Application Programming Interface (API) Problem:
I work with js node, express, request and ejs. The following code works, but the JSON data is not updated. If I browse the raw JSON URL, I do not get the same data as displayed in my request.
app.js file :
var express = required (express) ;
var app = express() ;
var application = required (application) ;
app.set(view engine, ejs) ;
app.use(express.static(__dirname + /public)) ;
app.get(/, function(req, res){const weatherURL = https://api.aerisapi.com/forecasts/:auto?&format=json&limit=1&client_id= + apiId + &client_secret= + apiSecret;request(weatherURL, function(error, response, body){let weather_json = JSON.parse(body);const weather = {forecast: weather_json.response[0].periods[0].weather,temp: weather_json.response[0].periods[0].feelslikeF,icon: weather_json.response[0].periods[0].icon};res.render(index, { again: weather}))
app.listen(process.env.PORT, process.env.IP, function(){
console.log(App started!);
}) ;
I get a partly cloudy sky with isolated thunderstorms at 65° in my application when the data should show a partly cloudy sky at 62°.
Maybe JSON’s stuck in the cache?
JSON from the url:

How do you solve the API problem?
Solution 1:
If you think the data is cached, try adding a time stamp to the query parameters. Something like this:
const weatherURL = https://api.aerisapi.com/forecasts/:auto?&format=json&limit=1&client_id= + apiId + &client_secret= + apiSecret + &t= + Date.now() ;
Solution 2:
I’m trying to reproduce your problem, but I haven’t been able to find a match between the raw json and the data displayed in the views.
Could it have something to do with the ejs cache, have you tried adding this line?
app.disable (view the cache) ;
Good luck!
