Passing variable from one request to another

[mongo116]

Thanks for the reply. Sorry to be a pain, but any chance of you putting a simple example of both on here.

@mongo116 if you post how you get your session id we can try to help you better

[mongo116]

This is from node_helper.js:

	request({
		url: "https://api-prod.bgchprod.info:443/omnia/auth/sessions",
		headers: {
				'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.alertme.zoo-6.1+json',
				'Accept': 'application/vnd.alertme.zoo-6.1+json',
				'X-Omnia-Client': 'Hive Web Dashboard',
				'cache-control': "no-cache",
				 },
		method: "POST",
		body: JSON.stringify(body),
	}, function (error, response, body) {
		if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
			var responseJson = JSON.parse(body);
		}
	});
	
	request({
		url: "https://api-prod.bgchprod.info:443/omnia/nodes",
		headers: {
				'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.alertme.zoo-6.1+json',
				'Accept': 'application/vnd.alertme.zoo-6.1+json',
				'X-Omnia-Client': 'Hive Web Dashboard',
				'cache-control': "no-cache",
				'X-Omnia-Access-Token': ,
				 },
		method: "GET",
	}, function (error, response, body) {
		if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
			var responseJson = JSON.parse(body);
		}
	});

The Session ID is part of the JSON response from the first request (responseJson.sessions[0].sessionId). Session ID needs to be put into the ‘X-Omnia-Access-Token’: , of the second request.

Thanks

@mongo116 I assume that your code is inside the function getData

getData: function() {
  request({
    url: "https://api-prod.bgchprod.info:443/omnia/auth/sessions",
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.alertme.zoo-6.1+json',
      'Accept': 'application/vnd.alertme.zoo-6.1+json',
      'X-Omnia-Client': 'Hive Web Dashboard',
      'cache-control': "no-cache",
    },
    method: "POST",
    body: JSON.stringify(body),
  }, function (error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
      var responseJson = JSON.parse(body);
      // nested request after successfully obtaining the session id
      request({
        url: "https://api-prod.bgchprod.info:443/omnia/nodes",
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.alertme.zoo-6.1+json',
          'Accept': 'application/vnd.alertme.zoo-6.1+json',
          'X-Omnia-Client': 'Hive Web Dashboard',
          'cache-control': "no-cache",
          'X-Omnia-Access-Token': responseJson.sessions[0].sessionId,
        },
        method: "GET",
      }, function (error, response, body) {
        if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
          // the required data
          var data = JSON.parse(body);
        }
      });
    }
  });
}

@strawberry-3.141 Fantastic - just needed to be nested. That now works like a charm - thank you so much :)

[strawberry 3.141]

@mongo116 the callback of the request gets executed async, so you can’t put them just next to each other. Because then the second request would be fired before the first one got his respond, by nesting you can ensure that the first request got a respond.
