I am trying to make an http request in my backend node.js web app. I can make sucesfull http requests on front end web javascript files like this:
$.ajax({
url: `https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/${artistId}/albums`,
type: 'GET',
contentType: 'application/json',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' globalAccesToken,
},
data: {
offset: offset,
}
}).done(function callback(response) {
resolve(response.items)
}).fail(async function (error) {
getArtistAlbums(artistId, offset, onlyReturnTracks))
});
And from following this guide: https://nodejs.dev/learn/make-an-http-post-request-using-nodejs
I have been trying to make the same request in node.js backend:
//get access token
let accessToken = await spotifyAuth.getAccessToken();
//create data
const data = JSON.stringify({
offset: 0,
})
//create options data obj
const options = {
hostname: 'https://api.spotify.com',
path: '/v1/artists/1XqqyIQYMonHgllb1uysL3/albums',
//url: 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/1XqqyIQYMonHgllb1uysL3/albums',
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' accessToken,
},
}
const req = https.request(options, res => {
console.log(`proxyiprequest() statusCode: ${res.statusCode}`)
res.on('data', d => {
process.stdout.write(d)
})
})
req.on('error', error => {
console.error('proxyiprequest() err=', error)
})
req.write(data)
req.end()
But running the above request ends in this err:
proxyiprequest() err= { Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND https://api.spotify.com https://api.spotify.com:443
at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:56:26)
errno: 'ENOTFOUND',
code: 'ENOTFOUND',
syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
hostname: 'https://api.spotify.com',
host: 'https://api.spotify.com',
port: 443 }
Am I doing something wrong with how I have set up my url/path settings?
CodePudding user response:
Node https module have a separate option named protocol . So in the request option, you should not include https:// or http://.
Your options variable will become:
const options = {
hostname: 'api.spotify.com',
path: '/v1/artists/1XqqyIQYMonHgllb1uysL3/albums',
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' accessToken,
},
}
