Zomato Custom Web App using PowerShell and Node JS

A friend asked me a demo to use iFrame in PUG file. To make the session short I used zomato widgets code and very little of PowerShell scripts. All I used is Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet to retrieve information. This is just a start – so all we have is a Zomato API and

With no wait let us explore the solution. First and foremost get the API Credentials – I opted for free through which I can use 1000 calls per day and placed the key in config.xml file (For Demo). Using the below snippet

$Key = [xml](Get-Content .\config.xml)
$Header = @{
    'User-Key' = $Key.production.key
}
$r = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "https://developers.zomato.com/api/v2.1/categories" -Headers $Header
$r.categories.categories

$Key = [xml](Get-Content .\config.xml)

$Header = @{

'User-Key' = $Key.production.key

}

$r = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "https://developers.zomato.com/api/v2.1/categories" -Headers $Header

$r.categories.categories

we get the illustrated output

Okay, I need to show something fancy right? And for that I didn’t do much coding,. instead I grabbed the widget and used the iFrame element. GO GET YOURS (Zomato Widgets)

Excited to see the output? Okay, here is a sneak peak!

Cool Right? Thats an example to use the iFrame! Now, let’s come to PowerShell and Query Categories and City Information.

Get Categories

$Key = [xml](Get-Content .\config.xml)
$Header = @{
    'User-Key' = $Key.production.key
}
$r = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "https://developers.zomato.com/api/v2.1/categories" -Headers $Header
$r.categories.categories

$Key = [xml](Get-Content .\config.xml)

$Header = @{

'User-Key' = $Key.production.key

}

$r = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "https://developers.zomato.com/api/v2.1/categories" -Headers $Header

$r.categories.categories

Get City Information

param (
    $CityName
)
$Key = [xml](Get-Content .\config.xml)
$Header = @{
    'User-Key' = $Key.production.key
}
$r = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "https://developers.zomato.com/api/v2.1/cities?q=$($CityName)" -Headers $Header
$r.location_suggestions

param (

$CityName

)

$Key = [xml](Get-Content .\config.xml)

$Header = @{

'User-Key' = $Key.production.key

}

$r = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "https://developers.zomato.com/api/v2.1/cities?q=$($CityName)" -Headers $Header

$r.location_suggestions

Let me show you how to search by city and showcase the country flag
