I am trying to make a basic GET request in flutter using http package. Although I tried it multiple times while debugging it does not work, meanwhile making the same http request in Postman DOES work. What could be the reason?
This is the method I am using. Debugger stops working before entering the "try" statement.
getCoordinatesFromPlaceId(String placeId) async {
var client = http.Client();
var url_coord =
'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?fields=geometry&place_id=$placeId&key=APIKEY';
var response = await client.get(
Uri.parse(url_coord),
headers: <String, String>{
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=UTF-8',
},
);
try {
var jsonResponse = json.decode(response.body);
} catch (e) {
print(e);
}
}
You can see the result in Postman:
static Future<dynamic?> getApiData() async {
String url='https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?fields=geometry&place_id=$placeId&key=APIKEY';
try {
var response = await http.get(
Uri.parse(url),
headers: <String, String>{
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=UTF-8',
},
);
if (response.statusCode == 200) {
var jsonResponse = json.decode(response.body);
} else {
return null;
}
} catch (e) {
return null;
}
}
