Error when connecting to REST API with Alteryx Designer

[jieunlee]

Hi Everyone,

When I get data using Naver API with download tool, it errors like {"errMsg":"SyntaxError: Unexpected token s","errId":"2020-09-17T17:32:51+09:00/309635588-906718936","body":"startDate=2017-01-01&endDate=2017-04-30&timeUnit=month&keywordGroups=employment&keywordGroups.groupName=employment&keywordGroups.keywords=employment"}. 

Continuosly occurs SyntaxError : Unexpected token s

Does anyone know how can i fix it?

Refer to Naver API Developers center I put variables, url, headers, payload but don't know how to do it.

Thank you,

Jieun

Hi @jieunlee 

You can take a look at this partner tool, it works quite well for accessing API's and adding the data into a Designer workflow via a macro as tables.

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Analytics/Precog-Alteryx-A-Slam-Dunk-Analytics-Partnership/ba-p/465...

Just a note, the post mentions a free version, we don't offer that any longer, but we can provide trial.

Hope it helps

Hi @jieunlee ,

I am pleased to announce that I have successfully built the Naver Search API macro, downloadable from the Alteryx Public Gallery here: https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/Naver-Search-API/5f6771da0462d7063cdb503d

Your workflow should look something like the pic that has been attached, where the JSON_Name & JSON_ValueString contains the relevant Search information that's returned from your query (e.g. ProductID, Price, Mall Name etc).

Hope this helps! 🙂
