Update Cell based on POST parameter App Script - post

Im making a POST request to URL
https://script.google.com/macros/s/{id}/exec?row=5
The request is application/json and the request body is {"json": true}
this is received by an app script which is published as web app (anyone, anonymous)
function doPost(e){
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.openById("16XSfRDLY1RdrUxHujbRCPX6eSh4CqP7ES2kVVDCGgoI");
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("INGRESOSDEDINERO");
var params=JSON.stringify(e.postData.contents);
params=JSON.parse(params);
var myObj=JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
var row=myObj.row;
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActivesheet();
ss.getRange(row,4).setValue("CONTACTED");
console.log("Post function called");
if (typeof e !== 'undefined')
console.log(e.parameter);
sheet.getRange(row,4).setValue(JSON.stringify(e));
}
I'm trying to pass a row number i want to modify as a paramenter. I want to update the cell corresponding to row number, column 5 with a fixed value "CONTACTED". Its not working and under Stackdriver logging i cant see the log despite using console.log

I believe your goal as follows.
You want to give the value of row using the query parameter like https://script.google.com/macros/s/{id}/exec?row=5.
From your script,
You want to put the value of JSON.stringify(e) to the range of getRange(row,4) in the sheet INGRESOSDEDINERO of Spreadsheet 16XSfRDLY1RdrUxHu....
You want to put the value of CONTACTED to the range of getRange(row,4) in the 1st tab of the active Spreadsheet.
In order to achieve your goal by modifying your script, I would like to propose the following modification.
Modification points:
I think that you are trying to retrieve the values requested as the query parameter with the request body. I think that this is the reason of your issue.
When row is given by the query parameter like https://script.google.com/macros/s/{id}/exec?row=5, you can retrieve row from e of doPost(e) with e.parameter.row.
For example, when you request the Web Apps using a script, when a value is returned like return ContentService.createTextOutput("ok"), no error occurs.
If you want to use getActiveSheet(), please modify getActivesheet to getActiveSheet().
Pattern 1:
In this pattern, row is used as the query parameter like your endpoint.
Modified script:
function doPost(e){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("16XSfRDLY1RdrUxHujbRCPX6eSh4CqP7ES2kVVDCGgoI");
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("INGRESOSDEDINERO");
var row = e.parameter.row; // <--- Modified
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet(); // <--- Modified
ss.getRange(row,4).setValue("CONTACTED");
console.log("Post function called");
if (typeof e !== 'undefined')
console.log(e.parameter);
sheet.getRange(row,4).setValue(JSON.stringify(e));
return ContentService.createTextOutput("ok"); // <--- Added
}
Testing
When you test above Web Apps using a curl command, you can use the following curl command.
curl -L -d "key=value" "https://script.google.com/macros/s/###/exec?row=5"
-d "key=value" is used for requesting with the POST method to doPost as the dummy.
Pattern 2:
In this pattern, row is used as the request body like your script.
Modified script 2:
function doPost(e){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("16XSfRDLY1RdrUxHujbRCPX6eSh4CqP7ES2kVVDCGgoI");
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("INGRESOSDEDINERO");
var myObj=JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
var row=myObj.row;
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet(); // <--- Modified
ss.getRange(row,4).setValue("CONTACTED");
console.log("Post function called");
if (typeof e !== 'undefined')
console.log(e.parameter);
sheet.getRange(row,4).setValue(JSON.stringify(e));
return ContentService.createTextOutput("ok"); // <--- Added
}
Testing
When you test above Web Apps using a curl command, you can use the following curl command.
curl -L -d "{\"row\": 5}" "https://script.google.com/macros/s/###/exec"
Note:
When you modified the script of Web Apps, please redeploy the Web Apps as new version. By this, the latest script is reflected to the Web Apps. Please be careful this.

UrlFetchApp.fetch with very long URLs

New to Google Apps Script, trying to retrieve data from a URL with UrlFetchApp.fetch but the URL length is limited to 2kB per call (https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/quotas).
Thus, with a long URL I get the error Limit Exceeded: URLFetch URL Length..
Example:

var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
Is there any way I can get around this limit, maybe by using another library to make the GET request?
EDIT
Jack Brown's solution works well if I run the function from the script editor. In order to make the functionality accessible as a google-spreadsheets function, I used the following:

How to retrieve Medium stories for a user from the API?

I'm trying to integrate Medium blogging into an app by showing some cards with posts images and links to the original Medium publication.
From Medium API docs I can see how to retrieve publications and create posts, but it doesn't mention retrieving posts. Is retrieving posts/stories for a user currently possible using the Medium's API?
The API is write-only and is not intended to retrieve posts (Medium staff told me)
You can simply use the RSS feed as such:
https://medium.com/feed/#your_profile
You can simply get the RSS feed via GET, then if you need it in JSON format just use a NPM module like rss-to-json and you're good to go.
Edit:
It is possible to make a request to the following URL and you will get the response. Unfortunately, the response is in RSS format which would require some parsing to JSON if needed.
https://medium.com/feed/#yourhandle
⚠️ The following approach is not applicable anymore as it is behind Cloudflare's DDoS protection.
If you planning to get it from the Client-side using JavaScript or jQuery or Angular, etc. then you need to build an API gateway or web service that serves your feed. In the case of PHP, RoR, or any server-side that should not be the case.
You can get it directly in JSON format as given beneath:
https://medium.com/#yourhandle/latest?format=json
In my case, I made a simple web service in the express app and host it over Heroku. React App hits the API exposed over Heroku and gets the data.
const MEDIUM_URL = "https://medium.com/#yourhandle/latest?format=json";
router.get("/posts", (req, res, next) => {
request.get(MEDIUM_URL, (err, apiRes, body) => {
if (!err && apiRes.statusCode === 200) {
let i = body.indexOf("{");
const data = body.substr(i);
res.send(data);
} else {
res.sendStatus(500).json(err);
}
});
});
Nowadays this URL:
https://medium.com/#username/latest?format=json
sits behind Cloudflare's DDoS protection service so instead of consistently being served your feed in JSON format, you will usually receive instead an HTML which is suppose to render a website to complete a reCAPTCHA and leaving you with no data from an API request.
And the following:
https://medium.com/feed/#username
has a limit of the latest 10 posts.
I'd suggest this free Cloudflare Worker that I made for this purpose. It works as a facade so you don't have to worry about neither how the posts are obtained from source, reCAPTCHAs or pagination.
Full article about it.
Live example. To fetch the following items add the query param ?next= with the value of the JSON field next which the API provides.
const MdFetch = async (name) => {
const res = await fetch(
`https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=https://medium.com/feed/${name}`
);
return await res.json();
};
const data = await MdFetch('#chawki726');
To get your posts as JSON objects
you can replace your user name instead of #USERNAME.
https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=https://medium.com/feed/#USERNAME
With that REST method you would do this: GET https://api.medium.com/v1/users/{{userId}}/publications and this would return the title, image, and the item's URL.
Further details: https://github.com/Medium/medium-api-docs#32-publications .
You can also add "?format=json" to the end of any URL on Medium and get useful data back.
Use this url, this url will give json format of posts
Replace studytact with your feed name
https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=https://medium.com/feed/studytact
I have built a basic function using AWS Lambda and AWS API Gateway if anyone is interested. A detailed explanation is found on this blog post here and the repository for the the Lambda function built with Node.js is found here on Github. Hopefully someone here finds it useful.
(Updating the JS Fiddle and the Clay function that explains it as we updated the function syntax to be cleaner)
I wrapped the Github package #mark-fasel was mentioning below into a Clay microservice that enables you to do exactly this:
Simplified Return Format: https://www.clay.run/services/nicoslepicos/medium-get-user-posts-new/code
I put together a little fiddle, since a user was asking how to use the endpoint in HTML to get the titles for their last 3 posts:
https://jsfiddle.net/h405m3ma/3/
You can call the API as:
curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"username":"nicolaerusan"}' https://clay.run/services/nicoslepicos/medium-get-users-posts-simple
You can also use it easily in your node code using the clay-client npm package and just write:
Clay.run('nicoslepicos/medium-get-user-posts-new', {"profile":"profileValue"})
.then((result) => {
// Do what you want with returned result
console.log(result);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
});
Hope that's helpful!
Check this One you will get all info about your own post........
mediumController.getBlogs = (req, res) => {
parser('https://medium.com/feed/#profileName', function (err, rss) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
}
var stories = [];
for (var i = rss.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var new_story = {};
new_story.title = rss[i].title;
new_story.description = rss[i].description;
new_story.date = rss[i].date;
new_story.link = rss[i].link;
new_story.author = rss[i].author;
new_story.comments = rss[i].comments;
stories.push(new_story);
}
console.log('stories:');
console.dir(stories);
res.json(200, {
Data: stories
})
});
}
I have created a custom REST API to retrieve the stats of a given post on Medium, all you need is to send a GET request to my custom API and you will retrieve the stats as a Json abject as follows:
Request :
curl https://endpoint/api/stats?story_url=THE_URL_OF_THE_MEDIUM_STORY
Response:
{
"claps": 78,
"comments": 1
}
The API responds within a reasonable response time (< 2 sec), you can find more about it in the following Medium article.

Creating Trello cards with Google Apps and OAuth

I'm trying to build a Google Apps Script that integrates with Trello, the idea being to use it to push information from spreadsheets and forms into the Trello API and create cards on a pending list on a certain board.
I found another question that pointed me in the right direction, and added in OAuth based on the GAS OAuth Documentation. The problem is I can't post the the board. I run the script, the OAuth prompt fires, and the script completes with no errors. I can also GET data from the private board, so I assume the authorization is working properly.
So, what am I doing wrong that prevents my script from POSTing to Trello?
Here's the code I'm working with:
var trelloKey = [Trello API key];
var trelloSecret = [Trello API key secret];
var trelloList = [the id of the list we're posting to];
var oauthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService('trello');
oauthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl('https://trello.com/1/OAuthGetAccessToken');
oauthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl('https://trello.com/1/OAuthGetRequestToken');
oauthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl('https://trello.com/1/OAuthAuthorizeToken');
oauthConfig.setConsumerKey(trelloKey);
oauthConfig.setConsumerSecret(trelloSecret);
function createTrelloCard() {
//POST [/1/cards], Required permissions: write
var payload = {'name': 'apiUploadedCard',
'desc': 'description',
'pos': 'top',
'due': '',
'idList': trelloList};
var url = 'https://api.trello.com/1/cards'
var options = {'method' : 'post',
'payload' : payload,
'oAuthServiceName' : 'trello',
'oAuthUseToken' : 'always'};
UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
}
You just need set fetch options contentType to application/json. I just resolved the same problem by this.
Try adding the scope=read,write in your authorization url.
from:
oauthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl('https://trello.com/1/OAuthAuthorizeToken');
to:
oauthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://trello.com/1/OAuthAuthorizeToken?scope=read,write");

How do I find Client ID in Google Adwords Scripts

Question 1: -
I am using the script below which works fine, but cant seem to get the Client ID (eg Bobs Bakers) I have many clients and want to run this from within google adwords scripts. (Not the API).
Question 2:
Is there a way to run this across all clients, giving me all campaigns they have? Or do I have to run this script from within each client?
function main() {
var campaignsIterator = AdWordsApp.campaigns()
.withCondition("Status = ENABLED");
.forDateRange('TODAY')
.get();
var csv = 'CampaignName, Impressions,Clicks,AveragePosition,AverageCpc,ConversionRate,Conversions,Ctr,Cost';
while (campaignsIterator.hasNext())
{
var campaign = campaignsIterator.next();
var stats = campaign.getStatsFor("TODAY");
var row = [
campaign,
stats.getImpressions(),
stats.getClicks(),
stats.getAveragePosition(),
stats.getAverageCpc(),
stats.getConversionRate(),
stats.getConversions(),
stats.getCtr(),
stats.getCost()];
csv += '\n' + row.join(',');
}
}
can't find the customer name, but here's a way to see the account id:
AdWordsApp.currentAccount().getCustomerId()
running the same script across accounts isn't possible as of yet. You'll have to run the script from within each client.

Unexpected exception upon serializing continuation

I get this error: Unexpected exception upon serializing continuation (not much help)
It is caused by the FetchUrlApp.fetch(); call. I akm using Google Apps Script for Sites, not Google Spreadsheets. The code works in the original instance but as soon as I copy and paste the code into a new project I get the above error message. I am accessing Google Docs APIs.

Thank you in advance,

You have to set both consumerKey and consumerSecret to "anonymous" in order to trigger the 3-legged OAuth process:
oauthConfig.setConsumerKey("anonymous");
oauthConfig.setConsumerSecret("anonymous");
Replace your two lines with these and the authorization popup dialog will show up, allowing the user to grant access to its documents.
What I would suggest is to write a special function that does nothing else than call the Oauth process and call it from the script editor once.
As an example, here is the one I have used recently to make the authorize popup appear :
function authorize(){
// function to call from the script editor to authorize googleOauth
var id=mailtemplatedoc
var url = 'https://docs.google.com/feeds/';
var doc = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url+'download/documents/Export? exportFormat=html&format=html&id='+id,
googleOAuth_('docs',url)).getContentText();
}
EDIT : And the missing part I had forgotten :
function googleOAuth_(name,scope) {
var oAuthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService(name);
oAuthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope="+scope);
oAuthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
oAuthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
oAuthConfig.setConsumerKey('anonymous');
oAuthConfig.setConsumerSecret('anonymous');
return {oAuthServiceName:name, oAuthUseToken:"always"};
}
