Making http request to Google API with node.js

Question

Making http request to Google API with node.js

I'm trying to make a request to the Google Analytics API. I'm using Passport.js to authorize the user and this library to make requests.

I get a nice repsonse from Google but my problem is that the request keeps on going until it times out even after I've received the repsonse. The request keeps un running until I get a time out.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is my code:

request('https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/management/accounts?access_token=' + access_token,  function (error, response, body) {
    if(error){
      console.log(error);
    }else{
      console.log(repsonse);
    }
});

javascript
node.js
express
google-api

You're probably not just returning something from the HTTP GET call you're doing. That's why it times out.

You need to send back a HTTP 200 if error does not eval to true, e.g.:

res.send();
