So I have a set of code that can pull the whole external API with this code:
//endpoint that will fetch data from an external API
app.get("/externalapi", (req, res) => {
let apiURL = 'https://herokuapp.com/api/v1/data';
axios.get(apiURL)
.then(response => {
res.status(200).json(response.data);
})
.catch((err) => {
res.status(500).json({ message: err });
});
});
Part of the data that is generated via Postman is this (used as an example):
{
"data": [
{
"first_name": "Fiona",
"last_name": "Smith",
"phone_number": "987-3595-89",
"mental_health_referral": false,
"date_last_mental_health_referal": "02/09/2018T00:00:00.0000Z",
"legal_councel_referal": true,
"CHW_id": 6866318
},
{
"first_name": "Richard",
"last_name": "Stewart",
"phone_number": "281-0394-41",
"mental_health_referral": true,
"date_last_mental_health_referal": "03/23/2018T00:00:00.0000Z",
"legal_councel_referal": false,
"CHW_id": 9241074
},
{
"first_name": "Andrew",
"last_name": "Stevens",
"phone_number": "068-8173-37",
"mental_health_referral": true,
"date_last_mental_health_referal": "03/30/2018T00:00:00.0000Z",
"legal_councel_referal": true,
"CHW_id": 9241074
}
}
Now my goal is to generate only Fiona’s information, which is the first data. My outline for the URL is:
GET https://herokuapp.com/api/v1/data/{{first_name}}/{{last_name}}/{{phone_number}}
I have tried something like:
https://herokuapp.com/api/v1/data?first_name=Fiona&last_name=Smith&phone_number=987-3595-89
But I am not getting the result I want and when I run the get request on Postman, I still get all the results of the API. What am I missing?
