I’m in point number 7:
“Add a body property that will contain the data to send to the Google URL Shortener API. The data object is {longUrl: urlToShorten} and this data should be passed to JSON.stringify() as an argument. Check the hint if you aren’t sure how to structure this.”
It doesn’t compile. No error apppears, even if I have used the mentioned code like in other episodes.
async function shortenUrl(){
const urlToShorten = $inputField.val();
const urlWithKey = url + '?key=' + apiKey;
try {
let response = await fetch(urlWithKey,{
method:'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({longUrl: urlToShorten})
})
catch(error){
console.log(error)
}
}
I suppose I am doing something wrong, but I can not see what it is.

epangar:
‘?key=’
Is this the first query parameter in the list? If not, it should be preceded by an ampersand, not a question mark.
Belay the above. I’ve reached that lesson now and passed step 7.
async function shortenUrl() {
const urlToShorten = $inputField.val();
const urlWithKey = url + '?key=' + apiKey;
try {
let response = await fetch(urlWithKey, {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({longUrl: urlToShorten})
});
}
catch(error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
As we can see, you are missing the closing curly brace before the catch()
statement.

It was the curly brace. Thank you!
