POST request with Array

[Sheldon Young]

Guys any lead way on this issue.. I see that the POST 411 error has been fixed, but i'm still in need of a way to POST array from grid column Layout. I to know the proper way to do this in appery.. I will need to show some progress on this app by Friday and this is the only holdup.

Hello! Sorry for delay. Working on it.

[Maryna Brodina]

You can't do this with mapping only, you would need to add custom JS in mapping and return arrayprevar arr = [];
$('[name="labelName"]').not('[_tmpl=true]').each(function(){
arr.push($(this).text());
})
return arr;/pre

Thanks Maryna, I can see where this would slit the data. But when i try to POST im getting a 500 error back from the API and this is what the they had to say about it -

"Due to a recent behavioral change in our API, a number of API responses that were incorrectly returning a HTTP 401 error are now returning a HTTP 500 error.
This issue may impact stores with a high volume of simultaneous API requests. These stores may receive a 500 error as part of the defenses we have in place to prevent a single store adversely impacting other stores.
Our recommendation is to spread API requests across the full 1 hour rolling window using the rate limit information returned to you in API responses, and minimize the number of simultaneous API requests per store."

Now the array i posted was only Three data.. But I'm not sure is that's the issue here. Because this is the layout of my Request Payload being sent:

I don't think this is the way it should be setup, am i wrong?

Do you think there is a way to POST 3 different request(or as many as the array holds). to the API? for example: After using method above to split the values into array, can we send one value at a time until it loop through the array of value?

[Kateryna Grynko]

Hi Sheldon,

[quote:]Do you think there is a way to POST 3 different request(or as many as the array holds)[/quote]Sure. In JS code go through all the data and invoke service as many times as you need: http://docs.appery.io/documentation/r...

[Sheldon Young]

Thanks katya ive done that and ur works great. Now there is just one more step in this process I need your help figuring out. Ok when I POST this request, I rely on response data to run my next function. The issue I'm having now is that one parameter from the response is a url to another json file. I Need to capture that url then send a Get request and input the response from this GET request as the value in said field. Now what I have done was write an Ajax call in the mapping js to GET the new data, but I'm having the cross-domain issue. So my question is this, is there a way for me to use the Appery Proxy in my Ajax call? If so, how?..

[Maryna Brodina]

Hello! Sure, please take a look here http://docs.appery.io/documentation/s...

[Sheldon Young]

Hi maryna, I follow the document on Proxy API, to send request from an ajax written in my mapping JS. this is what happens:

My code in the response mapping JS field, where i received a json url that i must make a call to:

precode
var URL = value;
Auth = getAuth();
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
contentType: 'application/json',
Authorization: Auth,
appery-rest: "9a3bee38-30ab-48b1-b68e-1a01b99df8e7",
appery-proxy-url: URL,
appery-transformation: "checkTunnel",
success: function(data) {
result = JSON.parse(data);
alert(result.state);
// return result.state;
}
});
/code/pre

What appery put out in the actual .js file when testing:

precode
var URL = value;
Auth = getAuth();
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
contentType: 'application/json',
Authorization: Auth,
appery - rest: '9a3bee38-30ab-48b1-b68e-1a01b99df8e7',
appery - proxy - url: URL,
appery - transformation: 'checkTunnel',
success: function(data) {
result = JSON.parse(data);
alert(result.state);
// return result.state;
}
});
/code/pre
As you can see the spaces in the Proxy header parameters. How would i handle this? or is it a bug on your end?

[Nikita]

Hello.
Unfortunately, this is a appery's bug. Workaround should be following: add code to custom JS as function, and in service's mapping just call this function.

[Sheldon Young]

Ok make sense Nikita...

But for the life of me I can't figure out the correct way to write an Ajax Request call using Appery Proxy. Here is what i have, please let me know if im going about this the correct way.

pre
code
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "https://appery.io/app/rest/tunnel",
contentType: 'application/json',
headers: {
'Authorization' : THE AUTH I NEED,
'appery-rest' : '12345678-2222-2D4D-DdDd-000000000',
'appery-proxy-url' : 'https://URL/somefile.json',
'appery-transformation' : 'checkTunnel',
},
success: function(data) {
result = JSON.parse(data);
return result.state;
}
});
/code
/pre

now am i missing anything? or there a correct way of using the proxy
