I'm trying to extend my Discord Bot with different commands which retrieves a JSON from an API. It worked for the first few like:
case 'results':
request('http://ergast.com/api/f1/'+args[2]+'/'+args[3]+'/results.json', (error, response, body) => {
if(error) {msg.reply(error); }
const temp = JSON.parse(body);
let answer = '';
try {
for(var i = 0; i < temp.MRData.RaceTable.Races[0].Results.length; i++) {
answer += (i+1)+'. '
+ temp.MRData.RaceTable.Races[0].Results[i].Driver.givenName +' '
+ temp.MRData.RaceTable.Races[0].Results[i].Driver.familyName + ', '
+ temp.MRData.RaceTable.Races[0].Results[i].Constructor.name + '\n';
}
}catch(error) {
console.log(error);
answer = 'Choose earlier race, no results in yet';
}
msg.reply(answer);
});
break;
So that was working, nice. When I try to get other values from another API-call (Driver Standings for f1 seasons), I'm running into following logs on my Heroku Deployed Discordbot:

My faulty code is following, where the logs say, that Standingslist(?) is undefined, even though it can be seen in the http response? Faulty code:
case 'driverstandings':
request('http://ergast.com/api/f1/'+args[2]+'/driverStandings.json', (error, response, body) => {
if(error) {msg.reply(error); }
const temp = JSON.parse(body);
let answer = 'Season: ' + temp.MRData.StandingsTable.StandingsList[0].round;
try {
for(var i = 0; i < temp.MRData.StandingsTable.StandingsList[0].DriverStandings.length; i++) {
answer += (i+1)+'. '
+ temp.MRData.StandingsTable.StandingsList[0].DriverStandings[i].Driver.givenName +' '
+ temp.MRData.StandingsTable.StandingsList[0].DriverStandings[i].Driver.familyName + ', '
+ temp.MRData.StandingsTable.StandingsList[0].DriverStandings[i].points +' points, wins: '
+ temp.MRData.StandingsTable.StandingsList[0].DriverStandings[i].wins +'\n';
}
}catch(error) {
console.log(error);
answer = 'No entries';
}
msg.reply(answer);
});
break;
Syntax-wise, I just can't figure out my error.
The JSON is structured as following: json structure screenshot
API for json is: JSON
i didnt tried you code, bit it seems it should be Standingslists and not Standingslist. Can you try it?
