Hi,
I've run into an issue on a project, or more likely hit my knowledge limit as not a dev and quite new to Xano.
We need to call an api to search available properties, where we can pass values such as date range, location and price etc.
The api call is authenticated, all works fine from that perspective however I'm having trouble dynamically populating the params.
A valid body looks like this (empty values are ok)
Param : [{
"from_date": "2024-08-10",
"to_date": "2024-08-24",
"destination_name": "Ibiza",
"min_bedrooms": "1",
"max_bedrooms": "4",
"search_term":"",
"from_date":"","to_date":""
}]
With the strings in quotations, in an object in an array.
Making the above call via postman returns correct results.
This is what I have tried;
Inputs are all text
I create an empty variable
I populate this array with the inputs
Then in the API call I set the body to 'param' and pass the array
The call is successful but as if no params are passed (all properties returned '317')
I create a results variable with the list of villa objects to pass back to the frontend, you can see the list of 317 in the results.
I've also try to skip the variable and set directly in the api call, same result. The params are showing the same as using the variable
However, if i simply paste in the json with the quotation marks, its works.
Can anyone tell me how to make my inputs work. correctly in the params and also if best practice would be to use a variable or to just set the params.
Thanks in advance!
