Requesting data from inside of shows
This has been a problem I have been looking at for a long time and my
current solution is not elegant at all, so I am hoping that you all might
help.
I have a show and I would like to make a request to another API (from
another domain) from the show, which I would like combine that data and the
data from Couch into my response. This feels like it should be easy, but I
cannot find any examples of this happening.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Are you telling me that there was a design consideration to keep couch from
being used in a bad way?

security: potential botnets. your other option is to copy whatever api you
are hitting into couch ahead of time. I think philosophically couch is
designed to hold data and not access it through limited access APIs

All three.

I was afraid of that. Right now that is exactly what I am doing, but I hate
the idea of needing to move an application wherever I replicate the
database, which is one of the major reasons I choose Couch. Client site is
not an option due to choked mobile bandwidth, utter lack of information
without the external API.
Is there a reason for the no external request rule? Security, technology or
has it just not been a priority?
Thanks for the response,
Michael

CouchDB can't make requests to other domains from a show function. You will
have to put an application layer such as node.js, python flask or ruby
sinatra on top of Couch or do the request in client side javascript to
achieve what you are seeking.
