Parse JSON Error

Hi All,

 

I'm having a few issues with parsing a JSON response from a HTTP call.

I receive the JSON response and I try to parse this response, I am having trouble extracting the data I need from the response.

 

Example Response:

 

{
    "results": {
        "timesheets": {
            "153480": {
                "id"153480,
                "user_id"76985,
                "jobcode_id"863233,
                "start""",
                "end""",
                "duration"25200,
                "date""2020-04-06",
                "tz"12,

                "type""manual",
                "location""TSheets web",

                "locked"0,
                "notes""",
                "last_modified""2020-04-13T23:45:22+00:00",
                "customfields""",
                "attached_files": [],
                "created_by_user_id"74317
            },
            "153482": {
                "id"153482,
                "user_id"76985,
                "jobcode_id"863233,
                "start""",
                "end""",

I need to iterate through the response and get the number value where all the data is:
E.g. Data I need:
   "153484": {
                "id"
The number value and the ID for each response, my flow is below. Any help appreciated:

Hi @thomas1992UK ,

 

Unfortunately, I am not able to provide a suitable method to extract the data from this response temporarily.

Because the object name is not fixed, so we could not get the property value by using the object name.

Do you have any other methods to get the id?

I have bad news, I am afraid. We discussed a similar topic some weeks ago, but found no way to fix it so far but to redesign the source data model

Let's hope this time somebody else can point us in the right direction

Did I make your day? If so, mark my response as 'Solution' !!!

Hi @thomas1992UK ,

 

It seems that it is difficult to extract the data you need through Parse JSON.

 

First of all, timesheets is not an array, it is an object, so we cannot traverse it by Apply to each,

 

Second, the name of the object contained in timesheets is not fixed, which also prevents us from obtaining the object value through the object name.

 

If you can get the id first by other methods, maybe we can also extract the data by id, but it seems that your current need is to get the id.

Hi Barry,

 

Could you help me with the following:

 

Split the output in to sections - e.g get the output like the below.

                 "id"153482,
                "user_id"76985,
                "jobcode_id"863233,
                "start""",
                "end""",
                "duration"18000,
                "date""2020-04-07",
                "tz"12,
                "tz_str""Pacific/Auckland",
                "type""manual",
                "location""TSheets web",
                "on_the_clock"false,
                "locked"0,
                "notes""",
                "last_modified""2020-04-13T23:45:50+00:00",
                "customfields""",
                "attached_files": [],
                "created_by_user_id"74317
 
Get the "id" and "duration" for each section?
