$http.get(...).success is not a function

The .success syntax was correct up to Angular v1.4.3.

For versions up to Angular v.1.6, you have to use then method. The then() method takes two arguments: a success and an error callback which will be called with a response object.

Using the then() method, attach a callback function to the returned promise.

Something like this:

app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, $http){   $http({      method: 'GET',      url: 'api/url-api'   }).then(function (response){   },function (error){   });}

See reference here.

Shortcut methods are also available.

$http.get('api/url-api').then(successCallback, errorCallback);function successCallback(response){    //success code}function errorCallback(error){    //error code}

The data you get from the response is expected to be in JSON format.JSON is a great way of transporting data, and it is easy to use within AngularJS

The major difference between the 2 is that .then() call returns a promise (resolved with a value returned from a callback) while .success() is more traditional way of registering callbacks and doesn't return a promise.

This might be redundant but the above most voted answer says .then(function (success) and that didn't work for me as of Angular version 1.5.8. Instead use response then inside the block response.data got me my json data I was looking for.

$http({    method: 'get',     url: 'data/data.json'}).then(function (response) {    console.log(response, 'res');    data = response.data;},function (error){    console.log(error, 'can not get data.');});

If you are trying to use AngularJs 1.6.6 as of 21/10/2017 the following parameter works as .success and has been depleted. The .then() method takes two arguments: a response and an error callback which will be called with a response object.

 $scope.login = function () {        $scope.btntext = "Please wait...!";        $http({            method: "POST",            url: '/Home/userlogin', // link UserLogin with HomeController             data: $scope.user         }).then(function (response) {            console.log("Result value is : " + parseInt(response));            data = response.data;            $scope.btntext = 'Login';            if (data == 1) {                window.location.href = '/Home/dashboard';             }            else {            alert(data);        }        }, function (error) {        alert("Failed Login");        });

The above snipit works for a login page.
