How to fetch any API using URL by passing some value using form and get response according to form data from...
0
everyone, I am a beginner in nodejs and expressjs. So while practicing I got a question in my mind is that I am having one URL from where I want to fetch data and I simply did it.
Following is the code:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var request = require('request');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
var urlencoderparser = bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended : true });
var data;
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
request.get('http://mysafeinfo.com/api/data?list=englishmonarchs&format=json', function(err, res, body){
if(err) {
return console.log(error);
}
data = JSON.parse(body);
});
res.render('index', {data: data});
console.log(data);
});
app.listen(3000);
And this code is working fine.
Then I thought to change the URL by passing values using form.
we can enter a value in the form. The value should be either XML or JSON and according to that it will change the URL like the code given below:
var url = 'http://mysafeinfo.com/api/data?list=englishmonarchs&format='+form_data
Now for this, I tried request.post() in this way:
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
Request.post({
"headers": { "content-type": "application/json" },
"url": "http://mysafeinfo.com/api/data?list=englishmonarchs&format="+form_data,
}, (error, response, body) => {
if(error) {
return console.log(error);
}
data = JSON.parse(body);
});
res.render('index', {data: data});
});
app.listen(3000);
But this is not working.
Please help me to know where I am wrong and whether this way is correct for coding in nodejs or expressjs?

What type of error did you get? For the POST example. Is it in an another file or at the same where GET request? For the first look you requirevar request = require('request');but in the GET request you use request with a lowercase and in the POST you use with a camelcase.

I'm sorry, but is form_data defined anywhere? Shouldn't you use something like req.body.form_data rather than simply form_data?
