ECONNREFUSED, Node HTTP GET Request
Thanks to Mark B for catching the problem with the URL attribute. Here's the code that's working for me. I made one other small change adding to the http request headers.
var package = require('./package.json');
var myNewApi = require('./lib/my_new_api.js');
var http = require("http");
var https = require("https");
var str = '';
exports.handler = function (event, context) {
callback = function(response) {
response.on('data', function (chunk) {
str += chunk;
});
response.on('end', function () {
console.log(req.data);
console.log(str);
});
}
var options = {
host : 'neenahrockets.nationbuilder.com',
path: '/api/v1/people/count?access_token=*********',
json: true,
headers: {
"content-type": "application/json",
"accept": "application/json"
},
}
var req = https.get(options, callback)
};

I'm in a bit over my head trying to do a few things that are new to me. I'm building an API to interact with a Nationbuilder website using Node and AWS Lambda. I need to draw information from the database using Nationbuilder's API. I've tried a lot of variations in my code and this is my latest stripped-down attempt. It is returning "Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443". Does anyone see what I should be doing differently? I replaced the access token with ******. The exports handler function is barely being used; it connects with Lambda's main functionality of handling requests instead of making them.
I can successfully make a GET request through hurl.it, so the problem is on my end.
var package = require('./package.json'); var myNewApi = require('./lib/my_new_api.js'); var http = require("http"); var https = require("https"); var https = require('https'); var str = ''; var url = "https://neenahrockets.nationbuilder.com/api/v1/people/count?access_token=**************"; exports.handler = function (event, context) { callback = function(response) { response.on('data', function (chunk) { str += chunk; }); response.on('end', function () { console.log(req.data); console.log(str); }); } var options = { url : url, method: "GET", json: true, headers: { "content-type": "application/json", }, } var req = https.get(options, callback) };
