I am using this code in node.js to get the positions:
const server_url = "localhost";
const route_positions = "/api/positions";
const http = require("http");
const fs = require('fs')
function positions(id) {
const options = {
host: server_url,
path: route_positions + "?deviceId=" + id + "&from=2020-07-09T18:30:00Z&to=2020-07-22T18:30:00Z",
port: 8082,
method: "GET",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Basic " + Buffer.from(user + ":" + password).toString('base64')
},
};
http
.request(options, function (res) {
console.log("STATUS: " + res.statusCode);
console.log("HEADERS: " + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
res.setEncoding("utf8");
res.on("data", function (chunk) {
console.log("BODY: " + chunk);
fs.appendFile('./server/data/testpos.json', chunk, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err)
return
}
})
});
}).end();
}
Unfortunately, this code returns the position in XML format instead of the wanted JSON format.
I am not sure how to get the default (JSON) response.
You need to include Accept header in your request.
Works like a charm. Thank you!
