Nothing returning when calling Just watch API domain: apis.justwatch.com

[nathanfrindt]

The just watch api domain: apis.justwatch.com does not seem to be returning any information.

[lufinkey]

Could you give some examples of what you're calling and what it's returning?

[nathanfrindt]

I have attached screen shots which show the domain not returning a response using postman to see the contents an api. The error I receive when testing my application and calling the information, errors out with a warning at my call to the API. I have also pasted my code as a reference for how I am calling providers and titles. const Alexa = require('ask-sdk-core'); const GetRemoteDataHandler = { canHandle(handlerInput) { return handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.type === 'LaunchRequest' || (handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.type === 'IntentRequest' && handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.intent.name === 'GetRemoteDataIntent'); }, async handle(handlerInput) { let outputSpeech = 'Welcome to where to watch, ask me a tv show or a movie title and I will tell you which streaming services it is available on'; await getRemoteData('apis.justwatch.com') .then((response) => { const data = JSON.parse(response); outputSpeech = `The title ${data.title_id} is available on ${data.providers}. `; for (let i = 0; i < data.providers; i++) { if (i === 0) { //first record outputSpeech = outputSpeech + 'The title is available on' + data.providers[i] + ', ' } else if (i === data.providers - 1) { //last record outputSpeech = outputSpeech + 'and ' + data.providers[i] + '.' } else { //middle record(s) outputSpeech = outputSpeech + data.providers[i] + ', ' } } }) .catch((err) => { //set an optional error message here //outputSpeech = err.message; }); return handlerInput.responseBuilder .speak(outputSpeech) .getResponse(); }, };

Sorry to be like this but could you format your code with the markdown backticks so it's readable?

[lufinkey]

Are you using this module? It doesn't look like it's being used anywhere in your code

[nathanfrindt]

Yeah of course I can write it in markdown format so you can read/understand the code. I will send you my code and the corresponding markdown file with it once I finish editing it. Thanks Note: I am new to coding Alexa skills and am using an api template to call the just watch api. So feel free to let me know which references are incorrect/ using incorrect format with node.js.

You don't need to send me a markdown file. Just edit your comment and wrap the code with triple backticks

It doesn't look like you're actually using my module at all, though?

[nathanfrindt]

I am referencing the api in this line : await getRemoteData('apis.justwatch.com <http://apis.justwatch.com/>’). can you give me an example of what you mean when you say “to edit my comment and wrap it with triple backticks” I know how to edit/add comments but don’t understand what triple backticks are.

You're referencing the website. Not this module. I don't control the website.

[lufinkey]

It may be that you're not using "https" in the url. Have you tried that?

[nathanfrindt]

Ok I’ll try using https and if that doesn’t work I’ll try calling your module instead. I was using that domain from what was listed in the index.js you had.

Hi Luis, I modified my code to include your module before making references to the attributes I am calling to pull the provider and title information. However I am still unable to retrieve information. Please my attached index.js to see where I am calling the providers/titles for my application. Let me know if you have any idea why I am still unable to pull in information. Thanks, Nathan

Hi Luis instead of using the process of calling the Just watch api I am now calling it from your module. Please see my code below: const JustWatch = require('justwatch-api'); function speak(name, result) { console.log(name+":"); console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 4)); console.log("\n\n\n\n"); } (async function(){ var justwatch = new JustWatch(); var searchResult = await justwatch.search({query: 'always sunny'}); var title = await justwatch.getTitle(searchResult.items[0].id); var Provider = await justwatch.getProviders(searchResult); })(); const GetRemoteDataHandler = { canHandle(handlerInput) { return handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.type === 'LaunchRequest' || (handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.type === 'IntentRequest' && handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.intent.name === 'GetRemoteDataIntent'); }, async handle(handlerInput) { const response = await httpGet(); console.log(response); return handlerInput.responseBuilder .speak(response.title + "is available on the following providers, " + response.Provider) .getResponse(); }, }; I am still unable to return any information from the module. Please let me know if I am doing something incorrect. Thanks, Nathan
