Tiny glitch project: https://glitch.com/edit/#!/discord-finder

I am trying to use this to make an API.

Going to e.g. https://discord-finder.glitch.me/api results in the error

Instead of showing the auto-generated docs as I'd expect.

I think the issue is that your package.json is referencing an old version of the json-api library (v2), whereas this example repo, and the docs on the main json-api repo, are based on v3. Try upgrading to the latest v3 release and lmk if that fixes it.

@ethanresnick What do I need to change "json-api": "^2.16.5"to?

I tried

$ npm install --save json-api@next
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for json-api@next
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.

So what should I change my package.json to?

ghost commented 6 years ago

I did npm install --save json-api@3.0.0-rc.4.0.1 and now it seems to work fine.

The package.json looks like

   "json-api": "^3.0.0-rc.4.0.1"
