How to send POST variables with Nipple on NodeJS - node.js

I am trying to use nipple to post to an url within my nodejs application, which itself is running on hapi.js
The documentation essentially doesn't seem to spell it out.
(https://www.npmjs.com/package/nipple)
I tried passing it as payload inside options but that, while not returning an error, returns a 400. Can someone provide a correct example doing a post using nipple?
Essentially, I have two variables that I need to send - let's call the var1 and var2.
Thanks!

That link says that the project has been renamed to wreck. On wreck's github, several of the tests are for a post requests, including this one:
https://github.com/hapijs/wreck/blob/master/test/index.js#L68
If you are still scratching your head, you could also try using curl or postman to sanity check your URL, regardless of any nipple/wreck errors. If that also gives you a 400, nipple/wreck may not be the culprit.

(Asana) XML is invalid: Headers are not supported on this surface

I am pretty sure I am using exactly the same code in the following two cases, as I tested it on Postman first.
The first time I tried to create a task from Postman, it has no issue.
The next time I tried to do the same from my NodeJS server, and it shows this error. I tried the client SDK package and manually calling through Axios, both are not working and throwing the same error.
Is the Asana API not callable from NodeJS server?
It turns out the "Headers" does not indicate the Headers sent with the request, but the "Headers" HTML Element inside the rich text field. Ensure there's no h1-h6 element in your html_notes can solve this issue.

Multiple api call

I'm trying to build a nodejs app that runs and if statement to query multiple api's to return a result. Example, running yelps api first, if it finds then break, else continue query another api such as google places or white pages api until it finds a result.
I am passing in either a name of a business, address to return a telephone number. the results expected are in json. I am drawing a blank.
ideas?
so the way to achieve this is you should be able to make http req from your server side and when a result comes with a response then you should check that response. If your requested answer is not in it then you should keep on trying other API end points untill u come across with a suitable response..
so here are some npm packages to achieve this simply
http - node js built in package
Axios - here
request - here
try using one of these packages .. I would use axios .. read their doc and try to do it .. It should clear somethings out for you

php library for flickr API

I am banging my head trying to use Flickr API...
My goal is to be able to upload images and create albums in my Flickr account from my website...
I tried the phpFlickr library but apparently it needs updates for getting authenticated tokens...It keeps giving me "Invalid auth token".
I did some reading on how to get tokens and using DPZFlickr managed to get oauth_token & oauth_verifier but failed to exchange that with an access token...It also failed in uploading any photo to my account using the included upload.php example (Giving me an "empty" error!).
After digging in DBZ flickr.php code, I managed to get this error when trying to upload to Flickr: "oauth_problem=signature_invalid&"
So I began to search how to create a valid signature to eventually get a valid access token...and concluded that it is quite some work to be done here if I am going to build everything from scratch.
So my question is: Are there any updated php libraries that I can use to successfully create albums and upload photos to my Flickr account? Or should I go ahead and try building one?
OK..I finally got it to work with the DPZ library.
For future reference anybody facing the same problem as I had:
I managed to create an album using DPZFlickr by changing the method in auth.php to flickr.photosets.create....which indicated that the library correctly generates an access token with write permission..
However, the upload example kept giving me the "Invalid signature" error....
I checked the code. Flickr.php correctly unsets the photo parameter before signing the request then adds it back and submits the request which is exactly as indicated in: www.flickr.com/services/api/upload.api.html
I found a discussion in https://www.flickr.com/groups/51035612836#N01/discuss/72157650261711318/ that cleared out that the error was not actually a signature problem, but rather the 'photo' parameter that is being sent is the problem. It's just that Flickr doesn't know what to do with the photo parameter so it sends the signature error.
So what' wrong with the photo parameter?
Flickr API requires that the image has to be sent in binary form...The DBZ library, Flickr.php script line 677, does the hard work for us using the cURL function in php (http://au.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php).
It sends the $parameters (which includes the uploaded photo) to the post field of the http request which should do the upload in binary format for us.
However, a brilliant comment I found in CURL PHP send image
states that:
"CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD defaulted to true in 5.6.0... so you will need to add curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD, false); before setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS"
Checking the manual: http://au.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
it says:
"Added in PHP 5.5.0 with FALSE as the default value. PHP 5.6.0 changes the default value to TRUE."
So if your php version is 5.5.0 the library will work just fine whilst if using version PHP 5.6.0 you need to add a line before 677 in Flickr.php to change the CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD to false (that's why the library works with some and others not).
To solve the issue...Just add this line before line 677 in Flickr.php:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD, false);
That's it. (-:

Cannot display an overview of this response error in nexmo

i tried to run the code present in the below link
https://github.com/linroex/Nexmo-PHP-Library/blob/master/NexmoMessage.php
but i am getting cannot display overview of this response.warning Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in NexmoMessage.php on line 228.
or else please suggest some api to be used to send sms to phone using php which could be implemented easily
Check out https://docs.nexmo.com/tools/libraries for a list of libraries Nexmo recommends. Personally I'm a fan of https://github.com/fillup/nexmo since I wrote it, but I'm sure https://github.com/appleboy/CodeIgniter-Nexmo-Message is great too. If you try the fillup/nexmo library and have any issues let me know, will be glad to help.

Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing when requesting data using Flask-OAuth

I'm integrating Google's login with a Flask site using Flask-OAuth.
Everything is working fine. I can authorise the login and get a token back etc without any difficulties. But when I use Flask-OAuth's get method to request the logged in user's email address I get an error saying:
TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing
I'm using Python3 and this has the smell of a Python version issue but I can't figure out what I'd need to change.
The code I'm using is this:
def get_additional_data(self):
access_token = session.get('oauth_token')
headers = {'Authorization': 'OAuth ' + access_token[0]}
return self.service.get(
'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo', None,
headers=headers)
I'm not sure what I can encode in that request. Even if I don't pass the headers I get the same error (rather than an invalid request or something like that).
I've run 2to3 on oauth2/__init__.py and the tweaks is suggests are very minor and shouldn't prevent the code from running in Python 3. Also, everything else OAuth2 related is working.
The bad news is that the solution to this problem is switching to Flask-OAuthlib.
The good news is it required very few changes from Flask-OAuth to get it working.
