I am trying to hit a Railway API from firebase cloud function and it giving me the below error
I heard that request method doesn't work free plan, but its still not working even after I upgraded to pay as you go plan
// See https://github.com/dialogflow/dialogflow-fulfillment-nodejs // for Dialogflow fulfillment library docs, samples, and to report issues
'use strict';
var request = require('request');
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const {WebhookClient} = require('dialogflow-fulfillment');
const {Card, Suggestion} = require('dialogflow-fulfillment');
process.env.DEBUG = 'dialogflow:debug'; // enables lib debugging statements
exports.dialogflowFirebaseFulfillment = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
const agent = new WebhookClient({ request, response });
console.log('Dialogflow Request headers: ' + JSON.stringify(request.headers));
console.log('Dialogflow Request body: ' + JSON.stringify(request.body));
function fallback(agent) {
agent.add(`I didn't understand`);
agent.add(`I'm sorry, can you try again?`);
}
function welcome(agent) {
var options = {
url: 'http://api.railwayapi.com/v2/live/train/' + '17239' + '/date/' + '27-12-2018' + '/apikey/' + 'myjwjpywq4'
}
request(options, function (err, resp, body) {
console.log(body);
})
agent.add(`This message is from Dialogflow's Cloud Functions for Firebase editor!`);
agent.add(new Suggestion(`Quick Reply`));
agent.add(new Suggestion(`Suggestion`));
agent.setContext({ name: 'weather', lifespan: 2, parameters: { city: 'Rome' }});
}
let intentMap = new Map();
intentMap.set('Default Welcome Intent', welcome);
intentMap.set('Default Fallback Intent', fallback);
agent.handleRequest(intentMap);
});
Error:

You have two definitions for request
. Here's the first one:
var request = require('request');
Here's the second one, and it's masking the first one inside the body of your function:
exports.dialogflowFirebaseFulfillment = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
When you call request() inside the body of your function, JavaScript thinks you mean the innermost request
, which is the first argument passed to it. This is obviously not what you intended. At that point, request
is not a function.
Just give them different names so they don't collide with each other.
