I am trying to learn React by making a motor cycle spec search web application.
I am making two axios requests in /api/index.js, and I am getting an error saying
'429 (Too Many Requests)'.
What am I doing wrong here?
/api/index.js
import axios from "axios";
const options1 = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://motorcycle-specs-database.p.rapidapi.com/model/make-name/Yamaha',
headers: {
'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'motorcycle-specs-database.p.rapidapi.com',
'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'MyAPIKey'
}
};
const options2 = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://motorcycle-specs-database.p.rapidapi.com/make',
headers: {
'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'motorcycle-specs-database.p.rapidapi.com',
'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'MyAPIKey'
}
};
export const makeList = async()=>{
try{
const {data} = await axios.request(options2);
console.log('list of all makes is like this now', data);
return data;
}
catch(error){
}
}
export const fetchData = async ()=>{
try{
const {data} = await axios.request(options1);
return data;
}
catch(error){
}
}
and this is where I'm trying to use the data. App.js
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
import {fetchData, makeList} from './api/index';
import React, {Component} from 'react';
class App extends React.Component{
state = {
data:[],
makes:[],
}
async componentDidMount(){
const fetchedData = await fetchData();
const fetchedMakeList = await makeList();
this.setState({data:fetchedData, makes:fetchedMakeList});
//this.setState({makes:fetchedMakeList});
console.log('list of all makes in componentDIDMOUNT is like ', fetchedMakeList);
//why is this undefined??
}
render(){
return (
<div className="App">
<header className="App-header">
<h1>Some line-ups from YAMAHA</h1>
{partOfTheArray.map(data=>{
return <p>{data.name}</p>
})}
<a
className="App-link"
href="https://reactjs.org"
target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
>
Open React
</a>
</header>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
I am only requesting 2 requests, but I am getting this error message.
Assuming that you're trying to fetch data when component mounts, here is a better approach to do so:
// Import useState and useEffect
import React, {useState, useEffect} from 'react';
export default function SomeComponent() {
let [data, setData] = useState(null)
// use an useEffect with empty dependecy(empty [] as a dependecy) to fetch the data
// empty [] makes sure that you're fetching data only once when the component mounts
useEffect(() => {
fetchData().then(res => {
// check status for response and set data accordingly
setData(res.data)
// log the data
console.log(res.data)
})
},[])
return (
<div className="App">
</div>
);
}
You need to update your fetchData() function as well.
export const fetchData = async ()=>{
try{
const response = await axios.request(options1);
// return the whole response object instead of only the data.
// this helps in error handling in the component
return response;
}
catch(error){}
}
I hope it helps!
