val2%22%3A%5B%5D
What I want is the ':' to come as it is from the .js call as the server side expects the filter param values as key value pairs.
Is there a way I can achieve this?
If your server cannot decode an encoded : it is a bug: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp
If you really need this - the workaround is to use the url keyword and build it manually, path and param will always encode.
Given url baseUrl + '/filtertest?filter=foo:bar'

Parsing XML Response In GateWayScript

Hi i am new to API connect ... i have a use case where i have to merge responses coming from two endpoints in XML format based on certain conditions.
My flow in the assemble section is like this
1) INVOKE
(i make my
first service call
and capture the response
in a custom 'Response
object varibale' -XMLResponse1
2) INVOKE
(i make my
second service call
and here i am not using any
custom 'Response object varibale'
Instead i am using apim.getvaribale('message.body') to get the response
3)GATEWAYSCRIPT
Here i want to write my script for parsing the xml and merging the two responses
and send back the merged response to the consumer
I observed that the xml response is not getting captured in a custom Response object variable when i try to capture it like below
var test1= apim.getvariable('XMLResponse1');
test1.item(0).childNodes
it throws me an exception like this
test1.item is not a function
now for the second response like below where i am not capturing the response in a custom Response object variable it works well
var test2= apim.getvariable('message.body');
My question:
1)How do i capture the xml responses in a custom Response object variable?
2)How can i parse the response into a javascript object? are there any libraries supported in api connect?
Below is the samples found from IBM community. Hope this may help you.
**** Sample XML ****
<Routing>
<partner name="Partner A" key="1">
<from_ID>PartnerA-KEY1-INT</from_ID>
<to_ID>PartnerA-KEY1-EXT</to_ID>
<destination>PartnerA-KEY1-DESTINATION</destination>
</partner>
<partner name="Partner B" key="2">
<from_ID>PartnerB-KEY2-INT</from_ID>
<to_ID>PartnerB-KEY2-EXT</to_ID>
<destination>PartnerB-KEY2-DESTINATION</destination>
</partner>
<partner name="Partner C" key="3">
<from_ID>PartnerC-KEY3-INT</from_ID>
<to_ID>PartnerC-KEY3-EXT</to_ID>
<destination>PartnerC-KEY3-DESTINATION</destination>
</partner>
</Routing>
**** Corresponing Gateway Script *****
var response = apim.getvariable('XMLResponse1.body');
var objType = response.item(0);
var string = objType.getElementsByTagName("partner").item(0).getElementsByTagName("from_ID").item(0).textContent;
output ---> string = PartnerA-KEY1-INT
Why do you want to merge them in a GatewayScript node??
You could merge them in a mapping node, in wich you have 2 variables as input (refered to the output objects of your invokes) and one XML object as output...
If you have to apply some conditions or comparisons, you could do them in the code part of the mapping nodes

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.

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;
}
}
}
