How can I retrieve json data in .json file from API get query of product?
Example: https://api.abcd.com/v1/products/search.json?q=ball
header[key=abc, value=xyz]
From get query fetch json data from postman like
{
"Results": [
{
"Id": 5481192,
"Name": " Shirt",
"Description": " tweens. 100% Cotton.",
"ShortDescription": " Raglan Shirt",
"Number": "4253121",
"ImageUrl": "media/295428",
"VirtualSampleImages": [
{
"Id": 2245428,
"ImageUrl": "virtualsample/2529548"
}
],

"$index": 1
}
},

"Quantity": 11,
"Price": 133.7,
"Cost": 61.85,
"DiscountCode": "P",
"CurrencyCode": "USD"
},
"IsNew": false,
"IsConfirmed": false,
"HasVirtualSample": true
}
],
"Selections": {},
"Dimensions": {},
"Links": {
"Self": "?q=shirts&page=1&rpp=1",
"Next": "?q=shirts&page=2&rpp=1"
},
"Query": "shirts",
"Breadcrumb": "\"shirts\"",
"Page": 1,
"ResultsPerPage": 21,
"ResultsTotal": 78,
"SuppliersTotal": 6677,
"CompletedIn": 7
}
I want to save the json data to .json file (automatically) after that to MySQL database with individual columns.
You can simply use curl for the save-to-file process.
curl 'https://api.abcd.com/v1/products/search.json?q=ball' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*' -H 'key: abc' -H 'value: xyz' -o dump.json
Then, you can load this file into table with LOAD_FILE :
INSERT INTO table_name (STAMP,file_content) VALUES(NOW(),LOAD_FILE("dump.json"));
The whole process depends on you scripting/programming language. Can you tell us more about your technical context ?
$curl = curl_init();
$options=array(CURLOPT_URL=>"http://api.abc.com/v1/products/search.json?q=ball",CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER =>true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING =>"",CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION =>true,CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT=>30,CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION=>CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET", CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS=>"",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER=> array("authorization: AsiMemberAuth client_id=50041351&client_secret=55700485cc39f1",
"cache-control: no-cache"), CURLOPT_HEADER=> true);
curl_setopt_array($curl, $options);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($err)
{
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
}
else
{
echo $response;
}

I am trying to run a test suit in post man by json file upload, and executing test cases by .xl file upload.
my test.json file look like below,
{
"info": {
"_postman_id": "af0ea50c-4264-41a6-ac2c-bcacbf966394",
"name": "CCAPI TEST",

"\r",
"console.log(\"expected_response:\"+expected_response + \" ->responseBody:\"+responseBody);\r",
"pm.test(\"Body matches string\", function () {\r",
" pm.expect(responseBody).to.include(expected_response);\r",
"}); "
],
"type": "text/javascript"
}
}
],
"request": {
"method": "POST",
"header": [
"Accept":"application/json",
"Content-Type":"application/json"
],
"body": {
"mode": "raw",
"raw": ""
},

"host": [
"{{ip_port}}"
],
"path": [
"CCAPI",
"subscription"
],
}
},
"response": []
}
]
}
In postman I am passing below data in body,
{
"name":"abc",
"number":"919876567876",
"value":"ENABLE"
}
POSTMAN RESPONSE:
{
"description":"successfully added",
"status":"success"
}
I want to pass the same to the json file, I am not getting where should I add this,
for result once the test is created after uploading the file, I click on run , there I will upload the .xl file, from there It has to check for the output of the api is matching or not
.xl file contents :
name number value expected_response
abc 988988999 ENABLE {"description":"successfully
added","status":"success"}
I am not getting where to add the body of the json REQ in the .json file
If anyone tried running test suite in postman tool who knows this reply
I have read properties with jq from a json object and have stored them to variables.
I want to now read these variables and essentially find and replace a word inside the string with a global shell variable.
I've set my json ID's from my JSON file
# Set Json ID's
TARGET_ID=$(jq '.DefaultCacheBehavior.TargetOriginId' distconfig.json)
DOMAIN_NAME=$(jq '.Origins.Items[0].DomainName' distconfig.json)
ORIGIN_ID=$(jq '.Origins.Items[0].Id' distconfig.json)
echo "$TARGET_ID"
echo "$DOMAIN_NAME"
echo "$ORIGIN_ID"
This returns
"S3-Website-stag4.example.io.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
"stag4.example.io.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
"S3-Website-stag4.example.io.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
I have my location id variable and would like to write it to find and replace all stag4 references in those 3 ID's.
Then I would like to write those 3 ID's to the initial json object, or create a temp version of it.
Example, if:
$DOMAIN_NAME is"stag4.example.io.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
I would like to essentially have it set to:
$LOCATION_NAME="stag6"
DOMAIN_LOCATION="example.io"
"$DOMAIN_NAME=S3-Website-\$LOCATION_NAME\.example.io.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
"$TARGET_ID=\$LOCATION_NAME\.example.io.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
"$ORIGIN_ID=S3-Website-\$LOCATION_NAME\.example.io.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
Then write those 3 to the temp or new json file so I can run my cloudformation command:
aws cloudfront create-distribution --distribution-config file://disttemp.json
I have now built out the proper variables from the initial json file like so:
$LOCATION_NAME="stag6"
DOMAIN_LOCATION="example.io"
echo "Build New IDs"
TARGET_ID_BUILT="S3-Website-$LOCATION_NAME.$DOMAIN_LOCATION.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
DOMAIN_NAME_BUILT="$LOCATION_NAME.$DOMAIN_LOCATION.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
ORIGIN_ID_BUILT="S3-Website-$LOCATION_NAME.$DOMAIN_LOCATION.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com"
echo "$TARGET_ID_BUILT"
echo "$DOMAIN_NAME_BUILT"
echo "$ORIGIN_ID_BUILT"
How do I write these variables to the json file with jq?

You should use sed to do the substitution and then inject the value back into the JSON.
echo $TARGET_ID | sed 's/stag4/stag5/g'
Outputs
S3-Website-stag5.example.io.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com
Next we'll put the value back into the original JSON, this will technically output a new JSON and does not edit the file, however, you can easily solve for this on the output by temporarily saving to a tmp file.
We will use the --arg flag to reference our bash variable and set the new value for our field
cat distconfig.json | jq --arg TARGET_ID $TARGET_ID '.DefaultCacheBehavior.TargetOriginId = $TARGET_ID' > tmp.json && mv tmp.json distconfig.json
Trying out some new features in Azure; Azure Functions running Powershell. One thing I'm struggling with for a while: I cannot get the output in plain JSON, instead in seems formatted and includes escape characters and is messed up double quoting.
function.json:
{

{
"name": "req",
"type": "httpTrigger",
"direction": "in",
"webHookType": "genericJson",

},
{

"type": "http",
"direction": "out"
}
],
"disabled": false
}
run.ps1:
$ApiURI="http://avwx.rest/api/metar.php?station=ymml&format=JSON"
$Result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $ApiURI
Out-File -Encoding Ascii -FilePath $res -inputObject $Result
Results in following response:
"\r\n\r\nAltimeter : 1015\r\nCloud-List : {FEW 035}\r\nDewpoint : 11\r\nFlight-Rules : VFR\r\nOther-List : {}\r\nRaw-Report : YMML 210900Z 17010KT 9999 FEW035 19/11 Q1015 NOSIG\r\nRemarks : NOSIG\r\nRemarks-Info : \r\nRunway-Vis-List : {}\r\nStation : YMML\r\nTemperature : 19\r\nTime : 210900Z\r\nUnits : #{Altimeter=hPa; Altitude=ft; Temperature=C; Visibility=m; \r\n Wind-Speed=kt}\r\nVisibility : 9999\r\nWind-Direction : 170\r\nWind-Gust : \r\nWind-Speed : 10\r\nWind-Variable-Dir : {}\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n"
But what I expect is something like:
{
"Altimeter": "1016",
"Cloud-List": [],
"Dewpoint": "12",
"Flight-Rules": "VFR",
"Other-List": [],
"Raw-Report": "YMML 210930Z 17011KT CAVOK 18/12 Q1016 NOSIG",

},
"Visibility": "9999",
"Wind-Direction": "170",
"Wind-Gust": "",
"Wind-Speed": "11",
"Wind-Variable-Dir": []
}
What could be wrong here?
I'm not sure how you got that result, since Invoke-RestMethod store the data in the ResponseData property.
When you use Invoke-RestMethod it will convert the json data to a Powershell Object. In your run.ps1 it looks like you are going to save the PS Object to a file, not the JSON data.
If you are not going to modify the JSON data, it's really no use to convert it to a PSObject. So you could use Invoke-webrequest instead.
But in case you want to modify it.
$uri = "http://avwx.rest/api/metar.php?station=ymml&format=JSON"
$request = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri
#Get the result and convert it back to JSON
$Result = $request.responseData | ConvertTo-Json
$Result | Out-File .\data.json -Encoding Ascii
#David - Yes, the following works for me in Azure Functions.
a. run.ps1 file content
$ApiURI="http://avwx.rest/api/metar.php?station=ymml&format=JSON"
$Result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $ApiURI | ConvertTo-Json
Out-File -Encoding Ascii -FilePath $res -inputObject $Result
b. Request result both in Azure Functions Portal and Postman.

I would like to do exact same thing by using powershell.
So, I made a code.
$username = ""
$password = ""
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username,$password)))
$response=Invoke-RestMethod -Headers #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Uri https://bitbucket.org/susco/azuretoquickbase -Method Get
$response
I am sure that I could log in bitbucket since I saw the content of " $responce".
then, like Bitbucket says, I added the code like this to echo out Json file .
$username = ""
$password = ""
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username,$password)))
$response=Invoke-RestMethod -Headers #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Uri https://bitbucket.org/susco/azuretoquickbase -Method Get
$response
$json = $response.Content|ConvertFrom-Json
$json.data.summaries
but it is causing error
ConvertFrom-Json : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'InputObject' because it is null.
At line:11 char:27
+ $json = $response.Content|ConvertFrom-Json
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [ConvertFrom-Json], ParameterBindingValidationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ConvertFromJsonCommand
The point is I am sure that I could log in and get to the page bitbucket says, but it is not getting json file and null error.
I want exactly to echo out like Bitbuckets page, How can i do that?
Invoke-RestMethod automatically converts JSON results into objects. If you want just the raw result, use Invoke-WebRequest and get the content property.
Or in your case, since it seems you want the object, just use $json = Invoke-RestMethod ....
My response from backend is not in form which ember store. I am not able to serialize the response.

How do I serialize this using JSONPISerailizer or any other serializer in ember-cli so that it gets stored in ember store
Reference jsonapi.org
++++Top Level:
Root:
A JSON object must be root of every JSON API request response.
A document must contain at least one top-level members:
1. data: documents "primary data"
2. errors: an array of error objects (id,status,code,title....)
3. meta: a meta object that contains non-standard meta-information (copyright,author...)
member data and errors must not co-exist together.
"data"{}
+++++Resource Objects
1. A resource object MUST contain atleast following top-level member
*id
*type
```
//structure-1
//for galleries
{
"data": {
"type": "galleries",
"id": "1"
}
}
//for photos
{
"data": {
"type": "photos",
"id": "1"
}
}
```
In addition, a resource object may contain any of these top-level members
*attributes
*relationship
*links
*meta
//added attributes first
```
//structure-2
//for galleries
{
"data": {
"type": "galleries",
"id": "1",
"attributes": {
"galleryName": "Faces"
"thumbnailUrl:"https://example.cloud.net/galleryThumbs/2656a05c-4ec7.jpg",
"description": "Created by user",
}
}
}
//for photos
{
"data": {
"type": "photos",
"id": "1",
"attributes":{
userName: "Nabeela",
userKarma: 915
}
}
}
```
//Adding relationship
Relationship object must contain atleast one of the following
*links (containing atleast one of "self" or "related" resource link
*data
*meta
//link in relationship (minimum one required from link,data,meta).
//
```
//structure-3
//for galleries
{
"data":[{ //Array(square bracket as adding relationship one more item to data
"type": "galleries",
"id": "1",
"attributes": {
"galleryName": "Faces"
"thumbnailUrl:"https://example.cloud.net/galleryThumbs/2656a05c-4ec7.jpg",

}
}
```
//data in relationship
```
//structure-4
//for galleries
{
"data": [{
"type": "galleries",

"galleryName": "Faces"
"thumbnailUrl:"https://example.cloud.net/galleryThumbs/2656a05c-4ec7.jpg",

},
"data": { //picked it up from structure-1
"type": "photos",

}
}]
}
}
```
//Adding related resource "included"
```
//for galleries
{

},
"data": { //picked it up from structure-1
"type": "photos",
"id": "77"
}
}],
"included":[{
"type": "photos",
"id": "77",
"attributes":{
userName: "Nabeela",
userKarma: 915
},
{
"type": "photos",
"id": "78",
"attributes":{
userName: "Nabeela",
userKarma: 915
}
}]
}
}
```
For collections. I am not confident but try this
Now for collection of galleries.
//for galleries
{
"data": [{
"type": "galleries",
"id": "1",
"attributes": {
"galleryName": "Faces"
"thumbnailUrl:"https://example.cloud.net/galleryThumbs/2656a05c-4ec7.jpg",
"description": "Created by user",
},
"relationships":{ //This has all your photo stuff
"links":{
"self": "https://example.cloud.net/photos/9cbd6423.jpg //"photo_url" in your payload
},
"data": { //picked it up from structure-1
"type": "photos",
"id": "77"
}
},{
"type": "galleries",
"id": "2",
"attributes": {
"galleryName": "Faces"
"thumbnailUrl:"https://example.cloud.net/galleryThumbs/2656a05c-4ec7.jpg",
"description": "Created by user",
},
"relationships":{ //This has all your photo stuff
"links":{
"self": "https://example.cloud.net/photos/9cbd6423.jpg //"photo_url" in your payload
},
"data": { //picked it up from structure-1
"type": "photos",
"id": "79"
}
}],
"included":[{
"type": "photos",
"id": "77",
"attributes":{
userName: "Nabeela",
userKarma: 915
},{
"type": "photos",
"id": "78",
"attributes":{
userName: "Nabeela",
userKarma: 915
},{
"type": "photos",
"id": "79",
"attributes":{
userName: "Nabeela",
userKarma: 915
}
}]
}
}
============Implementation part =================================
JSONSerializer normalization process follows these steps
*normalizeResponse : entry method.
*normalizeCreateRecordResponse : a normalizeResponse for specific operation.
*normalizeSingleResponse|normalizeArrayResponse:
- for methods like createRecord. we expect a single record back.
- for methods like findAll we expect multiple records back.
+normalize =
normalizeArray iterates and calls normalize for each of it's records
normalizeSingle call its once.
+extractID | extractAttributes | extractRelationships
= normalize delegates to these method to turn record payload into jsonAPI format
Starting with normalizeResponse method. If you open and see normalizeResponse method
in json-serializer
link normalizeResponse: https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/v2.2.1/packages/ember-
data/lib/serializers/json-serializer.js#L192
you with find a switch case switch(requestType). If requestType if
"findRecord" then "normalizeFindRecordResponse" is called
"queryRecord" then "normalizeQueryRecordResponse" is called
"findAll" then "normalizeFindAllResponse" is called
...so on and so forth.
if you notice the parameter passed to all the methods are same as that of normalize
(...arguments) :)
**Lets start for findAll
i.e normalizeResponse -> normalizeFindAllResponse -> normalizeArrayResponse
as normalizeFindAllResponse method has only one line that call
normalizeArrayResponse.
normalizeFindAllResponse
normalizeResponse -> normalizeFindAllResponse -> normalizeArrayResponse ->
_normalizeResponse{ extractMeta,normalize }
extractMeta [extract meta information like pagination and stuff ]
if single: normalize []
example of normalize method in emberjs docs
```
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.JSONSerializer.extend({
normalize: function(typeClass, hash) {
var fields = Ember.get(typeClass, 'fields');
fields.forEach(function(field) {
var payloadField = Ember.String.underscore(field);
if (field === payloadField) { return; }
hash[field] = hash[payloadField];
delete hash[payloadField];
});
return this._super.apply(this, arguments);
}
});
```
"normalizeArrayResponse calls `return this._normalizeResponse
(store,primaryModelClass,payload,id,requestType,false).
so isSingle is false for _normalizeResponse method. so we will have to push all the
related records of included array
in our case the photos which is done by below snippet from "_normalizeRespose"
method.
_normalizeResponse
```
else{
documentHash.data = payload.map((item) => {
let { data, included } = this.normalize(primaryModelClass,item);
if(included){
documentHash.included.push(...included);
}
return data;
});
return documentHash;
}
```
Things are still unclear in the context of our JSON reponse from server
but atleast we know the flow now.
Lets try to apply it for findAll ( as per the flow above).
run "ember g serializer application" //assuming you are using ember-cli and you
intend to make this serializer generic for application.
As of now I have no information how and when normalizeResponse is called. :(
I just scanned through and guess on recieving data from server the store calls
normalizeResponseHelpers which in turn calls normalizeResponse.
In any case "normalizeResponse" is going to send payload and other necessar
information to normalizeFindAllResponse(...arguments) which in turn will call
normalizeArrayResponse(...arguments) which in turn will call "_normalizeRespone".
Here is where we need to take action
for extraMeta and normalize.
+extraMeta
I am not sure if there is any meta information in you json response.
in case there is you can refer to the example mentioned in docs
extractMeta
So I guess you can directly user the normalize method from example in your application ;).
please try and check. Since i am learning ember myself I cannot guarantee it will work but it should. the lonngggg explation is my thought while i was learning the problem/solution
//app/serializers/application.js
+normalize
```
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.JSONSerializer.extend({
normalize: function(typeClass, hash) {
var fields = Ember.get(typeClass, 'fields');
fields.forEach(function(field) {
var payloadField = Ember.String.underscore(field);
if (field === payloadField) { return; }
hash[field] = hash[payloadField];
delete hash[payloadField];
});
return this._super.apply(this, arguments);
}
});
```
The primary key in the JSON from server is pk. You will have to mention that too
http://emberjs.com/api/data/classes/DS.JSONSerializer.html#property_primaryKey
app/serializers/application.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.JSONSerializer.extend({
primaryKey: 'pk'
});
