I'm currently having some problems to shorten a URL with the Google URL shortener. I'm using CoffeeScript but the generated code seems good. Here is what I do: <pre><code>shortenUrl = (longUrl) -> $.ajax( type: 'POST' url: "https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=myAPIkey" data: longUrl: longUrl dataType: 'json' success: (response) -> console.log response.data contentType: 'application/json' ); </code></pre> The generated code is: <pre><code>shortenUrl = function(longUrl) { return $.ajax(console.log({ longUrl: longUrl }), { type: 'POST', url: "https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=myAPIkey", data: { longUrl: longUrl }, dataType: 'json', success: function(response) { return console.log(response.data); }, contentType: 'application/json' }); </code></pre> }; Here is the error I get in the JS Chrome console : <pre><code>POST https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=myAPIkey 400 (Bad Request) </code></pre> (precisely, there is apparently a Parse error) Note that, when I execute a curl request like this : <pre><code>curl https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=myAPIkey \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{longUrl: "http://www.google.com/"}' </code></pre> It works like a charm. And I get : <pre><code>{ "kind": "urlshortener#url", "id": "http://goo.gl/fbsS", "longUrl": "http://www.google.com/" } </code></pre> So, what's wrong with this jQuery ? (I'm using version 1.9.x) EDIT: Here is the correct way to do it with jQuery : <pre><code>shortenUrl = function(longUrl) { return $.ajax(console.log({ longUrl: longUrl }), { type: 'POST', url: "https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=myAPIkey", data: '{ longUrl: longUrl }', // <-- string here dataType: 'json', success: function(response) { return console.log(response.data); }, contentType: 'application/json' }); }; </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
