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.

Can you please test is with basic authentication to see if you are getting result, please find the

var requestBody;

gs.print("start");

var responseBody;

var status;

var sm;

try{

sm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2("test", "get");

gs.print("start1");

sm.setAuthenticationProfile('oauth2', 'token'); // have the name of the oauth2, if it's token then should be fine, more details is here: How to Setup OAuth2 authentication for outbound RESTMessageV2 integrations

gs.print("start2");

response = sm.execute();

var jsonString = response.getBody();  

var parsed = JSON.parse(jsonString);

gs.print('result1' + parsed.result[0].field_name_1); //get the field name which you want to print

gs.print('result2' + parsed.result[0].field_name_2); //get the field name which you want to print

responseBody = response.haveError() ? response.getErrorMessage() : response.getBody();

status = response.getStatusCode();

} catch(ex) {

responseBody = ex.getMessage();

status = '500';

} finally {

requestBody = sm ? sm.getRequestBody():null;

}

i tested with below script with basic authentication and was able to get the result.

var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('2ndSNOWInstance', 'GET');

r.setStringParameter('number', 'INC0010448');

var response = r.execute();

var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

var parsed = JSON.parse(response.getBody());

gs.print('responseBody' + parsed.result[0].number);

Hi Shishir,

i am getting the output as

*** Script: start

*** Script: start1

and for this i just want to set token for Oauth, do i need to create new provider profile name. new or just setting token in this function call is enough   sm.setAuthenticationProfile('oauth2', 'token');

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