I’m using geonames API and get data from it with a post request. Now I want to take part of these data (lat, long) and pass it through another API (weatherbit API) as my project need to pass (lat and long) in URL and get data from it I try to make a get request in server-side to grab information and secure api key but it give me undefined . the code gives me undefined in URL parameters
I define empty object in my server-side code weatherData = {}
of course, I can access the info inside post request
when I try to access these data inside the get request I get the undefined as in this example
(EX. *******&lat=undefined&lon=undefined&key=API_KEY)
here my code How can I do this?
in client-side
const getWeatherIoURL = async (url) => {
const response = await fetch(url);
try {
const data = await response.text();
//console.log(data);
return data;
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
};
export default getWeatherIoURL;
my code in server-side for both post request and get request
weatherData = {}
app.post('/geoNamesData', (request, response) => {
weatherData['date'] = new Date();
weatherData['countryName'] = request.body.countryName;
weatherData['latitude'] = request.body.latitude;
weatherData['longitude'] = request.body.longitude;
response.send(weatherData);
console.log(wetherData); // here i have data
});
//console.log(`your api is: ${process.env.API_WEATHER_KEY}`);
console.log(wetherData); // here i have undefined
app.get('/weatherURL', (request, respond) => {
const url_forecast = 'https://api.weatherbit.io/v2.0/forecast/daily';
const lat = `lat=${weatherData.latitude}`;
const long = `lon=${weatherData.longitude}`;
const url = `${url_forecast}?${lat}&${long}&key=${process.env.API_WEATHER_KEY}`;
console.log(url);
respond.send(url);
});
my code structure
geoNamesData(baseURL, destination, API_Credentials)
.then((data) => {
//console.log(data);
postData('/geoNamesData', {
date: new Date(),
countryName: data.countryName,
latitude: data.lat,
longitude: data.lng,
});
})
getWeatherIoURL('/weatherURL')
.then(data=>{
console.log(data)
exposeWeatherIoForecast(data);
})
const geoNamesData = async (url, destination, api) => {
const response = await fetch(url + destination + api);
try {
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.geonames[0]);
return data.geonames[0];
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
};
const getWeatherIoURL = async (url) => {
const response = await fetch(url);
try {
const data = await response.text();
//console.log(data);
return data;
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
};
the flow of my code is get latitude, longitude and country name for specific city entered by user using geonames API then use the latitude and longitude from this request as a parameters in another API (wathearbit) - which need these data to complete the request - to get the current or forecast weather for the city and update UI with these information ** city, Country Name , weather **
