Cannot Access API

[Clund1]

What's the problem you're trying to solve?

Cannot gain access to API. I think its an issue with my key or hwo to integrate it.

Post any code you think might be relevant (one fenced block per file)

If you see an error message, post it here. If you don't, what unexpected behavior are you seeing?

cannot GET /games

What is your best guess as to the source of the problem?

I genuinely either think its the key or how I'm setting up my calls

What things have you already tried to solve the problem?

Can you post the code with the associated controllers and views?

[Clund1]

controller

//GET -> /games
router.get('/games', (req, res) => {
    const { username, loggedIn, userId } = req.session
    //Axios API Call & Render Index || Render Error
    axios(allGamesUrl, {
        params: {
            key:apiKey
        }
    })
    //If Data Return Index Page
        .then(apiRes => {
            res.render('games/index', { games: apiRes.data, username, userId, loggedIn })
        })
        //Or Redirect Error Page
        .catch(err => {
            console.log('error')
            res.redirect(`/error?error=${err}`)
        })
})

how are you building the allGamesUrl in that file? Share the code for that

[Clund1]

const allGamesUrl = process.env.API_GAMES_URL

and that references this in my env (along with my API Key for posterity)

API_KEY=THE API KEY LOOKED GOOD
API_GAMES_URL=https://api.rawg.io/api/games

[timmshinbone]

ok, share a link to the docs, specifically the section about using the API key

[nayaba]

Have you tried making a request in the browser, just confirm the url and api key work?

[nayaba]

Also what url are you navigating to that receives this error message?

[Clund1]

Theres no mention of an api key in the docs other than this blip on the home page

[nayaba]

This is the endpoint to get all the games:

https://api.rawg.io/api/games?key=<api-key>

which matches your axios request...

[Clund1]

Also what url are you navigating to that receives this error message?

After login, it should redirect to the/games index page

[nayaba]

I'm very specifically trying to confirm that your redirect is going to /games/games

[Clund1]

The redirect is games/index

[Clund1]

After login its actually now sending me to my error landing telling me the page does not exist

[Clund1]

when going to /games the page displays this

[nayaba]

So your games router is at /games and then your index controller is also at /games - what happens when you navigate to /games/games?
