API to Google sheets - unable to fetch data - google-apps-script

Question

I am trying to fetch data via API to Google sheets, I am able to get "NewConfirmed" and other few fields but not able to get "Countries" data. Please help.
function Covid19() {
// Call the COVID19 API
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://api.covid19api.com/summary");
// Parse the JSON reply
var json=response.getContentText();
var data=JSON.parse(json);
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var i = 2;
for each (var info in data)
{
sheet.getRange(i,1).setValue([info['NewConfirmed']]);
sheet.getRange(i,2).setValue([info['Country']]);
i = i + 1;
}

Answer 1

If you log data, you will see
{Countries=[{CountryCode=AX, TotalRecovered=0.0, NewDeaths=0.0,
Slug=ala-aland-islands, Country=ALA Aland Islands, NewRecovered=0.0,
Date=2020-04-21T12:32:01Z, NewConfirmed=0.0, ...
Thus, in order to retrieve Country and NewConfirmed you need to define
var data=JSON.parse(json).Countries and then you have to iterate through all entries within a loop.
Sample based on your code:
function Covid19() {
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://api.covid19api.com/summary");
var json=response.getContentText();
var data=JSON.parse(json).Countries;
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
{
sheet.getRange(i+2,1).setValue([data[i]['NewConfirmed']]);
sheet.getRange(i+2,2).setValue([data[i]['Country']]);
}
}
Sidenote:
It is ot good practive to use getRange(...).setValue(..) during each
loop iteration. It would be better to write the data into an array and
assign the array with all the data to the sheet after finishing
iteration.
