CountryAPI | A Rest Api of simple country information | REST library

There are a bunch issues going on here.

When looping through an array, using the syntax x of array gives you the keys, while x in array gives you the values. To avoid confusion, it may be better to use a specialized function like array.forEach().

When dealing with array keys which are numbers, typescript sees them as string. When dealing with the keys of an IHemisphere typescript still gives us string instead of the literals 'north' and 'south'.

The type for the keys north and south in IHemisphere is an object with string keys and object values. But they type for unknown keys as described by your index signature is just object.

Here is one possible solution. I switched country in to country of to address #1, added the assertion hemisphere as keyof IHemisphere to fix #2, and removed the top-level index signature from IHemisphere to fix #3.

One easy way is to create a dummy Country object at beginning and add to array whose name is Select Country and fill other dummy details which you might be needing and while tapping on any form button (assuming you have one) you can check the current selected index and if it is 0 then no country is selected. In that case you can show a Toast.

For example here is your updated try catch block:

Add this to the beginning of the script:

From the docs:

The source code must be written in the languages that are supported by the following script engines:

• Mozilla Rhino, version 1.6 release 2
• Jython, version 2.5.2

Your first snippet looks like Jython. The second looks like Javascript (Rhino).

Not sure what Client API you are using that cannot simply provide entity of desired type. Most clients should have utility methods to do such conversion. Anyways, here's a way you can achieve what you want:

I'm hitting the NASA API from the url that you have used and there is no key called 'movies' in the response. You are trying to access the movies key from the NASA API response which doesn't exist which is why you are probably getting the error.

Try to use this

As regards getting the specific country's name, you need to make a get request with the country name such as:

http://countryapi.gear.host/v1/Country/getCountries?pName=Australia

The response from this request: { "IsSuccess": true, "UserMessage": null, "TechnicalMessage": null, "TotalCount": 1, "Response": [ { "Name": "Australia", "Alpha2Code": "AU", "Alpha3Code": "AUS", "NativeName": "Australia", "Region": "Oceania", "SubRegion": "Australia and New Zealand", "Latitude": "-27", "Longitude": "133", "Area": 7692024, "NumericCode": 36, "NativeLanguage": "eng", "CurrencyCode": "AUD", "CurrencyName": "Australian dollar", "CurrencySymbol": "$", "Flag": "https://api.backendless.com/2F26DFBF-433C-51CC-FF56-830CEA93BF00/473FB5A9-D20E-8D3E-FF01-E93D9D780A00/files/CountryFlags/aus.svg", "FlagPng": "https://api.backendless.com/2F26DFBF-433C-51CC-FF56-830CEA93BF00/473FB5A9-D20E-8D3E-FF01-E93D9D780A00/files/CountryFlagsPng/aus.png" } ] }

You can access NativeName and region by:

data.Response[0].NativeName and data.Response[0].Region respectively.

Since the data returned from the API is always a JSON string, dont forget to parse the string before use.

I am not a java developer but I have dealt with a lot of JSON data, Also C# and TypeScript projects. First, you should take a look at this line: request.addHeader("accept", "application/fson");

Am afraid this is not a valid JSON request header and if we where to start debugging your code, it would be difficult to pinpoint where the problem lies if the basis of the whole request is faulty. Please correct to: request.addHeader("accept", "application/json"); and try again, if you have the same result, we can continue debugging from there.
