I'm trying to get some datas from an external API (from Mashape) that requires a specific header to set the API key.
Everything is ok using jQuery :
$.ajax({
url: 'https://omgvamp-hearthstone-v1.p.mashape.com/cardbacks',
type: 'GET',
data: {},
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) { console.dir((data.source)); },
error: function(err) { alert(err); },
beforeSend: function(xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-Mashape-Authorization", "MY_API_KEY");
}
});
However, when I'm trying to do the same request with axios for a react application, I have a 404 error:
axios.get({
url: 'https://omgvamp-hearthstone-v1.p.mashape.com/cardbacks',
headers: {
"X-Mashape-Authorization": "MY_API_KEY"
}
})
Is there something I'm missing ? Thanks.
Try also to do it like this without setting defaults:
axios.get('https://omgvamp-hearthstone-v1.p.mashape.com/cardbacks', {
headers: { "X-Mashape-Key": "MY_API_KEY" }
})
.then((resp) => {
console.dir(resp);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
}
It should work.
PS I also observed that you use different header keys in question(X-Mashape-Authorization) and answer(X-Mashape-Key). Maybe that is also somehow related to 404 error?
I finally understood.
We need to set the header BEFORE the request using axios.defaults.headers.common['header_name'] = "API_KEY";
:
axios.defaults.baseURL = 'https://omgvamp-hearthstone-v1.p.mashape.com';
axios.defaults.headers.common['X-Mashape-Key'] = "API_KEY";
axios.get('/cardbacks')
.then((resp) => {
console.dir(resp);
});
I got better way to solve this .
You just need add parameters format from axios like this below:
axios({
method: <method>,
url: <url>,
data: <params>,
headers: { common: <headers> },
})
.then(response => {
if (!cb) return { error: 'No callback' };
return cb(response);
})
.catch((err) => cb(err.response));
