[LB6 Action] Wolfram Alpha Live Search

[ptujec]

Hi LB6 beta testers!

Can anybody fix this javascript to get live search going for Wolfram Alpha?

Code: Select all

function run(arguments) {
    var search = arguments[0];
    if (search == undefined || search.length == 0) {
        return [];
    }

    var result = HTTP.getJSON('http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/autocomplete.jsp?qr=' + encodeURIComponent(search), 3);

    if (result == undefined) {
        LaunchBar.log('HTTP.getJSON() returned undefined');
        return [];
    }
    if (result.error != undefined) {
        LaunchBar.log('Error in HTTP request: ' + result.error);
        return [];
    }

    try {
        var suggestions = [];
        for (var suggestion in result.data) {
            suggestions.push({
                             'title' : suggestion,
                             'icon' : 'walpha.png'
                             });
        }
        return suggestions;
    } catch (exception) {
        LaunchBar.log('Exception while parsing result: ' + exception);
        return [];
    }
}

This is what I get:

I have no Javascript knowledge. I just tried to modify the duden lbaction. But this is not Applescript ;)

So smart people please help!

The URL for the autocomplete is not correct. What happens when you change rule 7 to this?

Code: Select all

var result = HTTP.getJSON('http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/autocomplete.jsp?qr=0&i=' + encodeURIComponent(search), 3);

Because this URL outputs something: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/autoc ... qr=0&i=2*2, but the URL in the javascript just outputs null.

I've not tested it myself because honestly I'm too lazy now, but this is definitely part of the problem.

That didn't change much unfortunately

I will take a look at this on Monday. It should be possible to build a LB Action out of this, but it will be a bit more complicated than the Duden action.
Give me a few days...

Few days were not needed

Here is a WolframAlpha Action:
