Re: filterRadius in GET Request via JavaScript (No Postman)

[Richard Saffell]

Matthew,

The filter information goes in the POST body. You'll need to change your request to POST and provide body content.

If you're using the v5 API your raw POST body could look like this:

{

    "data": {

        "filterRadius":

            {

                "miles": 25,

                "postalcode": 48420

            }

        

    }

}

Hope that helps,

Richard

I've been trying to filter any search by location and distance via JavaScript but I can't seem to figure out where to add this code in the fetch request:

'filterRadius': {

'postalcode': 48420,

'miles': 25

}

This is what my fetch looks like without me trying to filter(this works):

fetch(apiURL, {

        method: 'GET',

        headers: {

            'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.api+json',

            'Authorization': apiKey

        }

    })

I've tried adding body: after the headers section and adding it there(no luck).

I've tried adding adding just the snippet after the headers section with and without the quotes around filterRadius(no luck).

I'm lost on what to do. The documentation isn't specific enough for a beginner to know how to implement the filterRadius in JS. It mentions putting it in the POST data, which I think would be that section even when trying to do a GET request.

Please help me

What is the value of apiURL?

If I change the method to POST, I get 405 Method Not Allowed error in the browser's console.

Also if I use that code like this:

fetch(apiURL, {

        method: 'POST',

        headers: {

            'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.api+json',

            'Authorization': apiKey

        },

        {

            'data':{

                'filterRadius': {

                    'postalcode': 48420,

                    'miles': 25

                }

            }

        }

    })

I get a "Property assignment expected." error in the editor.

Matthew,

The URL you are POSTing to shouldn't have anything sensitive (e.g., your API Key) if you are using POST with the key in the POST body. I need to know what URL you are POSTing to so I can troubleshoot the issue. You can remove anything sensitive, but there shouldn't be anything.

Matthew,

I believe you have to stringify the data.

Here is my revised code. It now allows the POST method after I changed the url. I added the body property. Now the error I get is 400, saying the data provided is not valid JSON
