3rd Party Modules with APIs not loading.

@bflbarlow

No problem. Ok, so you can get data. Now let’s see what the module tells us about getting the data. Can you go in the MMM-Launch.js file and uncomment line 124. Save. Run MM again using npm start dev and see if it reports receiving the data from the api. It should look something like this

>Array (60)

No errors a few minutes in.

Sucks! You should see it right away. I’m stumped. I can’t reproduce this behavior with my module. You CAN get data, based on the url test. But, for you, the module is not getting the data. Thus, it’s not loading.

I don’t think this is a module issue. I’ll ask my friend on the forum to look into this for you. He is amazing at troubleshooting MM and modules. I’m sure he will take a look at this. I’m sorry I couldn’t figure this out for you.

[bflbarlow]

Sounds good and no worries.

Thanks for giving it a shot!

@bflbarlow

You’re welcome. I’m sure it will get worked out when the right people take a look at it.

Peace.

I’ve sent you a private message

edit the ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MyStandings/node_helper.js

replace the getData function with this

	getData: function (notification, url) {
		var self = this;
		console.log('requesting:' + url);
		request({ url: url, method: 'GET' }, function (error, response, body) {
			if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
				var result = JSON.parse(body);
				console.log("have data from api size="+body.length);
				self.sendSocketNotification(notification, result);
			} else {
				console.log("MMM-MyStandings : Could not load data."+" error="+error+" status="+response.statusCode);
			}
		});
	},

open a terminal window
stop mirror , pm2 stop 0

then start manually
npm start dev

you should see
