API proxy plugin

The API proxy plugin provides methods for requesting data from the Meetup REST API using Queries. It provides two major features to a server.

1. a request.proxyApi(queries, activityInfo) method that will generate REST API requests for queries that are passed in as an argument
2. a route for HTTP requests from the application, which default to /mu_api.

request.proxyApi(queries, activityInfo)

• queries: Array<Query> - array of query objects to proxy
• activityInfo: { string: string } - map of Activity record data to record

Debugging API requests/responses

The server log will show data about the Meetup API requests it generates in response to incoming queries, although it will truncate the body of the response to 256 characters, which should be sufficient to see the cause of API errors:

2016-11-23 22:56:41.901, [request,api,info] data: {
  "request": {
    "query": {
      "id": "self"
    },
    "pathname": "/2/member/self",
    "method": "get"
  },
  "response": {
    "elapsedTime": 722,
    "body": "{\"service_status\":{\"status\":\"ok\"},\"org_badge\":false,\"categories\":[{\"id\":242,\"shortname\":\"outdoors-adventure\",\"name\":\"???chapter_meta_cat.outdoors-adventure.name???\",\"sort_name\":\"???chapter_meta_cat.outdoors-adventure.name???\",\"photo\":{\"id\":450131943,\"highr..."
  }
}

To see the full body of the response, you might be able to inspect network traffic using something like Charles proxy.
