Hi,

Can anyone help please?

When I make an API Event Calendar get request by simply adding the URL with a valid metro_area_id and API key below I get a good response, total entries = 1536

But when I try to get a response by using axios.get with the same URL and variables with the same value passed in for metro_area_id & api key I get a response but the total entries = 0, so I get no data.

Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you

Hi Chloe,

Thank you in advance for your help.

When I make an API Event Calendar get request by simply typing the URL into the browser with a valid metro_area_id and API key below I get a good response, total entries = 1536

API response is good, has data content with totalEntries = 1594

But when I try to get a response by using axios.get with the same URL and variables with the same value passed in for metro_area_id & api key I get a response but the total entries = 0, so I get no data. Please see code and response below.

    function findEventLoc(locId, dateFrom, dateTo){

            params: {
                apikey: 'bguT074ohahXwEwu',
                metro_area_id: locId,
                min_date: dateFrom,
                max_date: dateTo
            }
        })
            .then(function (response) {
                $(function() {
                    console.log(response);
                })
            })
            .catch(function (error) {
                console.log(error);
            })
    }

Response Object, no data content, totalEntries = 0;
  1. Object
    1. data:
      1. resultsPage:
        1. status: "ok"
        2. perPage: 50
        3. page: 1
        4. totalEntries: 0
    2. status: 200
    3. statusText: ""
    4. config:
      1. url: "https://api.songkick.com/api/3.0/metro_areas/{metro_area_id}/calendar.json?apikey={your_api_key}"
      2. method: "get"
      3. timeout: 0
      4. xsrfCookieName: "XSRF-TOKEN"
      5. xsrfHeaderName: "X-XSRF-TOKEN"
      6. maxContentLength: -1

    5. request: XMLHttpRequest
      1. readyState: 4
      2. timeout: 0
      3. withCredentials: false
      4. responseURL: "https://api.songkick.com/api/3.0/metro_areas/%7Bmetro_area_id%7D/calendar.json?apikey={your_api_key}&apikey=bguT074ohahXwEwu&metro_area_id=24475&min_date=2020-02-12&max_date=2020-02-29"
      5. status: 200
      6. statusText: ""
      7. responseType: ""
      8. response: "{"resultsPage":{"status":"ok","results":{},"perPage":50,"page":1,"totalEntries":0}}"
      9. responseText: "{"resultsPage":{"status":"ok","results":{},"perPage":50,"page":1,"totalEntries":0}}"
      10. responseXML: null
      11. onloadstart: null
      12. onprogress: null
      13. onload: null
      14. onloadend: null
I can't seem to figure this out, in another part of my code I use the events API call in a similar way to search an artists name and it works fine, I get a good response with data but when I use the calendar API call above I get no entries.

    function findEvents(userInput, dateFrom, dateTo) {
        axios.get('https://api.songkick.com/api/3.0/events.json', {
            params: {
                apikey: 'bguT074ohahXwEwu',
                artist_name: userInput,
                min_date: dateFrom,
                max_date: dateTo
            }
        })
            .then(function (response) {
                $(function() {
                    // The function getData is called here and saved to a variable
                    console.log(response);

Thanks very much,
Conal

Hi Conal,

I think you should be able to remove apikey={your_api_key} from your axios get as you're already passing in the apiKey as a param. There also needs to be a string interpolation of the metro_area_id inside the slug rather than as a parameter.

Hope this helps!

Best,
Chloe

Hi Chloe,

Yes! The string interpolation did the trick, thank you very much, that was driving me crazy, it works.

Thanks again,
Conal

Hi Conal,

Since this API has been made public to anyone on this forum I have disabled it. I have privately emailed you with a replacement key.

Best regards,
Chloe
