3rd Party Modules with APIs not loading.

Going out for a smoke. I’ll be back in 10.

That URL worked great on the browser.

I really appreciate the help troubleshooting.

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.

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
