How to grab json file from external url(PLACES API) using firebase functions

发布于 2020-03-27 10:21:30

So, I want to send a request from my app to Firebase using cloud funtions and then process process url and send back JSON file from places api

WHAT I HAVE ALREADY DONE/HAVE=> After Setting up the project in console and getting firebase CLI created a cloud function as follows

After following your comments this is my full function code:

const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
const rp = require('request-promise');

exports.fetch = functions.https.onCall((req, res) => {

    const url = req.url + '&key=MY_API_KEY';
    var options = {
        uri: url, // Automatically parses the JSON string in the response
        json: true
    };  

    rp(options)
    .then(result => {
        console.log('Get response:' + response.statusCode);
        return res.type('application/json').send(result);
    }).catch(err => {
        // API call failed...
        return res.send({'Error': err});
    });

})

and in java class passed values like this

     private Task<String> addMessage(String url) {
            // Create the arguments to the callable function.
            Map<String, Object> data = new HashMap<>();
            data.put("url", url);///PASSING VALUES HERE
            return mFunctions
                    .getHttpsCallable("fetch")
                    .call(data)
                    .continueWith(task -> 
(String) Objects.requireNonNull(task.getResult()).getData());
        }

Now What my problem is while deploying new function code with firebase CLI I am getting 16:8 error Each then() should return a value or throw promise/always-return as error

Can anyone guide me please..,

URL will be like this : https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=17.4369681,78.4473887&radius=5000&type=airport&sensor=true&key=MY_KEY

Here are the log details from console

This worked for me., using return before promise returns the result from promise, and we need to use return when using functions.https.onCall and res.send when using functions.https.onRequest it took me 3 days to get it & no need of adding json=true in request-promise options when your url returns a json, it just made things complicated

const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
const rp = require('request-promise');

exports.fetch = functions.https.onCall((req, res) => {

    const url = req.url + '&key=MY_API_KEY';
    var options = {
        uri: url, // Automatically parses the JSON string in the response
    };

    return rp(options)
    .then(result => {
        console.log('here is response: ' + result);
        return result;
    }).catch(err => {
        // API call failed...
        return err;
    });

})
