Issues Executing Query with API

[Allen Howard]

Hello,

So I recently started working with the Safe Browsing API in HTML/JQuery.  Right now, I'm just trying to get some results back with this code:

            function checkLink(){
                 //Google API Key
                var apiKey =  ""; //My actual key is in here
               
                //URL for safebrowsing
                var googleURL = "https://safebrowsing.googleapis.com/v4/threatMatches:find?key=";
               
                //Combine the url and the key
                googleURL = googleURL + apiKey;
               
                //print this to the console
                console.log(googleURL);
               
                //attempt to contact the google server
               
//                var headers = {
//                   'content-type': 'applicataion/json'
//                };
               
                var payload =
                {
                    "client": {
                      "clientId": "infsci1073amh217",
                      "clientVersion": "1.5.2"
                    },
                    "threatInfo": {
                      "threatTypes":      ["MALWARE", "SOCIAL_ENGINEERING"],
                      "platformTypes":    ["WINDOWS"],
                      "threatEntryTypes": ["URL"],
                      "threatEntries": [
                        {"url": "http://www.pitt.edu/"},
                        {"url": "http://www.exchange.pitt.edu/"}
                      ]
                    }
                  };
               
                $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: googleURL,
                    contentType: "applicaiton/json; charset=utf-8",
                    dataType: "json",
                    data: payload,
                success:function (data) {
                     console.log(data);
                },
                error:function(status){
                    console.log(status);
                }
                });
               
            }

I get a 400 error saying "Invalid JSON payload received Unexpected token. \nclient%5BclientID%5D\n".

It sounds like when I sent this to the API that the API is rejecting it.  I can see that the key is being used in the API Manager.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I tried running the API explorer using the provided code from the API Documentation and it is just spinning on the "executing" phase.

Thank you,

~Allen

In my code, I found one issue where I put applicaiton/json instead of application/json, but this did not fix the issue.  Still trying to get any ideas on this.

Thanks!

Hi Allen,

The error message you shared suggests that jQuery is doing some unexpected formatting of the request body. You could instead try passing JSON.stringify(payload) to the ajax's data parameter? If that doesn't work, you can use the Chrome Developer Tools to inspect the body of the produced request to make sure it looks well-formed.

Hopefully that helps!

Thanks so much, Alex!  That worked!

I didn't realize that you could pass the stringed object through, I thought it needed the non-string version.

Best,
~Allen
