Hi,
In my bot for the cloud version I want to call API that returns a details based on the parameter, it keeps raising error " “Not found because of proxy error: Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND xxxxxx”
Request failed with status code 404.
For API without parameter I managed to get the result.
Any one can help me with the correct syntax.
Thanks.
Hi Bassam

const url = 'http://xxxxx/api/values/GetcustInfo/
const response = await axios.get(url ,{params: {
phone: ‘123456789’
}
}
);
workflow.CustName = response.data[0].name
Is this API published on the internet? Botpress platform is on the cloud, and if this API is local Botpress can’t access it.
You can use something like NGROK to publish your APIs in an easy way that is free.
Yes, its published in Internet.
if it is a GET request, then try:
const url = 'http://xxxxx/api/values/GetcustInfo?phone=123456789
const response = await axios.get(url)
workflow.CustName = response.data[0].name
raised error

other API without parameters working fine this way.**
There is a missing quote at the end did you try it with it?
const url = 'http://xxxxx/api/values/GetcustInfo?phone=123456789'
const response = await axios.get(url)
workflow.CustName = response.data[0].name
New error now.

Hi @ibrahimbukh ,
Can you try this code?
const url = 'https://www.boredapi.com/api/'
const activities = 'activity?type=diy&participants=1'
const response = await axios.get(`${url}/${activities}`)
console.log(response.data)
Can you try that code in another bot, a new clean one? I am just trying to pinpoint where the issue is.
Because this code works for me directly, so please bear with me.
This works , but if you assigned to workflow variable workflow.CustName = response.data[0].Name
you got error.
I don’t know the response of your API, but it seems that .data[0] doesn’t exist. Maybe the API returns nothing.
So check with console.log(response.data)
HI Bassam,
its returning one record, the question is how to assign values from returned record to a workflow variable.

Which values do you want? In which format, etc. etc.
But the general idea is response.data.property_name: response.data.Phone, or response.data.ACCOUNTNUM (case sensitive)
Or response.data["Phone"], or response.data["ACCOUNTNUM"]
