I'm facing an issue where I need to specify a URL in a JavaScript app that retrieves weather data from an API. The URL is constructed using a string and some variables. When I initially wrote the code below, I encountered the error message Missing { before function body.
function apiurl() {
var str = this._baseURL + '=' + (this.apikey);
str = str.replace('=', '');
console.log(str);
}
let a = this._getWeather(function(apiurl), function(weather) {
if (weather) {
this._load_forecast(weather);
}
// update the display with forecast
deskletObj.displayForecast();
deskletObj.displayCurrent();
deskletObj.displayMeta();
});
},
I have modified the code to be:
let a = this._getWeather {
(function(apiurl), function(weather) {
if (weather) {
this._load_forecast(weather);
}
// update the display with the latest data
deskletObj.displayForecast();
deskletObj.displayCurrent();
deskletObj.displayMeta();
});
},
After making these changes, I received the error message unexpected token: '{'
I am seeking guidance on the correct JSON syntax for the code to properly handle the API URL.
Update - Based on feedback, I made the following adjustments:
The updated code looks like this
function apiurl() {
let apiurl = this._baseURL + '=' + (this.apikey);
str = str.replace('=','');
console.log(str);
}
Here are the log file results after running the code:
info t=2024-01-30T10:18:19Z bbcwx (instance 34): refreshing forecast at 10:18:19
error t=2024-01-30T10:18:19Z this is undefined

Following advice from 3limin4t0r, I implemented the following updates:
function weatherApiURL {
weatherApiUrl.path = "https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId=MyStationId&format=json&units=e&apiKey=MyApiKey"
weatherApiUrl.toString()
console.log(str);
}
this._getWeather(weatherApiURL(), function (weather) {
if (weather) {
this._load_forecast(weather);
}
// update the display with relevant data
deskletObj.displayForecast();
deskletObj.displayCurrent();
deskletObj.displayMeta();
});
},
