Getting "Error executing REST request: Invalid uri" from API response

[pkarki113]

So I am trying to make a GET request in my business rule. However, when I debug it via application logs I am getting "Error executing REST request: Invalid uri". When I paste the URL, my browser can load it and I get a response from the API. What could be going wrong?

My code is here: https://pastebin.com/xExKD3s5

I googled my error, but the only ServiceNow specific question I found did not seem to pertain to programatically performed HTTP requests, instead it was done using some sort of interface for making HTTP requests.

What is the endpoint URL? Is that onPremise or on cloud. If end point is on-premise, you also need a mid Server.

Also can you change this line to 

var url = 'http://apilayer.net/api/validate?access_key=a3b93a330639ef3615d23d20b489d38c&address1='+ add+'&postal_code=' + zipp + '&locality=' + city + '&country_code=USA';

gs.info('+++url is++++'+url);

request.setEndpoint(url);

I did as you asked. The logs say this: 

+++url is++++http://apilayer.net/api/validate?access_key=a3b93a330639ef3615d23d20b489d38c&address1=1600 Pennsylvania Ave SE&postal_code=20003&locality=Washington&country_code=USA

http response error: Error invoking http request: Error executing REST request: Invalid uri 'http://apilayer.net/api/validate?access_key=a3b93a330639ef3615d23d20b489d38c&address1=1600 Pennsylvania Ave SE&postal_code=20003&locality=Washington&country_code=USA': Invalid query

Once again, if I copy and paste the URL, I get a successful response. As far as if the API is on-premise or cloud...I'm not sure. https://streetlayer.com/documentation That is their website, but I didn't see anything on their main docs page.

Hi,

Instead of passing values in endpoint, set all with the help of setQueryParameter(parametername,value);

like your url will be

var endpoint = "http://apilayer.net/api/validate?";
var request = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
request.setEndpoint(endpoint);
request.setHttpMethod('GET');
request.setRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");
request.setQueryParameter('access_key','a3b93a330639ef3615d23d20b489d38c&address1=');
request.setQueryParameter('postal_code',value);

Thanks,

Rashmi
