I have a problem with my AJAX. Using Insomnia, I was able to get in with a successful response of 200 using the API token.
However, when I implement it in the HTML, I get a 401 response of access denied.
$.ajax({
url: "https://ecoexchange.dscloud.me:8080/api/get",
method: "GET",
apikey: sessionStorage.getItem("apikey"),
dataType: 'json',
success: function(result) {
$('#infoTable tr').empty();
var header = $('#infoTable thead');
var body = $('#infoTable tbody');
var hTr;
$('#infoTable thead').append(hTr = $('<tr>'));
// Headers
for (var h = 0; h < result.headers.length; h++) {
hTr.append($('<th>', {
text: result.headers[h]
}))
}
// Body
for (var d in result.data) {
var data = result.data[d];
$('#infoTable tbody').append($('<tr>')
.append($('<td>', {
text: data.RecyclableID
}))
.append($('<td>', {
text: data.Name
}))
.append($('<td>', {
text: data.RecyclableType
}))
)
}
}
})I am not sure how to put in the token or user name or password.
How can I improve the code so I don't get the error?
What is this apikey parameter you're using? That's not in the documentation.
apikey: sessionStorage.getItem("apikey"),
Did you mean to pass it as a header instead? For example:
headers: {"apikey": sessionStorage.getItem("apikey")},
The documentation for the service you're using should specify how to include the API key. Presumably you have that information, because:
Using Insomnia, I was able to get in with a successful response
So you'll need to include the value in your AJAX request wherever it belongs. Most likely as either a header value or a query string value. But the jQuery .ajax() function isn't going to know how to pass the value, you have to specify.
I think your problem is with passing queries which can be solved here
As it's been said on David's answer , You must know where your apikey is required on the server-side, in header or queries(parameters).
If your apikey is required on queries based on the docs you can use :
$.get('/api/get' , {'apikey' : 'YOUR-KEY'}).done((res) => {
console.log(res)
})
Or if your apikey is required in headers:
$.ajax({
url: '/api/get',
type: 'GET',
headers: {'apikey' : 'YOUR-KEY'},
success : (res) =>{
console.log(res);
}
})
