It was a problem with my json data... Its working fine now.

Sorry for another nubie question, but I cant seem to be able to call my jsreport from my web application. I must be missing something obvious. I go to the api tab under settings in the report studio and get the following:

http://localhost:5488/api/report
HEADERS:Content-Type: application/json
BODY:{"template":{"shortid":"By9NKNxzE"},"data":{"aProperty":"value"}}

I call my post as follows
'''

$.ajax({

            url: 'http://localhost:5488/api/report',             
            type: 'post',
            contentType: 'application/json',
            data: { "template": { "shortid": "By9NKNxzE" }, "data": { "orderID": orderID } },
            success: function (data) { }
        });

'''
I am getting only a 400 Not found error In fiddler...

What am I missing.

Thanks

Hell - im a newbe so please forgive my ignorance, but following all the examples i am trying to get API data as follows:

var request = require('request');
function  beforeRender(done){
    console.log('hello');
    request({
        url:"http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/receipts/1",
         method: "POST",
        json:true,
        headers: {'User-Agent':'Super Agent/0.0.1','content-type': 'application/json','Content-Length': 92},
      },function(err, response, body){
       
        console.log(body);
        request.data = {posts:body};
       console.log(request.data);
        done();
    })    
}

using the debug, i find that the script is being executed:

+0      Starting rendering request 26 (user: null)
+7      Rendering template { name: index, recipe: chrome-pdf, engine: handlebars, preview: true }
+13     Data item not defined for this template.

But my fiddler tells me the http request to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/receipts/1 is never made for some reason...

I'm banging my head on this one
