I have traced some ajax stuff and I am trying to figure out what it means. I was hoping to translate it into a url but it seems to involve some Get request based on searched I did.
An help appreciated.
**new Ajax.Request(fspring.baseURL+"search/getProfileResults",
{parameters:{ajax:1,q:_4,page:_5},onStatOK:function(_6){ var _7=new Element("div");
I thought it would be the baseURL in this case
http://helloworld.com/search/getProfileResults and I know it needs two parameters
fspring.baseURL could be anything, so I can't really help you there. It doesn't ring a bell to me for any particular Javascript library.
The parameters object will be converted by Prototype into a querystring, in this case it'll look something like this:
http://helloworld.com/search/getProfileResults?ajax=1&q=_4&page=_5
Except _4 and _5 will be replaced with the variable contents.
An easier way to figure out what's going on would be to just open up the page in Firebug and look in the Console to see what the AJAX query was.

I was hoping someone could help me with something i've been stuck on. I'm not even sure if it's possible to do.
So i basically have a huge Json file which includes all objects used for a certain slide Specifically i used this GET command:
GET https://slides.googleapis.com/v1/presentations/{presentationId}
I then got a huge 200.000 line Json response which has alot of stuff like colors for each thing, position of every element on each slide ect. I save this as a JSON file on my pc. I only need it once as a form of template.
Then my golang code dynamically edits some of its values (after converting it to structs ofc).
Now i want to POST it back up. It has a new name now, new ID, but 99,9% of the values are the same.
Is it possible to do this?
And sorry in advance. I know people here tend to get mad at "stupid questions" or if i forget to add something, but i'm new here, and i hope I can get some help. Been stuck for a long while.
Yes, you can. There is a Go client library that allows you to do this if you're not set on using a REST API. If you are set on using a REST API, you should be able to post this endpoint:
POST https://slides.googleapis.com/v1/presentations/{presentationId}:batchUpdate
Side note, the Google documentation (imo) is fantastic, a little googling goes a long ways :)
I was hoping someone had some experience using the entsp flag in GSA and was able to point out what I am doing wrong. I've read the documentation but can't figure it out.
The query string I am passing through is:
?as_sitesearch=examplesite.com&callback=angular.callbacks._1&collection=hybrid_site_colection&entsp=a__di_site_biasing&frontend=jsonp&num=10&query=test&start=0
I've set up the biasing in the GSA, and when I apply it to the frontend itself, it behaves. But I was hoping to pass it in dynamically, as I believed you could (we are likely to want to dynamically pass through one of a few biasing, depending on where the user is coming from), it makes no difference.
Am I missing a tag, or can someone see anything else wrong?
Sorry, peoples, I've seen now that the problem is that we are going through a JSON bridge that isn't passing through my variables.
When I go directly to the GSA with a frontend, it works.
I want extract a number provided by javascript object in site, but I really don't understand that I am doing.
I tried different versions using alike examples and guidelines in import.io site and other tutorial sites, but I got only 1 of two results: extracted all numbers on given page or nothing at all.
I tried e.g. //[contains(.,"Unikālo apmeklējumu skaits:")]#type ; //[contains(.,"Unikālo apmeklējumu skaits:")] . Most likely it's necessary to add there something else, but I just don't know that.
Link I am interested in to extract from is: https://www.ss.lv/msg/lv/clothes-footwear/womens-clothes/trousers/ikcbb.html and information necessary is a number after text "Unikālo apmeklējumu skaits:" which is given by javascript.
Hopefully someone will be able to help me with this problem.
For someone who is new in web-scraping this should be a hard task, I'll ty to explain it. First of all, the xpath to get to that location could be something like this:
'//td[#class="msg_footer" and contains(text(), "Unik")]'
Now you have that tag (and what it contains), but if you check it doesn't contain the number you need, that content is being dynamically loaded with a javascript, and the javascript is this one:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var ss_w='rādīt numuru';
document.write( '<scr'+'ipt id="contacts_js" src="/js/2015-10-27/37863/VHoBGkpqSV8bfwkdTX9AXEpZXCVDlASIQ1ZV3kK.js?t='+new Date()+'"></scr'+'ipt>' );
--></script>
which could be gotten from the response with this xpath:
'//script[contains(text(), "contacts_js")]/text()'
from that string, you should replicate the url that comes in src, so this url for example:
/js/2015-10-27/37863/VHoBGkpqSV8bfwkdTX9AXEpZXCVDlASIQ1ZV3kK.js?t=
and add to the end the current date, as javascript creates it with new Date(). Then you should make a request to that url (adding the previous response domain), so something like:
https://www.ss.lv/js/2015-10-27/37863/VHoBGkpqSV8bfwkdTX9AXEpZXCVDlASIQ1ZV3kK.js?t=Wed%20Oct%2028%202015%2020:56:42%20GMT-0500%20(PET)
check that the date is urlencoded. it should return a response like:
var PHONE_CNT=-1;var PHONE_CNT2=-1;var PHONE_CNT3=-1;var EMAIL_CNT=-1;var SHOW_CNT=22;var PH_c="";var PH_1=0;var PH_2=0;var PH_3=0;
pcc_id=0;PH_1=gpzd("JTg3aCU3QyU1QnolN0MlN0JYcWh6JTVCdCU5NSU4QyU5MnV4ayU5QXElN0IlOTQlNUNweiU5MGtvJTdCJThFJTVF","55937369");
where you can check that the value inside SHOW_CNT is the number you want.
If you want to know how I figured out which request and which script was populating that response tag, well that I did using firebug, searching for SHOW_CNT inside all of the responses that involve calling to your URL, which pointed to the request I specified, and then trying to check who was requesting that.
Hope it helped.
support#import.io are the guys to speak to, they give free advice and help trouble shoot problems just like this all the time.
There are all kinds of tips and tricks you can use... for example import.io provide (an undocumented beta) JavaScript Pre-render service that would likely work for you in this scenario. API publish failures are sometimes caused by timeouts while waiting for sites to render JS, this would fix that.

Scenario:
I have a Board model in my Rails server side, and an Android device is trying to post some content to a specific board via a POST. Finally, the server needs to send back a response to the Android device.
How do I parse the POST manually (or do I need to)? I am not sure how to handle this kind of external request. I looked into Metal, Middleware, HttpParty; but none of them seems to fit what I am trying to do. The reason I want to parse it manually is because some of the information I want will not be part of the parameters.
Does anyone know a way to approach this problem?
I am also thinking about using SSL later on, how might this affect the problem?
Thank you in advance!! :)
I was trying to make a cross-domain request from ie9 to my rails app, and I needed to parse the body of a POST manually because ie9's XDR object restricts the contentType that we can send to text/plain, rather than application/x-www-urlencoded (see this post). Originally I had just been using the params hash provided by the controller, but once I restricted the contentType and dataType in my ajax request, that hash no longer contained the right information.
Following the URL in the comment above (link), I learned the how to recover that information. The author mentions that in a rails controller we always have access to a request variable that gives us an instance of the ActionDispatch::Request object. I tried to use request.query_string to get at the request body, but that just returned an empty string. A bit of snooping in the API, though, uncovered the raw_post method. That method returned exactly what I needed!
To "parse it manually" you could iterate over the string returned by request.raw_post and do whatever you want, but I don't recommend it. I used Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query, as suggested in Arthur Gunn's answer to this question, to parse the raw_post into a hash. Once it is in hash form, you can shove whatever else you need in there, and then merge it with the params hash. Doing this meant I didn't have to change much else in my controller!
params.merge!(Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query(request.raw_post))
Hope that helps someone!
Not sure exactly what you mean by "manually", posts are normally handled by the "create" or "update" methods in the controller. Check out the controller for your Board model, and you can add code to the appropriate method. You can access the params with the params hash.
You should be more specific about what you are trying to do. :)
I use this Processing Output function _output(), it work very good with me, but in my controller some output like json, image, i wonn't proccessed by this function!!
so,How _output() function works only in specific type of header?
_output, like _resolve is a catch-all (It's in the docs and I've seen it in the code). It will fire every time and there really isn't a way around that. It's sort of the point of those functions, actually.
You do have options, however, in what you'd like to do with the data once you have it, but then you are limited to either putting a private var in your controller (before you call view, you set a flag, $this->_myFlag = 'BITMAP' or something) or parsing output's parameter (that can get expensive fast).
After that, you're stuck out of luck.
