For Example I have subscribed to one free and public API called "https://rapidapi.com/rapidapi/api/movie-database-imdb-alternative"
whose java code snippets are as folows
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url("https://movie-database-imdb-alternative.p.rapidapi.com/?s=Avengers%20Endgame&r=json&page=1")
.get()
.addHeader("x-rapidapi-host", "movie-database-imdb-alternative.p.rapidapi.com")
.addHeader("x-rapidapi-key", "my recieved API Key")
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
Now my query is How to use in the flutter application and call? And what url to Call and details on headers required if I want to show the Movie Name by using "Get BY ID or Title "
My flutter code is as follows
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
class APIService {
// API key
// Base API url
static const String _baseUrl = "https://movie-database-imdb-alternative.p.rapidapi.com/?s=Avengers%20Endgame&r=json&page=1";
// Base headers for Response url
static const Map<String, String> _headers = {
"x-rapidapi-key": "*****************",
"x-rapidapi-host": "movie-database-imdb-alternative.p.rapidapi.com",
};
// Base API request to get response
Future<dynamic> get() async {
Uri uri = Uri.https(_baseUrl,"");
final response = await http.get(uri, headers: _headers);
if (response.statusCode == 200) {
// If server returns an OK response, parse the JSON.
print("success");
return json.decode(response.body);
} else {
print("not success");
// If that response was not OK, throw an error.
throw Exception('Failed to load json data');
}
}
}
I want to show the images and text from API in the flutter application by calling the API
Note :Already subscribed to the above API and I have recieved the key etc.
Here's the complete example. You have to fudge it to put in the actual JSON query results:
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
// This widget is the root of your application.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
title: 'API Call Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.orange,
),
initialRoute: '/',
onGenerateRoute: (settings) => onGenerateRoute(settings),
onUnknownRoute: pageNotImplementedRoute,
);
}
Route? onGenerateRoute(RouteSettings settings) {
switch (settings.name) {
case '/':
return MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => const MyHomePage(),
);
case '/api_page':
return MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => const MyAPIPage(),
);
default:
return null;
}
}
Route pageNotImplementedRoute(RouteSettings settings) {
return MaterialPageRoute<void>(
