Dollar street activity not loading.

[AnandChourasia007]

On clicking on the dollar street activity icon, a new page begins loading. But the loading never completes and an error is logged in the console, 'HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE'.

However, the buttons 'filter by region' and 'see families' work perfectly fine.

Also, the slider boundary values in the 'filter by income' button are set to NaN.

@AnandChourasia007 hey, are you working on this issue?

@AnandChourasia007 Hmmm, you're right. I guess that something has changed in the API.

@AnandChourasia007 hey, are you working on this issue?

Umm, I cannot work on this for the next week at least(due to my mid semester exams). 😪
So feel free to try and fix it.

Yes @llaske when i backtrack this thing , i found api isn't working properly for this thing, there is an function inside apiref, which return NaN instead of number

@codebloded something similar happens last year (see here).
To fix it, the idea is to debug how the original website works and try to do the same.

The function returns NaN because the api used in Sugariser for this activity doesn't exist anymore. The new API will have to be integrated now I think.

Also, I couldn't find the API on their latest website.

@AnandChourasia007 There is no documentation about the API because it's not directly intended to be shared. To create the DollarStreet activity we've just done reverse engineering - with the authorization of Gapminder - on the current website to understand how it works.
So to fix the issue, the same work should be done/adapted.

Oh I see

Hi, I was debugging the dollar street activity I found that this API https://ds-dev.dollarstreet.org/dollar-street/v1/ is no longer exists, and this API is used to get street-settings, languages, region-filter and things-filter. The region and things filter can be done with this https://api.dollarstreet.org/v1/ API, while for settings and language we need to hard code the things.

[llaske]

Yes you're right the API https://ds-dev.dollarstreet.org/dollar-street/v1/ no longer work.

BTW I don't see any mention of https://api.dollarstreet.org/v1/ API call. It look like values for street-settings, languages, region-filter and things-filter are now directly included in the HTML page:

May be we could extract them manually (at first) to fix the issue?

[llaske]

Help is still wanted here.
