Flutter: JSON response incomplete

I'm trying to get weekly stock data from an API in Flutter. However, the response is cut off quite early. What am I missing?

static Future<List<StockWeek>> fetchAll() async {
    // creates: https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_WEEKLY&symbol=MSFT&apikey=demo
    var uri = Endpoint.uri('', queryParameters: { "function" : "TIME_SERIES_WEEKLY", "symbol" : "MSFT", "apikey" : "demo" });

    final resp = await http.get(uri.toString());

    if (resp.statusCode != 200) {
      throw (resp.body);
    }

    print(resp.body.toString());

    List<StockWeek> list = new List<StockWeek>();

    // parse JSON

    return list;
  }

What I'm getting at the time of the print statement is this:

I/flutter (19224): {
I/flutter (19224):     "Meta Data": {
I/flutter (19224):         "1. Information": "Weekly Prices (open, high, low, close) and Volumes",

I/flutter (19224):             "4.

It consistently stops at this point. As opposed to what the reply should look like:

https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_WEEKLY&symbol=MSFT&apikey=demo

Solution

  • This is just a logging issue when using print() with a lot of lines. Use debugPrint() from Flutter’s foundation library instead as recommended here.

    import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart'; 

static Future<List<StockWeek>> fetchAll() async {
    // creates: https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_WEEKLY&symbol=MSFT&apikey=demo
    var uri = Endpoint.uri('', queryParameters: { "function" : "TIME_SERIES_WEEKLY", "symbol" : "MSFT", "apikey" : "demo" });

    final resp = await http.get(uri.toString());

    if (resp.statusCode != 200) {
      throw (resp.body);
    }

    debugPrint(resp.body.toString());

    List<StockWeek> list = new List<StockWeek>();

    // parse JSON

    return list;   
}
