[TechCorner Challenge #10] Sending HTTP requests and parsing JSON in TestComplete

Task: Create a script in TestComplete that will get an image link from this API endpoint (https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random) and save the image on the machine. Post your script and the image you got to the comments!

Hi Sonya,

I'd do it like this.

function getThisDog(https) {
  var aqHttpRequest = aqHttp.CreateGetRequest(https);
  
  aqHttpRequest.SetHeader("Accept", "application/vnd.api+json; version=1");
  aqHttpRequest.SetHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8");
  aqHttpRequest.SetHeader("Accept-Language", "pl");
  aqHttpRequest.SetHeader("Accept-Charset", "utf-8, iso-8859-13;q=0.8");
  aqHttpRequest.SetHeader("Content-Language", "pl");

  var aqHttpRes = aqHttpRequest.Send();  
  Log.Message(aqHttpRes.Text);
  return aqHttpRes;
}

function parseThisDog() {
  let jsonResponse = getThisDog("https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random");
  
  if(jsonResponse.StatusCode === 200) {
    let doggyJson = JSON.parse(jsonResponse.Text);

    let dogImage = getThisDog(doggyJson.message);
    let randomString = Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15) + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15);
    dogImage.SaveToFile("C:\\TEST-TRASH\\" + randomString + "dog.jpg");

  } else {
    Log.Error("Something went wrong while trying to connect")
  }
  
}
