I am making API calls to Squarespace for an inventory management system. I've set up a Node.js and Express server, and have been using http-proxy-middleware to set up a proxy and make GET requests.
I am able to generate the GET requests successfully on my localhost - an HTML pre-tag is filled with all of the JSON data of the request. However, I am completely clueless on how to handle and use the data further that was returned to me. When I make a call and receive Pending orders, I want to pull JSON data from the returned request body of the orders, such as SKU numbers for products purchased.
const { response } = require('express');
const express = require('express');
require("dotenv").config();
const { createProxyMiddleware, responseInterceptor } = require('http-proxy-middleware');
const router = express.Router();
const PORT = 3000;
const HOST = "localhost";
const GET_ORDERS_URL = process.env.SS_GET_ORDERS_URL;
const API_KEY = process.env.SS_AUTH;
const app = express();
const proxy = app.use("/testing", createProxyMiddleware({
target: GET_ORDERS_URL,
headers: {
'Authorization': API_KEY,
'User-Agent': 'halp me'
},
changeOrigin: true,
pathRewrite: {
[`^/testing`]: '',
},
selfHandleResponse: true, //
onProxyRes: responseInterceptor(async (responseBuffer, proxyRes, req, res) => {
var orderResponse = responseBuffer.toString('utf-8');
return orderResponse;
}),
}));
// Start Proxy
app.listen(PORT, HOST, () => {
console.log(`Starting Proxy at ${HOST}:${PORT}`);
});The API request returns JSON data, which I would love to use and process for the next part of my inventory management. I'm trying to figure out why I can't get return orderResponse; to output anything at all.
I have tried every variation of returning a variable I can imagine, console.logged a million things - any guidance to what I'm missing here would be greatly appreciated!
