calling the API key from within the script

Question

calling the API key from within the script

keanumelody opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

Hello

I have added a few lines of code to the original ImportJson script which calls the API key from withing the script and not from a cell everytime you run the function from a cell in google sheets. Can you do that in your script? The lines of my code is:

function ImportJSON_mycustomapi(url, api_key, query, parseOptions) {
var header = {
headers: {
'key_token_myapi': 'myapikey',
'Accept': 'application/json'
}
}
return ImportJSONAdvanced(url, header, query, parseOptions, includeXPath_, defaultTransform_)
}

Something like this should work:

function IMPORTJSONAPI_MyCustomApi(url, query, cols) {
     var headers = {
         'key_token_myapi': 'myapikey',
         'Accept': 'application/json'
    }
    return IMPORTJSONAPI(url, query, cols, "headers=" + JSON.stringify(headers)) 
}

OK thanks, I will try that, but the code does not allow me to run it properly anyway because it always demands query and cols. I have tried to read your instruction a couple of times but do not get it: how exactly should I use query and cols? I have an API request which imports data into a sheet and one of the columns is: "Response Car Type" and the other one is "Date and Time". I have tried to put them into the formula but with no success, your formula returns error to me either by query or cols. How can I put them into the formula exactly? Appreciate your help.

If you post an example of the JSON response from the API then I can tell you what need to set query & cols to.

Something like this should work:

=IMPORTJSONAPI(<URL>, "$.response[*]", "teams.home.name, teams.away.name, score.halftime.home, score.halftime.away")

keanumelody · Answer 6 · Tue Mar 30 2021 20:10:02 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Something like this should work:

function IMPORTJSONAPI_MyCustomApi(url, query, cols) {
     var headers = {
         'key_token_myapi': 'myapikey',
         'Accept': 'application/json'
    }
    return IMPORTJSONAPI(url, query, cols, "headers=" + JSON.stringify(headers)) 
}

Which line should I put this? I tried line 1260 but google sheets says undefined function...

Something like this should work:

=IMPORTJSONAPI(<URL>, "$.response[*]", "teams.home.name, teams.away.name, score.halftime.home, score.halftime.away")

I did this but then it returns nothing, not even an error message.... completely blank. What can be the reason? I run your original importjsonapi of course, not my custome function... I run this:

=IMPORTJSONAPI("URL?live=all&api_token='tokenkey'","$.response[*]", "teams.home.name, teams.away.name, score.halftime.home, score.halftime.away")

and even this:

=IMPORTJSONAPI("URL?live=all&api_token='tokenkey'","$..name","@")

but both return a blank sheet, not even an error message...

qeet · Answer 8 · Tue Mar 30 2021 20:49:21 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Try running:

=IMPORTJSONAPI("URL?live=all&api_token='tokenkey'","$","@")

If you still don't see anything then no data is coming back for some reason.

Also try copying the url and pasting it into the browser bar and see what the result is.

Try running:

I get this error message : {"get":"fixtures","parameters":{"live":"all","x-ra...
The browser says missing application key... "errors":{"token":"Error/Missing application key.

My application key is of course correct, but maybe the way we put it in the formula is not correct?

qeet · Answer 11 · Tue Mar 30 2021 20:57:03 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Ok now try this:

Try adding the function right at the beginning of the file e.g Line 1

Thanks sir! It works now, and for the records, it works with this one: ,"$.response[*]", "teams.home.name, teams.away.name, score.halftime.home, score.halftime.away"

Can I use your code to get data form a Sheet(or range of cells) and not from URL? I refer to ImportJSONFromSheet from the original ImportJSON code...

qeet · Answer 16 · Wed Mar 31 2021 00:32:34 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Does not support import from sheet at the moment. But you could add with custom function like this maybe:

function IMPORTJSONFROMSHEET(data, query, cols) {
  var json = JSON.parse(data)
  return IMPORTJSONAPI(json, query, cols)
}

Then use like:

=IMPORTJSONFROMSHEET(C1, $.response[*], "teams.home.name)

where cell C1 contains your json data

keanumelody · Answer 17 · Wed Mar 31 2021 21:01:15 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Thank you really very much for your help. I need to send a request to the API which brings me back a list based upon one parameter from the API itself and 2 parameters which exist in the same sheet where the formula is (in 2 different cells).... I have problems sending these sheet parameters to the API, as they cannot simply be placed inside the formula, I have to put them outside of the formula (at least it is like this for me). But I can only manage to put one cell reference to the parameter outside of " of the formula, not two. How can I do this in your formula? The formula is:

=IMPORTJSONAPI_apifootball("URL?season=2020&league="&F3;"$.response";"@")

In the above formula, the API parameter itself is season=2020 which is fine. The other parameters which is required by the API are league and team, and their values are inside of the sheet. If only league was needed then I could just put the &F3 (where F3 is the cell value) after the symbol " and it would work. But I do not know how I go around this with 2 parameter values inside the sheet.

Appreciate your help really. Thanks.

Thanks. I am getting a strange issue here. I have a JSON response where i have another [] inside of a previous []... Now your script cann not return beyond season column (where [standings] comes...
