Response from API

Hi Tony,

You can certainly have full control over your response by manipulating the response built-in object using the methods described here: https://www.scriptr.io/documentation#documentation-response.

In your case, you need to call the response.setHeader(“Content-Type”, “application/json”) method to set the “Content-Type” to “application/json”. And you also need call the response.write() method to write your stringified JSON object to the response. Don’t forget to call response.close() when you’re done to flush the data to the response stream and close it.

This is how your script would look like:

var result = {
	"speech" : "Barack Hussein Obama II was the 44th and current President of the United States.",
	"displayText" : "Barack Hussein Obama II was the 44th and current President of the United States, and the first African American to hold the office. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where ",
	"data" : {
		"…" : "…"
	},
	"contextOut" : ["…"],
	"source" : "DuckDuckGo"
};
response.write(JSON.stringify(result));

// Set the "Content-Type" header value to "application/json"
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

// Whenever you manipulate the response object make sure to add your CORS settings to the header so that the script works when you're running it from within your scriptr.io Workspace
response.addHeaders(configuration.crossDomainHeaders);

response.close();

I hope this helps.
