IBM Watson Personality Insights Service : giving bad request as response

Question

I am using NodeJS SDK of watson to test Personality Insights Service but getting the following error:

> Error: { Bad Request: Invalid JSON input at line 1, column 2
>     at RequestWrapper.formatError (C:\Users\...\Desktop\..\..\ibm-analyser-cloud\node_modules\ibm-cloud-sdk-core\lib\request-wrapper.js:208:21)

Below is the code snippet I am using :

app.get("/personality-insights", function(req, res) {

    const personalityInsights = new PersonalityInsightsV3({
    version: '2017-10-13',
    authenticator: new IamAuthenticator({
      apikey: watsonKeyPersonalityInsights,
    }),
    url: watsonUrlPersonalityInsights,
  });

  let params = {
    content: "I am very happy today",
    content_type: 'text/plain',
    raw_scores: true,
    consumption_preferences: true
  };

    personalityInsights.profile(params, function(error, response) {
    if (error)
      console.log('Error:', error);
    else
      console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
    }
  );

});

this is a sample Node JS based snippet where I am providing the API credentials and the URL provided by the IBM cloud and making the request with a single line of input text. Everything seems correct but don't know why I am getting that error.

Answer 1

All the parameters were converted to lower camel case in v5. See the MIGRATION doc in the repo and the parameter details in the API reference

• contentType
• rawScores
• consumptionPreferences
