I'm trying to call an external API in Firebase Functions but i always get a timeout. What can be the issue causing this?
Here is my code
exports.getCountryData = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
const https = require('https');
const options = {
hostname: "api-football-v1.p.rapidapi.com/v3",
path: '/fixtures?next=5',
headers: {
"x-rapidapi-host": "api-football-v1.p.rapidapi.com/v3",
"x-rapidapi-key": "my-api-key"
}
};
var req = https.get(options, (resp) => {
let data = '';
resp.on('data', (chunk) => { data += chunk; });
resp.on('end', () => {
var result = JSON.parse(data);
console.log("Api fetched successfully");
console.log(result);
response.send({ fulfillmentText: result});
});
}).on("error", (err) => { console.log("Error: " + err.message); });
});
It turns out using their Rapid Api url (api-football-v1.p.rapidapi.com/v3) was was resulting in a timeout. Using a direct Api url (v3.football.api-sports.io) with their domain name in it did the trick for me.
Here is my working code.
exports.getCountryData = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
const https = require('https');
const options = {
hostname: "v3.football.api-sports.io",
path: '/fixtures?next=5',
headers: {
"x-rapidapi-host": "v3.football.api-sports.io",
"x-apisports-key": "my-api-key"
}
};
var req = https.get(options, (resp) => {
let data = '';
resp.on('data', (chunk) => { data += chunk; });
resp.on('end', () => {
var result = JSON.parse(data);
console.log("Api fetched successfully");
console.log(result);
response.send({ fulfillmentText: result});
});
}).on("error", (err) => { console.log("Error: " + err.message); });
});
