Failed parsing JSON input about deprecated-dataapis HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi there @mjdguyler , sorry to hear you are encountering issues with the provided code. Would you be able to provide some more information? Here are a couple of different options that would make it much easier for us to help get you up and running:

1. The full api url that is being hit along with the parameters (you should be able to find this in chrome debug tools under the network tab)
2. A hosted url to your project so that we can debug ourselves
3. An exported .har file from chrome for the API request (see attached screenshot)
   

Hopefully we can help you get you back up and running!

from deprecated-dataapis.

Parameters:
parameters:
"{"Normalized":false,"NumberOfDays":3650,"DataPeriod":"Day","Elements":[{"Symbol":"APPL","Type":"price","Params":["ohlc"]},{"Symbol":"APPL","Type":"volume"}]}"
URL:
url: "http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/InteractiveChart/jsonp",

Attached is the HAR.

The website cannot be attached as it is running on localhost. I downloaded
the code as you had it on GitHub and added inside my .js file a call to
give parameters and make the new Markit.InteractiveChartApi like in the
demo.

@mjdguyler It doesn't look like the entire har was attached can you instead try copying the full url using google chrome. I'm using http://markitondemand.github.io/DataApis/InteractiveChartSample/ as an example:

The full url should look like this...

@mjdguyler I am almost at a loss. I checked the API code and nothing seems to be out of the ordinary, but your URL does return an error. What's stranger still is that I took the parameters from my url, replaced the parameters in yours for reference, and it works! They look the same, but I'm wondering if there is some weird encoding in the string somewhere. Even after changing your callback value to my callback value yours still failed. I've gotten to the point where I think it might be some type of encoding issue with your page. Is your page in UTF8?

Check out these example urls for reference:

Works

http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/InteractiveChart/jsonp?callback=jQuery1102006651935772970319_1432145887816&parameters={%22Normalized%22:false,%22NumberOfDays%22:3650,%22DataPeriod%22:%22Day%22,%22Elements%22:[{%22Symbol%22:%22AAPL%22,%22Type%22:%22price%22,%22Params%22:[%22ohlc%22]},{%22Symbol%22:%22AAPL%22,%22Type%22:%22volume%22}]}

Doesn't Work

http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/InteractiveChart/jsonp?callback=jQuery1102006651935772970319_1432145887816&parameters={%22Normalized%22:false,%22NumberOfDays%22:3650,%22DataPeriod%22:%22Day%22,%22Elements%22:[{%22Symbol%22:%22APPL%22,%22Type%22:%22price%22,%22Params%22:[%22ohlc%22]},{%22Symbol%22:%22APPL%22,%22Type%22:%22volume%22}]}

As you can see the urls appear to be identical, but the second url was constructed using your url example.

@brianbaker , @timburcham can someone sanity check me here?

from deprecated-dataapis.

The working example uses AAPL, which is Apple. The non-working example uses APPL, which is Pete Appel Corp, a delisted OTC stock. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?uhb=uh3_finance_vert&fr=&type=2button&s=appl

If you switch your example to AAPL, in both places, it should work.

Nice brainteaser, by the way. :)

@mjdguyler , if you can drop some line numbers to where you found this originally, we will work to correct any error in the documentation.

Thanks for your help, I had thought I typed that in correctly.

@timburcham I, no joke, had three developers look at that before I added that reply. Now that you pointed it out it's so obvious it hurts. Good spot Tim!
