Perform curl request in javascript?
You can use JavaScripts Fetch API (available in your browser) to make network requests.
If using node, you will need to install the node-fetch package.
const url = "https://api.wit.ai/message?v=20140826&q=";
const options = {
headers: {
Authorization: "Bearer 6Q************"
}
};
fetch(url, options)
.then( res => res.json() )
.then( data => console.log(data) );
curl is a command in linux (and a library in php). Curl typically makes an HTTP request.
What you really want to do is make an HTTP (or XHR) request from javascript.
Using this vocab you'll find a bunch of examples, for starters: Sending authorization headers with jquery and ajax
Essentially you will want to call $.ajax
with a few options for the header, etc.
$.ajax({
url: 'https://api.wit.ai/message?v=20140826&q=',
beforeSend: function(xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer 6QXNMEMFHNY4FJ5ELNFMP5KRW52WFXN5")
}, success: function(data){
alert(data);
//process the JSON data etc
}
})
Yes, use getJSONP. It's the only way to make cross domain/server async calls. (*Or it will be in the near future). Something like
$.getJSON('your-api-url/validate.php?'+$(this).serialize+'callback=?', function(data){
if(data)console.log(data);
});
The callback parameter will be filled in automatically by the browser, so don't worry.
On the server side ('validate.php') you would have something like this
<?php
if(isset($_GET))
{
//if condition is met
echo $_GET['callback'] . '(' . "{'message' : 'success', 'userID':'69', 'serial' : 'XYZ99UAUGDVD&orwhatever'}". ')';
}
else echo json_encode(array('error'=>'failed'));
?>
