Use Request Module HTTP GET Firebase Function Node.js
I am using Firebase Cloud functions priced plan (!) for a webhook for google actions. I am trying to implement a HTTP GET with the request-module. I have installed the module with npm install request and deployed correctly. I want to use google maps distance-matrix api.
For some reasons I am not able to use the request module at all. In the log I neither see "ERROR in GET" nor "being SUCCESSFULL". Any idea what the issue might be?
// Handle the Dialogflow intent named 'Default Welcome Intent'.
app.intent('Default Welcome Intent', (conv) => {
var url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?units=imperial&origins=Washington,DC&destinations=New+York+City,NY&key=AIzaSyBich-7OBAxvtAwX5XnHQyJ7xZiJ8libVQ";
request({url: url, json: true}, (err, resp, body) => {
if (err) {
console.log('ERROR in GET');
conv.ask('ERROR in GET');
}
else {
conv.ask('beeing SUCCESSFULL');
console.log('beeing SUCCESSFULL');
}
})
Thank you in advance and best regards.

Here when you are doing async work inside handler function , you have to return a Promise that does that work , because otherwise there would be empty response and error. so
app.intent('Default Welcome Intent', (conv) => {
return Promise(function(resolve,reject){
request({url: url, json: true}, (err, resp, body) => {
if (err) {
console.log('ERROR in GET');
conv.ask('ERROR in GET');
}else {
conv.ask('beeing SUCCESSFULL');
console.log('beeing SUCCESSFULL');
}
resolve()
})
})
})
Hope this works for you.

I think found a solution. Apparently it seems to be not possible to use conv.ask() within a promise for some reason. It is necessary to pass an argument. The following code does work:
const p = new Promise(function(resolve,reject){
request({url: 'YOUR_URL',
json: true}, (err, resp, body) => {
if (err) {
// do not use conv.ask() here
resolve('no ok');
} else {
// do not use conv.ask() here
resolve('ok');
}
})
})
app.intent('Default Welcome Intent', (conv) => {
p.then(resp => conv.ask('resp'));
conv.ask('foobar');
})

well i have used the conv.ask inside promise and it works fine , but according to your code theDefault Welcome Intentwill always executeconv.ask('foobar');as it will be executed and program wont wait forp.then()to resolve , so it will work but your purpose wont be fulfilled as it will always display 'foobar'
