I've been working on creating a client for GroupMe using their provided API, but I'm stuck and can't seem to figure out what's going wrong.
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message": { "text": "Nitin is holding me hostage", "source_guid": "7374"}}' https://api.groupme.com/v3/groups/30885833/messages?token=I_PUT_MY_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE
After running the above command, it successfully returns:
Click here to see JSON (Hastebin)
The problem arises when I try to incorporate this into Javascript code. Here's what I have so far:
var HTTPS = require('https');
var request = require('request');
function postMessage() {
var options, body, botReq;
options = {
hostname: 'api.groupme.com',
path: '/v3/groups/30885833/messages?token=DbZoE9Eablg43ZIGdfKsFkXDjLzR6RDUkwHT9JNn',
method: 'POST'
};
body =
{ '"message"': { '"text"': "I am a post message", '"source_guid"': "7374" } };
console.log(body);
botReq = HTTPS.request(options, function (res) {
if (res.statusCode == 201) {
//neat
} else {
console.log('rejecting a bad status code ' + res.statusCode);
}
});
botReq.on('error', function (err) {
console.log('error posting message ' + JSON.stringify(err));
});
botReq.on('timeout', function (err) {
console.log('timeout posting message ' + JSON.stringify(err));
});
botReq.end(JSON.stringify(body));
}However, when I run this script, I only get an Error Code of 400 and I'm not sure how to pinpoint the issue causing the Bad Request.
Can someone guide me on how to correctly transform the initial command into functional javascript code? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
