3rd party API integration

I am trying to communicate with a 3rd party API. I wrote the API in python. I want to update the name column in the database from the Wix web page using a user form and text box. The database updates and all of the endpoints are responsive using postman to test. I think the problem resides in my JavaScript on the Wix end.

I modeled the JavaScript from the Wix example at:

I have a back end module called placeOrder stored in orderplaced.jsw that should post the variable ‘name’ to the api.

import { fetch } from ‘wix-fetch’;
// wix-fetch is the API we provide to make https calls in the backend

export function placeOrder(name) {
return fetch(“https://mysite.pythonanywhere.com/user”, {
method: ‘post’,
name: JSON.stringify({ name })

}).then(function (response) {
if (response.status >= 200 && response.status < 300){
console.log(JSON.stringify({ name }))
return response.text();}

console.log(Error(response.statusText))

return Error(response.statusText);}

);
}

The front end module waits for a button click and stores the text box in the name variable.

{
import {placeOrder} from ‘backend/orderplaced.jsw’;

export function button1_click(event, $w) {
placeOrder(
$w(“#input1”).value)

.then(function() {
console.log(“Form submitted to backend.”);
}
);
}
}

Output:

1059×510 99.5 KB

The code appears to be reaching the back end. I believe the problem is in my placeOrder function as I am not very familiar with JavaScript.

Hi

Worked fine (at least technically, response = 200) with a few changes.

export function placeOrder(name) {
 var body ={
 "name":name
    };
 return fetch("https://reliableeparts.pythonanywhere.com/user", {
 "method": "post",
 "body": JSON.stringify(body), "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json"}
 
        }).then(function (response) {

Worked great thank you.
