HTTP Service Get Webhook does not receive queryString

Hi,

I’m new to MongoDB and have been working through the below example with AppGyver.
[Realm Serverless Platform Integration with No-Code Composer from AppGyver | MongoDB](Realm Serverless platform integration with No-Code Composer from AppGyver - By Pavel Duchovny and Harri Sarsa)

Everything has gone great, except when I got to the section to get a list of movies using the GetMovies webhook. The sample code as documented is below…

    /*
   This API searches movies from db("sample_mflix").collection("movies") using Atlas Search aggregation
*/
exports = async function(payload, response) {

 // Extract, the search query param
 const {Search} = payload.query;
 var filter;

 // Get the collection object
 const movies = await context.services.get("mongodb-atlas").db("sample_mflix").collection("movies");
 var doc = [];

    console.log(`ID ${Search}`);
    // If Search term is not empty use atlas search $search operator
    if (Search !== "")
    {
      filter = [{
          '$search': {
            'text': {
              'path': ['title', 'plot','fullplot','generes'],
              'query': Search,
              'fuzzy': {}
            }
        }
      },{"$limit" : 100}];
       doc = await movies.aggregate(filter).toArray();
    }
    else
    {
       // If no Search term provided return first found 100 results
       doc = await movies.aggregate([{"$limit" : 100}]).toArray();
    }

    // Return the found documents through the response object
    response.setBody(JSON.stringify(doc));
    response.setStatusCode(200);

};

The problem I am having is that payload.query always is an empty string - so nothing is returned.

I have been using Postman to call the webhook, to remove AppGyver from the equation and the result returned is always an empty array .

This is the request I make…
https://ap-southeast-2.aws.webhooks.mongodb-realm.com/api/client/v2.0/app/moviesapp-zcjuo/service/MoviesAPI/incoming_webhook/GetMovies?Search=Horse

I’ve done a fair bit of reading, but can’t figure out why it’s not working.

This is the log output.

It may be that MongoDB Realm has changed which is why the code doesn’t work, as this article was written about a year ago now.

If anyone can see the issue, I’d love to know. Being able to return a set of results is a pretty fundamental requirement to my (or any) app!

Thanks

Hi @Jason_Nutt and @KapaiNZ ,

I understand the issue of the article. I missed the section of adding a search index for this to work.

Thanks
Pavel
