Parsing API Key

[diegotco]

Hello, all:

How can I parse my API key in this code?

import got from 'got';

const {data} = await got.get('http://api.weatherstack.com/current', {
	json: {
		access_key: 'XXXXX....',
                 query: 'New York'
	}
}).json();

console.log(data);

Thanks in advance!

You're trying to make GET request with json body. To authenticate request for weatherstak, you need to pass your access_key as query parameter. For got its searchParams option:

import got from 'got';

const { data } = await got.get('http://api.weatherstack.com/current', {
	searchParams: {
		access_key: '***',
                query: 'New York'
	}
}).json();

console.log(data);

Nice, thank you very much. I was really confuse by the term search. I will deep dive more into it, thanks again for your help 🙌🏼

PD: I get the response by deleting those curly braces in data (const {data} =)
