Getting REST response as null , for the same api curl command is working properly.

[meg6]

Hi ,

I am getting the response when i use curl command    

curl -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -XGET https://someapi.example -H 'authorization:token' , for this I am getting the response.

But when i use it in javascript as following,

var r = new RESTMessage('https://someapi.example', 'get');

r.setStringParameter('token', 'token');

var response = r.execute();

var jsonString = response.getBody();  

var parser = new JSONParser();  

var parsed = parser.parse(jsonString);  

getting error as:org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: Cannot convert null to an object.

am i missing anything?

The response here is null.

I have one doubt , I am running it in background script so that if it works i can use it in workflow activity. Is it correct place?

[hvrdhn88]

which workflow activity are you using ?

i think yes but i never tried on workflow activity.

REST Message workflow activity

I think this script looks correct ,but getting the response as null.

var r = new RESTMessage('https://someapi.example', 'get');

r.setStringParameter('token', 'token');

var response = r.execute();

var jsonString = response.getBody();

var parser = new JSONParser();

var parsed = parser.parse(jsonString);

can you please try with below script and see what are you getting the output in script include?

var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('https://someapi.example', 'get');

r.setStringParameter('token', 'token');

var response = r.execute();

var jsonString = response.getBody();

var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

gs.print('responseBody' + responseBody);

gs.print('httpStatus' + httpStatus);

//var parser = new JSONParser();

//var parsed = parser.parse(jsonString);
