setting accept-language in header

Question

I am using an API and in the GET request it wants this:

Accept: application/json
Accept-Language: sv
From: [email protected]

My code looks like this:

var full_url = "http://api.arbetsformedlingen.se/af/v0/platsannonser/matchning?nyckelord=it";
$.ajax({
    typ: 'GET',
    url: full_url,
    dataType: 'json',
    headers: {
        Accept: 'application/json', 
        from: '[email protected]', 
        accept-language: 'sv'
    }
});

When I add the accept-language: sv I get this:

Unexpected token -

What am I doing wrong here? The API is saying that it needs to have those 3 parameters for it to work.

Solution

The issue is because you need to wrap the header names in quotes otherwise the - is interpreted by JS as a subtraction operator - hence why it is unexpected within the object. Try this:

headers: {
    'Accept': 'application/json', 
    'From': '[email protected]', 
    'Accept-Language': 'sv'
}
