Hi guys I am having an issue and have read over a few topics on here and still can't solve my problem.
I am building an API on rails 4.0 and I have a method in my controller, shown bellow:
def jsonApiSearch
#firstName = params[:fn] #
#lastName = params[:ls] #
#eID = params[:custid] #
#prod = params[:prod] #
#classifation = params[:classifation] #
#status = params[:status] #
#specialty = params[:specialty] #
#aIDType = params[:aIDType] #
#aID = params[:aID] #
#address = params[:address] #
#city = params[:city] #
#state = params[:state] #
#country = params[:country] #
#postalCode = params[:pc] #
#role = params[:role]
#affiliation = params[:affill]
#priorityRank = params[:pr]
#strict = params[:strict]
#do something with the data
end
My Route File has the the following code:
post '/jsonsearch', to: 'api#jsonApiSearch'
So I then send a post request to the /jsonsearch endpoint.
I set the content type and the application/json, and then place this into the body as a this:
{"message": "Let's see if this works.","subject": "JSON via curl"}
I keep getting back a 422 Unprocessable Entity error.
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
SOLVED:
Turns out that I left protect_from_forgery enabled, which was causing an issue. That is now fixed.
Turns out that I left protect_from_forgery enabled, which was causing an issue. It is turned on be default and will stop any non-get methods from working without some sort of authorization in place. Turn it off and your post will start working.

I am working on a project to do CRUD Operations to firebase. I made use of this to help facilitate and link my ruby project to firebase.
Functions:
def delete_firebase(event_params,rootpath="Events/")
query = init_firebase.delete(rootpath,event_params)
end
def new_firebase(event_params,rootpath="Events")
query = init_firebase.push(rootpath,event_params)
end
def init_firebase # Inits firebase project with URL and secret
firebaseURL = "myfirebaseprojecturl"
firebaseSecret = "myfirebasesecret"
firebase = Firebase::Client.new(firebaseURL, firebaseSecret)
end
Event params consist of my event parameters as shown below
def event_params
params.require(:event).permit(:eventID, :eventName, :attachment, :eventNoOfPpl, :eventAdminEmail, {eventpics: []})
end
I encountered an issue. When I push with push() into firebase, there is a random key like -LSFOklvcdmfPOWrxgBo. In such case, the structure of the document would look like this:
But I cannot delete anything from -LSFOklvcdmfPOWrxgBo as I do not have the value. I used delete() from Oscar's firebase-ruby gem. I would appreciate any help with this issue.
I re-read the gem docs, and got some help from my friends and came up with two solutions
The body's response has response.body # => { 'name' => "-INOQPH-aV_psbk3ZXEX" } and thus, you're able to find out the name if you'd like
Change the index, and don't use .push, instead I made use of .set and did a random number for every event
Final solution
def load_firebase(root_path = "Events")
firebase_json = init_firebase.get(root_path)
if valid_json?(firebase_json.raw_body)
#json_object = JSON.parse(firebase_json.raw_body)
end
end
def update_firebase(event_params, root_path = "Events/")
init_firebase.update("#{root_path}#{event_params["eventID"]}", event_params)
end
def delete_firebase(event_params, root_path = "Events/")
init_firebase.delete("#{root_path}#{event_params["eventID"]}")
end
def save_firebase(event_params, root_path = "Events/")
init_firebase.set("#{root_path}#{event_params["eventID"]}", event_params)
end
I am working on an app where I am required to fetch and save the open graph data of a website.
So far I have been able to grab properties such as title, description, url by using this code
before_save :get_meta_from_link
def check_link
begin
#page_link = MetaInspector.new(sanitized_url)
rescue Faraday::ConnectionFailed => e
errors.add(:link, "Oops, can't be processed ATM")
end
end
def get_meta_from_link
page = #page_link
return unless page.to_hash.present?
if page.title.present?
self.title = page.title
end
if page.description.present?
self.description = page.description
end
if page.url.present?
self.url = page.url
end
end
I am using the metainspector gem and trying to grab values such as og:locale, og:type. How can I fetch those values?
This is the link I am using to cross reference values: https://metainspectordemo.herokuapp.com
Ok, so I managed to solve it using
def check_link
begin
#page_link = MetaInspector.new(sanitized_url)
rescue MetaInspector::RequestError => e
errors.add(:link, "you provided is not being read by our system. Please check the link.")
end
end
in my link model
followed by
def get_meta_from_link
page = #page_link
paje = #page_link.meta_tags
return unless page.to_hash.present?
if page.title.present?
self.btitle = page.title
end
end
I have a get request that retrieves JSON needed for graphs to display on a page. I'd do it in JQuery, but because of the API that I am using, it is not possible -- so I have to do it in rails.
I'm wondering this: If I run the get request on a separate thread in the page's action, can the variable then be passed to javascript after the page loads? I'm not sure how threading works in rails.
Would something like this work:
Thread.new do
url = URI.parse("http://api.steampowered.com/IDOTAMatch_570/GetMatchHistory/v001/?key=#{ENV['STEAM_WEB_API_KEY']}&account_id=#{id}&matches_requested=25&game_mode=1234516&format=json")
res = Net::HTTP::get(url)
matchlist = JSON.parse(res)
matches = []
if matchlist['result'] == 1 then
matchlist['result']['matches'].each do |match|
matches.push(GetMatchWin(match['match_id']))
end
end
def GetMatchWin(match_id, id)
match_data = matchlist["result"]["matches"].select {|m| m["match_id"] == match_id}
end
end
end
Given that the above code is in a helper file, and it then gets called in the action for the controller as such:
def index
if not session.key?(:current_user) then
redirect_to root_path
else
gon.winlossdata = GetMatchHistoryRawData(session[:current_user][:uid32])
end
end
The "gon" part is just a gem to pass data to javascript.
I want to update model via PUT request in Rails app. What would be the best way to do that?
Basically I have:
def method
...
#relation = Relation.find(34)
#relation.name = "new_name"
#relation.save
end
This gives me errors in SQLite ("cannot start a transaction within a transaction").
Switching to put/post should I guess save the problem.. What would be the right way to do it?
So after some time, I actually found the solution. Here is the code for the Resque worker, that updates the Relation model via PUT. Using this method I don't get SQLite busy exception errors.
class VideoCollector
def self.perform(rel_id)
#relation = Relation.find_by_id(rel_id)
#url = Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.relation_url(#relation)
#uri = URI(#url)
#body ={"collected" => "true"}.to_json
request = Net::HTTP::Put.new(#uri.path, initheader = {'Content-Type' =>'application/json'})
request.body = #body
response = Net::HTTP.new(#uri.host, #uri.port).start {|http| http.request(request) }
end
end
Maybe that will be useful to someone.
So I have some code here I need to modify regarding a Rails Sweeper:
class UserTrackingSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe User
def after_update(user)
return if user.nil? || user.created_at.nil? #fix weird bug complaining about to_date on nil class
return if user.created_at.to_date < Date.today || user.email.blank?
user.send_welcome_email if user.email_was.blank?
end
#use sweeper as a way to ingest metadata from the user access to the site automatically
def after_create(user)
begin
if !cookies[:user_tracking_meta].nil?
full_traffic_source = cookies[:user_tracking_meta]
else
if !session.empty? && !session[:session_id].blank?
user_tracking_meta = Rails.cache.read("user_meta_data#{session[:session_id]}")
full_traffic_source = CGI::unescape(user_tracking_meta[:traffic_source])
end
end
traffic_source = URI::parse(full_traffic_source).host || "direct"
rescue Exception => e
Rails.logger.info "ERROR tracking ref link. #{e.message}"
traffic_source = "unknown"
full_traffic_source = "unknown"
end
# if I am registered from already, than use that for now (false or null use site)
registered_from = user.registered_from || "site"
if params && params[:controller]
registered_from = "quiz" if params[:controller].match(/quiz/i)
# registered_from = "api" if params[:controller].match(/api/i)
end
meta = {
:traffic_source => user.traffic_source || traffic_source,
:full_traffic_source => full_traffic_source,
:registered_from => registered_from,
:id_hash => user.get_id_hash
}
user.update_attributes(meta)
end
end
The problem is I've noticed that it dosen't seem possible to access the cookies and parameters hash within a sweeper yet it appears fine in some of our company's integration environments. It does not work in my local machine though. So my questions are:
How is it possible to access params / cookies within a Sweeper?
If it's not possible, what would you do instead?
Thanks
I'm sure you can use session variables in a Cache Sweeper so if anything put whatever you need there and you're set
