javascript - First time using an API: How do I construct a request for the proper data from a quote API? Links included -


i using api stands4 quotes. able build random quote generator free code camp using random tag in request. want know how write request quote tv show personal project working on. know how possible?

here api doc: link

in particular looking @ second , third lines of request parameters table. want use 'search' don't know how produce correct 'query'. maybe going wrong.

here show quotes from: link

here tried. goal random quote show. 

http://www.stands4.com/services/v2/quotes.php?uid=myuid&tokenid=mytokenid&searchtype=random&search&query=its+always+sunny+in+philadelphia

unfortunately, these aren't greatest docs you'll have play around "query=" part of search. you're correct in thinking that's start.

here's approach take make work:

1. searchtype=search: start subbing in sorts of different things it's sunny , seeing gets returned, including: character names, show name, writer/actor names, , if else fails show objects ("paddy's pub" , "day man") come mind. note: things spaces make sure you're using url-encoding.

2. searchtype=author: take writer names , maybe character names see if putting in author search type returns anything.

3. use scripts api: i'd hope come that, if doesn't work, can try , find scripts scripts api , parse them.

if else fails can use scraping tool import.io , grab quotes site imdb. import.io free , easy use.

inversion of control - Autofac named registration constructor injection -

does autofac support specifying registration name in components' constructors? example: ninject's namedattribute . you need use autofac.extras.attributed package on top achieve this so let's have 1 interface , 2 classes: public interface ihello { string sayhello(); } public class englishhello : ihello { public string sayhello() { return "hello"; } } public class frenchhello : ihello { public string sayhello() { return "bonjour"; } } then have consumer class, in want select instance injected: public class helloconsumer { private readonly ihello helloservice; public helloconsumer([withkey("en")] ihello helloservice) { if (helloservice == null) { throw new argumentnullexception("helloservice"); } this.helloservice = helloservice; } public string sayhello() { return this.helloservice.sayhello()...

verilog - Systemverilog dynamic casting issues -

i've code snippet following in testbench function void write_to_port( my_data_type_base data ); my_data_type_extended data_ext; if(!$cast(data_ext, data)); `uvm_error(get_type_name(), "failed cast"); `uvm_info(get_name(), $psprintf("data_ext :\n%s", data_ext.sprint()), uvm_medium) // write data_ext out port.... endfunction when run it, i'm getting uvm_error "failed cast." i'm not quire sure why $cast not returning 1. can see, i'm printing out extended class data item after casting uvm_info. can see it's being cast properly. if don't use $cast if condition, don't runtime error. isn't coding practice use if dynamic cast check if $cast returning 1 ? what might reason behind cast not returning 1 in above case? i think semicolon on line 'if' not belong? i think consumes if statement, , uvm_error executes regardless of how if evaluates: if(!$cast(data_ext, data)); <- no semico...
