ERROR: httpResponse is not an object.

[davidl14970702]

I am using the HTTPRequest to GET lead lists form a third party (FB,MailChimp ect..). I can make the correct request and get back data but I am not sure of what steps to take next. I thought I could just use dot notion to iterate through the nested objects/array's. How can I iterate through the response object for specific keys?

Adobe Campaign​Adobe Campaign​API Error​

Here is my code:

var url = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=mount%20juliet&APPID=a1fc052d2344c79bc4cbecb9de90fc...";
var http = new HttpClientRequest(url);
http.header["Content-Type"] = "application/xml";
http.method="Get";
http.execute();
var httpResponse = http.response.body.toString();
logInfo(httpResponse);

What comes next? Why does httpResponse.name not return the city name of the object?

If I just take the toString() result (literally copy and paste) it into another var I am able to get the key:value pair.

  var wd = {"coord": {"lon":-86.52,"lat":36.2},
            "weather":[{"id":800,"main":"Clear","description":"clear sky","icon":"01d"}],
            "base":"stations",
            "main":{"temp":305.65,"pressure":1018,"humidity":31,"temp_min":304.15,"temp_max":306.15},
            "visibility":16093,
            "wind":{"speed":1.5,"deg":220},
            "clouds":{"all":1},"dt":1528494960,
            "sys":{"type":1,"id":2522,"message":0.0038,"country":"US","sunrise":1528453704,"sunset":1528506150},
            "id":4643336,
            "name":"Mount Juliet",
            "cod":200};
  //this loop returns all the keys in the object
  Object.keys(wd).forEach(function(key){
    //logInfo(key);
  });
  var name = wd.name;
logInfo(name);

When I use the method toDocument() I get the 3 keys available, but I still can't index or iterate to the correct key:value pair.

var httpResponse = http.response.body.toDocument();  
 Object.keys(httpResponse).forEach(function(key){
    logInfo(key);
  });

This gets me 'name is undefined'

var httpResponse = http.response.body.toString();
var name = http.response.body.name;
logInfo(name);

It doesn't seem like Adobe Campaign uses dot or bracket notation to parse the httpResponse objects. What am I missing?

HI David,

Use below function to get the response from Request obj

function getResponseJSON(request)
{
var responseJSON = {};
  if(request &&& request.response && request.response.body) {
    var rawResponse = request.response.body.toString();
    if(rawResponse)
    {
      responseJSON = JSON.parse(rawResponse);
      if(responseJSON)
      {
  logInfo(responseJSON.toSource());
        return responseJSON;
      }
    }
  }
  return responseJSON;
}

Regards,

Amit

Amit Kumar​,

thank you for the timely response.

I get a syntax error on the &&&. is that meant to be &&?

Perhaps I am a bit too novice, but could you provide some explanation on how to use this? I've plugged this function in a few different ways and I'm not returning anything (besides the syntax error). no errors and no data.

Is the 'request' variable in your function supposed to be my key:value pair I am looking for?

[Amit_Kumar]

yeah, it's &&. I made a typo.

here you go, do not forget to add required libraries.

2. function getResponseJSON(request) 
3. { 
4. var responseJSON = {}; 
5.   if(request && request.response && request.response.body) { 
6.     var rawResponse = request.response.body.toString(); 
7.     if(rawResponse) 
8.     { 
9.       responseJSON = JSON.parse(rawResponse); 
10.       if(responseJSON) 
11.       { 
12.   logInfo(responseJSON.toSource()); 
13.         return responseJSON; 
14.       } 
15.     } 
16.   } 
17.    
18.   return responseJSON; 
19. }
20. var url = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=mount%20juliet&APPID=a1fc052d2344c79bc4cbecb9de90fc..."; 
21. var http = new HttpClientRequest(url);
22. http.header["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
23. http.method="Get"; 
24. http.execute();
25. var httpResponse =getResponseJSON(http); 
26. logInfo(httpResponse.name);

1. function getResponseJSON(request) 
2. { 
3. var responseJSON = {}; 
4.   if(request &&& request.response && request.response.body) { 
5.     var rawResponse = request.response.body.toString(); 
6.     if(rawResponse) 
7.     { 
8.       responseJSON = JSON.parse(rawResponse);

10.       { 
11.   logInfo(responseJSON.toSource()); 
12.         return responseJSON; 
13.       } 
14.     } 
15.   }

[Amit_Kumar · Accepted solution]

ignore the second part, Forums formatting messed up. use this

1. function getResponseJSON(request)
2. {
3. var responseJSON = {};
4.   if(request && request.response && request.response.body) {
5.     var rawResponse = request.response.body.toString();
6.     if(rawResponse)
7.     {
8.       responseJSON = JSON.parse(rawResponse);
9.       if(responseJSON)
10.       {
11.   logInfo(responseJSON.toSource());
12.         return responseJSON;
13.       }
14.     }
15.   }
16.   
17.   return responseJSON;
18. }
19. var url = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=mount%20juliet&APPID=a1fc052d2344c79bc4cb ecb9de90fc17&mode=json";
20. var http = new HttpClientRequest(url);
21. http.header["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
22. http.method="Get";
23. http.execute();
24. var httpResponse =getResponseJSON(http);
25. logInfo(httpResponse.name);

Thanks again!

I am now able to parse the object as expected!
