The API I am working with sends data in blocks of 50 results maximum. To retrieve the next block I need to include an offset parameter eg. offset="50".
Please help me amend my code to include a loop that will continue if the number of results in each loop = 50.
Thank you in advance.
exports.offsetloop = functions.https.onRequest((req,result) => {
var offset = "0";
var from = "2017-03-01";
var to = "2017-05-05";
var http = require("https");
var options = {
"method": "GET",
"hostname": "example.com",
"port": null,
"path": "/api/v1/entries.json?to="+to+"%2B00%253A00%253A00&from="+from+"%2B00%253A00%253A00&offset="+offset+"&api_key=123456",
"headers": {
"accept": "application/json"
}
};
var req = http.request(options, function (res) {
var chunks = [];
res.on("data", function (chunk) {
chunks.push(chunk);
});
res.on("end", function () {
var body = Buffer.concat(chunks).toString();
body = JSON.parse(body);
//save to database etc.
//if(body.length == 50) loop using offset = 50
result.end();
});
});
}
req.end();
});
