### `request` is now deprecated. It is recommended you use an alternative:
- native HTTP/S, `const https = require(&#39;https&#39;);`
- [node-fetch][2]
- [axios][1]
- [got][4]
- [superagent][3]

[Stats comparision][5]
[Some code examples][6]

### Original answer:

The request module makes this really easy. Install request into your package from npm, and then you can make a get request.

    var request = require(&quot;request&quot;)
    
    var url = &quot;http://developer.cumtd.com/api/v2.2/json/GetStop?&quot; +
        &quot;key=d99803c970a04223998cabd90a741633&quot; +
        &quot;&amp;stop_id=it&quot;
    
    request({
        url: url,
        json: true
    }, function (error, response, body) {
    
        if (!error &amp;&amp; response.statusCode === 200) {
            console.log(body) // Print the json response
        }
    })


You can find documentation for request on npm: https://npmjs.org/package/request

This example from the [json.Unmarshal][1] docs (slightly modified for simplicity to use `Animal` instead of `[]Animal`) works, no errors:

[Playground link of working example][2]

    // ...
    var animals Animal
    err := json.Unmarshal(jsonBlob, &amp;animals)
    // ...

But this slightly modified example doesn&#39;t:

[Playground link of non-working example][3]

    // ...
    var animals *Animal
    err := json.Unmarshal(jsonBlob, animals)
    // ...

It displays this obscure error that really isn&#39;t helpful (looks more like a function call than an error IMO):

&gt; json: Unmarshal(nil *main.Animal)

This appears to be because `animals` is an uninitialized pointer. But the docs say (emphasis mine):

&gt; Unmarshal unmarshals the JSON into the value pointed at by the pointer. **If the pointer is nil, Unmarshal allocates a new value for it to point to.**

So why does unmarshaling fail in the second example and show that obscure error?

(Also, is it &quot;unmarshalling&quot; or &quot;unmarshaling&quot; (one L)? The docs use both.)

  [1]: http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/#Unmarshal

Why does json.Unmarshal work with reference but not pointer?

In shell I have a requirement wherein I have to read the JSON response which is in the following format:

     { &quot;Messages&quot;: [ { &quot;Body&quot;: &quot;172.16.1.42|/home/480/1234/5-12-2013/1234.toSort&quot;, &quot;ReceiptHandle&quot;: &quot;uUk89DYFzt1VAHtMW2iz0VSiDcGHY+H6WtTgcTSgBiFbpFUg5lythf+wQdWluzCoBziie8BiS2GFQVoRjQQfOx3R5jUASxDz7SmoCI5bNPJkWqU8ola+OYBIYNuCP1fYweKl1BOFUF+o2g7xLSIEkrdvLDAhYvHzfPb4QNgOSuN1JGG1GcZehvW3Q/9jq3vjYVIFz3Ho7blCUuWYhGFrpsBn5HWoRYE5VF5Bxc/zO6dPT0n4wRAd3hUEqF3WWeTMlWyTJp1KoMyX7Z8IXH4hKURGjdBQ0PwlSDF2cBYkBUA=&quot;, &quot;MD5OfBody&quot;: &quot;53e90dc3fa8afa3452c671080569642e&quot;, &quot;MessageId&quot;: &quot;e93e9238-f9f8-4bf4-bf5b-9a0cae8a0ebc&quot; } ] }

Here I am only concerned with the &quot;Body&quot; property value. I made some unsuccessful attempts like:

     jsawk -a &#39;return this.Body&#39; 
or 

     awk -v k=&quot;Body&quot; &#39;{n=split($0,a,&quot;,&quot;); for (i=1; i&lt;=n; i++) print a[i]} 

But that did not suffice. Can anyone help me with this?


Read JSON data in a shell script

For context, it on a remote server which has a firewall. I&#39;m setting up my environment through a proxy. I have `ruby 1.8.7`. When I try to gem install..

Ignore missing properties during Jackson JSON deserialization in Java

I have always been trying to avoid using most of the HTTP protocol&#39;s properties for the sake of fear of the unknown.

However, I said to myself that I&#39;m going to face fear today and start using headers purposefully. I have been trying to send `json` data to the browser and use it right away. For example, if I have an Ajax handler function on ready state 4 which looks like so:

    function ajaxHandler(response){
        alert(response.text);
    }

And I have set the content-type header in my PHP code:

    header(&#39;Content-Type: application/json&#39;);
    echo json_encode(array(&#39;text&#39; =&gt; &#39;omrele&#39;));

Why can&#39;t I directly access the property from the handler function, when the browser is clearly told that the incoming data is `application/json`?

Is it possible to load a Node.js module asynchronously?

This is the standard code:

    var foo = require(&quot;./foo.js&quot;); // waiting for I/O
    foo.bar();

But I would like to write something like this:

    require(&quot;./foo.js&quot;, function(foo) {
        foo.bar();
    });
    // doing something else while the hard drive is crunching...

Is there a way how to do this? Or is there a good reason why callbacks in `require` aren&#39;t supported?


Node.js - asynchronous module loading

I&#39;m trying to create a proxy server to pass `HTTP GET` requests from a client to a third party website (say google). My proxy just needs to mirror incoming requests to their corresponding path on the target site, so if my client&#39;s requested url is:

    127.0.0.1/images/srpr/logo11w.png

The following resource should be served:

    http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png

Here is what I came up with:

    http.createServer(onRequest).listen(80);
    
    function onRequest (client_req, client_res) {
        client_req.addListener(&quot;end&quot;, function() {
            var options = {
                hostname: &#39;www.google.com&#39;,
                port: 80,
                path: client_req.url,
                method: client_req.method
                headers: client_req.headers
            };
            var req=http.request(options, function(res) {
                var body;
                res.on(&#39;data&#39;, function (chunk) {
                    body += chunk;
                });
                res.on(&#39;end&#39;, function () {
                     client_res.writeHead(res.statusCode, res.headers);
                     client_res.end(body);
                });
            });
            req.end();
        });
    }

It works well with html pages, but for other types of files, it just returns a blank page or some error message from target site (which varies in different sites).

How to create a simple http proxy in node.js?

I have several [Express][1] applications, and I see that in some modules, [`res.end()`][2] is called at the end of a request handler (after [`res.send`][3] or [`res.json`][4]), while in others, it isn&#39;t called.

For example:

    app.get(&#39;/test&#39;, function(req, res) {
        res.send(&#39;Test&#39;, 200);
    });

or:

    app.get(&#39;/test&#39;, function(req, res) {
        res.send(&#39;Test&#39;, 200);
        res.end();
    });


Both cases work, but I&#39;m afraid about leaks or running out file descriptors or something like that, when I run many requests. Which one is &quot;more correct&quot;?

  [1]: http://expressjs.com/
  [2]: http://expressjs.com/4x/api.html#res.end

I have got few node packages which works in node.js environment and also in browser. Now I have got two seperate tests (for each environment). What is the best way to run these tests with just `npm test` command? Also I want to add these packages to travis.

I&#39;m using `mocha` and `mocha-phantomjs`.

**Node test command**

    node ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha ./test/node/index.js --reporter spec

**Browser test command**

    node ./node_modules/mocha-phantomjs/bin/mocha-phantomjs ./test/browser/index.html

**What I tried:**

 1. Add these commands into `npm test` script seperated with semicolon
  - *Problem:* When there is an error in first script but no error in second script, command exited with 0 and travis build passed.
 2. Let node command test in `npm test` script and create custom script for browser tests. Than add these two commands (`npm test` and `npm run-script test-browser`) into travis.yml as array.
  - *Problem:* Users have to run manually two independent test scripts.
 3. Let node command test in `npm test` script and add browser tests to `npm posttest` command. Travis.yml will than have got just one script and users will also have to run one script (everyone is happy).
  - *Problem:* It just does&#39;t feel right, so I wanted to know if there is some better way.

My Rails app uses Devise for authentication. It has a sister iOS app, and users can log in to the iOS app using the same credentials that they use for the web app. So I need some kind of API for authentication.

Lots of similar questions on here point to [this tutorial](http://jessewolgamott.com/blog/2012/01/19/the-one-with-a-json-api-login-using-devise/), but it seems to be out-of-date, as the `token_authenticatable` module has since been removed from Devise and some of the lines throw errors. (I&#39;m using Devise 3.2.2.) I&#39;ve attempted to roll my own based on that tutorial (and [this one](http://danrodriguez.me/post/54352441822/)), but I&#39;m not 100% confident in it - I feel like there may be something I&#39;ve misunderstood or missed.

Firstly, following the advice of [this gist](https://gist.github.com/josevalim/fb706b1e933ef01e4fb6), I added an `authentication_token` text attribute to my `users` table, and the following to `user.rb`:

    before_save :ensure_authentication_token
    
    def ensure_authentication_token
      if authentication_token.blank?
        self.authentication_token = generate_authentication_token
      end
    end
     
    private
      
      def generate_authentication_token
        loop do
          token = Devise.friendly_token
          break token unless User.find_by(authentication_token: token)
        end
      end

Then I have the following controllers:

**api_controller.rb**


    class ApiController &lt; ApplicationController
      respond_to :json
      skip_before_filter :authenticate_user!
    
      protected
    
      def user_params
        params[:user].permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation)
      end
    end

(Note that my `application_controller` has the line `before_filter :authenticate_user!`.)


**api/sessions_controller.rb**


    class Api::SessionsController &lt; Devise::RegistrationsController
      prepend_before_filter :require_no_authentication, :only =&gt; [:create ]
      
      before_filter :ensure_params_exist
     
      respond_to :json
    
      skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token
      
      def create
        build_resource
        resource = User.find_for_database_authentication(
          email: params[:user][:email]
        )
        return invalid_login_attempt unless resource
     
        if resource.valid_password?(params[:user][:password])
          sign_in(&quot;user&quot;, resource)
          render json: {
            success: true,
            auth_token: resource.authentication_token,
            email: resource.email
          }
          return
        end
        invalid_login_attempt
      end
      
      def destroy
        sign_out(resource_name)
      end
     
      protected
    
        def ensure_params_exist
          return unless params[:user].blank?
          render json: {
            success: false,
            message: &quot;missing user parameter&quot;
          }, status: 422
        end
       
        def invalid_login_attempt
          warden.custom_failure!
          render json: {
            success: false,
            message: &quot;Error with your login or password&quot;
          }, status: 401
        end
    end


**api/registrations_controller.rb**


    class Api::RegistrationsController &lt; ApiController
      skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token

      def create
        user = User.new(user_params)
        if user.save
          render(
            json: Jbuilder.encode do |j|
              j.success true
              j.email user.email
              j.auth_token user.authentication_token
            end,
            status: 201
          )
          return
        else
          warden.custom_failure!
          render json: user.errors, status: 422
        end
      end
    end

And in **config/routes.rb**:


      namespace :api, defaults: { format: &quot;json&quot; } do
        devise_for :users
      end


I&#39;m out of my depth a bit and I&#39;m sure there&#39;s something here that my future self will look back on and cringe (there usually is). Some iffy parts:

**Firstly**, you&#39;ll notice that `Api::SessionsController` inherits from `Devise::RegistrationsController` whereas `Api::RegistrationsController` inherits from `ApiController` (I also have some other controllers such as `Api::EventsController &lt; ApiController` which deal with more standard REST stuff for my other models and don&#39;t have much contact with Devise.) This is a pretty ugly arrangement, but I couldn&#39;t figure out another way of getting access the methods I need in `Api::RegistrationsController`. The tutorial I linked to above has the line `include Devise::Controllers::InternalHelpers`, but this module seems to have been removed in more recent versions of Devise.

**Secondly**, I&#39;ve disabled CSRF protection with the line `skip_before_filter :verify_authentication_token`. I have my doubts about whether this is a good idea - I see a lot of [conflicting](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7600347/rails-api-design-without-disabling-csrf-protection) or [hard to understand](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11008469/are-json-web-services-vulnerable-to-csrf-attacks) advice about whether JSON APIs are vulnerable to CSRF attacks - but adding that line was the only way I could get the damn thing to work.

**Thirdly**, I want to make sure I understand how authentication works once a user has signed in. Say I have an API call `GET /api/friends` which returns a list of the current user&#39;s friends. As I understand it, the iOS app would have to get the user&#39;s `authentication_token` from the database (which is a fixed value for each user that never changes??), then submit it as a param along with every request, e.g. `GET /api/friends?authentication_token=abcdefgh1234`, then my `Api::FriendsController` could do something like `User.find_by(authentication_token: params[:authentication_token])` to get the current_user. Is it really this simple, or am I missing something?

So for anyone who&#39;s managed to read all the way to the end of this mammoth question, thanks for your time! To summarise:

1. **Is this login system secure?** Or is there something I&#39;ve overlooked or misunderstood, e.g. when it comes to CSRF attacks?
2. **Is my understanding of how to authenticate requests once users are signed in correct?** (See &quot;thirdly...&quot; above.)
3. **Is there any way this code can be cleaned up or made nicer?** Particularly the ugly design of having one controller inherit from `Devise::RegistrationsController` and the others from `ApiController`.

Thanks!


Is this Rails JSON authentication API (using Devise) secure?

We have been opening a sharing popup (via window.open) with the URL like

    https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?s=100&amp;p[title]=EXAMPLE&amp;p[summary]=EXAMPLE&amp;p[url]=EXAMPLE&amp;p[images][0]=EXAMPLE 

and until some unknown point in the last month or so everything was fine.

What is happening now is; the popup dialog appears and correctly includes the Title, Description, Image and URL provided by the query string parameters, but when the post is submitted, the resulting wall post on Facebook is missing the Title, Description and Image, though it still links to the correct URL.

Does anyone know if there have been recent changes which could have suddenly stopped this from working?

Pre-empting some common responses:

 - &quot;sharer.php URL was deprecated&quot; - usage seemed to continue and it
   seemed the consensus was that it was largely considered to be
   sticking around - I haven&#39;t seen any specific indication that it
   should have suddenly ceased working - might have missed something

 - &quot;Use JavaScript SDK/these OG meta tags&quot; - not possible in my specific
   situation - just trust me ... I can explain if you REALLY want but
   it&#39;s really not relevant.

 - &quot;Use the feed dialog&quot; - not suitable due to lack of support for
   posting with attachments on FB pages

Has Facebook sharer.php changed to no longer accept detailed parameters?

I’m creating my first API to which if two values are passed, I should get the response in the JSON format. The number  will be passed as parameters by POST. Either using cURL or whatever POST method is available.

Even though this is a very basic one, I would like to know the best practices and the API should be created by model–controller basis. Not just plain PHP.

I have Googled for many REST API tutorials. They were good and I have acquired some knowledge on it.

But I would like to get a sample model of the code so that I can refer to it and build my own, and that sample of course in the standard practice of making a real REST API.

If you ask me what I have tried, it would be really fun, as a beginner, all I could do is this:

    $num1 = $_REQUEST[&#39;num1&#39;];
    $num2 = $_REQUEST[&#39;num2&#39;];
    
    $total = $num1 + $num2;
    echo json_encode($total);
Of course this can never be called an API, but still. If I give a POST response to this, I want the response from the REST API as JSON. I should be able to test it by REST console as well so that I get a standard response.

Please do provide me with a very basic but yet a standard RESTful API.

I need to extract contents from a website, but the application doesn’t provide any application programming interface or another mechanism to access that data programmatically.

I found a useful third-party tool called [Import.io][2] that provides click and go functionality for scraping web pages and building data sets, the only thing is I want to keep my data locally and I don&#39;t want to subscribe to any subscription plans.

What kind of technique does this company use for scraping the web pages and building their datasets? I found some web scraping frameworks [pjscrape][3] &amp; [Scrapy][4] could they provide such a feature

Trying to access Rest API for basic authentication at http://www.evercam.io/docs/api/v1/authentication.

    curl -X GET https://api.evercam.io/v1/... \
    -u {username}

Don&#39;t know how to use this command on windows command prompt after having CURL setup successfully. Tested CURL as follows:

    C:\&gt;curl --version
    curl 7.33.0 (x86_64-pc-win32) libcurl/7.33.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8y zlib/1.2.8 libssh2/1.4.3

Now i am ending with this

    C:\&gt;curl -u myuser:mypassword -X GET https://api.evercam.io/v1/
    curl: (51) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name &#39;api.evercam.io&#39;

How can I fix this SSL issue 51 error ?

I was trying to install pycurl in a virtualenv using pip and I got this error 

    ImportError: pycurl: libcurl link-time ssl backend (openssl) is different from compile-time ssl backend (none/other)


I read some documentation saying that *&quot;To fix this, you need to tell setup.py what SSL backend is used&quot;* [(source)](https://github.com/pycurl/pycurl) although I am not sure how to do this since I installed pycurl using pip.

How can I specify the SSL backend when installing pycurl with pip?

Thanks

I have already added the following line to my php.ini

    curl.cainfo = C:\Windows\ca-bundle.crt

which is the location of a certificate i created using this VBS script

What&#39;s the usage pattern of `HttpResponseMessage.EnsureSuccessStatusCode()`? It disposes of the Content of the message and throws `HttpRequestException`, but I fail to see how to programmatically handle it any differently than a generic `Exception`. For example, it doesn&#39;t include the `HttpStatusCode`, which would have been handy. 

Is there any way of getting more info out of it? Could anyone show relevant usage pattern of both `EnsureSuccessStatusCode()` and HttpRequestException?

Upon reading stuffs about POST and get methods [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3063530/whats-the-difference-between-get-and-post-encryption) there is a statement like &quot; when used post method it uses HTTP request Body . What Does it mean &quot; HTTP request body&quot;.? 

What does it mean http request body?

I have to validate the `Content-Type` header value before passing it to an HTTP request.

Is there a specific list for all the possible values of `Content-Type`?

Otherwise, is there a way to validate the content type before using it in an HTTP request?


What are all the possible values for HTTP &quot;Content-Type&quot; header?

- Should source-maps be used in production environment? Do they provide any benefits other than debugging?
- Do they impact app load time due to the additional server round-trips? Are browsers smart enough to load `.map` assets after app is loaded and rendered?
- If a browser cannot find the `.map` asset (`404` error), would there be performance impact? Should I care about fixing it?

Note that fixing the last one may not be as easy as serving the `.map` assets if there are complicated concat / minify build steps.

Performance impact of using css / javascript source-maps in production?

I&#39;m trying to run a HTTP Request in Swift, to POST 2 parameters to a URL.

Example:

Link: `www.thisismylink.com/postName.php`

Params:

    id = 13
    name = Jack

What is the simplest way to do that?

I don&#39;t even want to read the response. I just want to send that to perform changes on my database through a PHP file.
