This is my json result from the request
{
"name": "North America",
"region_tag": "na1",
"hostname": "prod.na1.lol.riotgames.com",
"services": [
{
"status": "online",
"incidents": [
{
"active": true,
"created_at": "2018-03-22T10:53:03.397Z",
"id": 7636
}
]
}
]
}
I want to print out the value of status from services
My code
link = "https://na1.api.riotgames.com/lol/status/v3/shard-data?api_key={}".format(API_KEY)
rq_link=rq.get(link).text
rq_json=json.loads(rq_link)
I've tried
print(rq_json['services']['status])
and I get an error saying TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str
Is there another way to do it other than using the for loop
for post in rq_json['services']:
print(rq_json['status'])
The answer you're looking for its
rq_json['services'][0]['status']
Because, the service part is described in a list, you need to specify an index to get into inner dict
You can use list comprehension:
[print(service['status']) for service in rq_json['services']]
More info about list comprehension could be found in the official Python documentation

I have a nested JSON in a field that contains multiple important keys that I would like to retrieve as an array:
{
"tasks": [
{
"id": "task_1",
"name": "task_1_name",
"assignees": [
{
"id": "assignee_1",
"name": "assignee_1_name"
}
]
},
{
"id": "task_2",
"name": "task_2_name",
"assignees": [
{
"id": "assignee_2",
"name": "assignee_2_name"
},
{
"id": "assignee_3",
"name": "assignee_3_name"
}
]}]}
All the queries that I've tried so far fx ( $.tasks.*.assignees..id) and many others have returned
[
"assignee_1",
"assignee_2",
"assignee_3"
]
But what I need is:
[
["assignee_1"],
["assignee_2", "assignee_3"]
]
Is it possible to do with JSONPath or any script inside of it, without involving 3rd party tools?
The problem you're facing is that tasks and assignees are arrays. You need to use [*] instead of .* to get the items in the array. So your path should look like
$.tasks[*].assignees[*].id
You can try it at https://json-everything.net/json-path.
NOTE The output from my site will give you both the value and its location within the original document.
Edit
(I didn't read the whole thing :) )
You're not going to be able to get
[
["assignee_1"],
["assignee_2", "assignee_3"]
]
because, as #Tomalak mentioned, JSON Path is a query language. It's going to remove all structure and return only values.
I was thinking about the possibility of executing a specific http method (POST or PUT) in POSTMAN without specifying it.
I mean; imagine if there was a field in a JSON file called: METHOD within 2 possible states: 'I' corresponding to INSERT OR POST and the another one: 'U' related to UPDATE or PUT
Something like this: (please, do note the field called "method"):
[
{
"sku": "95LB645R34ER",
"method": 'I'
"payload": {
"price": "147000",
"tax_percentage": "US-21",
"store_code": "B2BUSD",
"markup_top": "1.62",
"status": "1",
"group_prices": [
{
"group": "CLASS A",
"price": "700038.79",
"website": "B2BUSD"
}
]
}
},
{
"sku": "95TYS34344ER",
"method": 'U'
"payload": {
"price": "69978",
"tax_percentage": "US-21",
"store_code": "B2BUSD",
"markup_top": "9.99",
"status": "1",
"group_prices": [
{
"group": "CLASS B",
"price": "88888.79",
"website": "B2BUSD"
}
]
}
}
]
I would like to run that JSON using the Collection Runner but i have no idea how to do the trick. I mean, everytime i generate a collection i have to specify the HTTP METHOD otherwise it wont know what to do.
I want the program to adjust that by looking at the JSON file, if "method":'I' then, perform a POST or if "method":'U' execute a PUT method. Do you get me?
I've been reading the documentation but i did not find something like that or maybe i did not understand. I'm not an expert on POSTMAN :(
Can you help me?
EDIT:
Alright, i did this:
In the request UI, use the {{METHOD}} syntax where you would see the HTTP method. This is an editable field as it allows you to add custom HTTP methods.
In the file, use the METHOD key and any HTTP verb as the value. Ensure that it's part of each object in the datafile as you will need it for each iteration.

want to remove metadata property from above json message and output should be like below
{
"Number": "2323600002913",
"Date": "04/21/2009",
"postingDate": "00/00/0000",
"ata": {
"results": [
{
"item": "000010",
"data":"ad"
}
]
}
}
I tried with removeProperty() which is working for root level metadata but inside metadata not removed.
how to use replace() in this case or anything else to only remove metadata.
The simplest way is use inline code, cause even with removeProperty() expression to remove the metadata under results, it will return the results array data not the whole json data. Then you will have to combine them, it's not a convenient way.
And with inline code you could refer to my below picture. The variable json is the value from triggerbody, then just delete the node or key and return the json variable. And with this way, even you want to delete many metadata in the array, you could add a for loop to delete it, just think of it as plain js code.
Update:if you want to get value from variable,cause no support expression to get value from variable so use the below expression.
var json =wworkflowContext.actions.Initialize_variable.inputs.variables[0].value;
And about how to loop the array in the json refer to my below pic.
I am currently implementing some test automation that uses a json POST to a REST API to initialize the test data in the SUT. Most of the fields I don't have an issue editing using information I found in another thread: Json handling in ROBOT
However, one of the sets of information I am editing is a dictionary of meta data.
{
"title": "Test Auotmation Post 2018-03-06T16:12:02Z",
"content": "dummy text",
"excerpt": "Post made by automation for testing purposes.",
"name": "QA User",
"status": "publish",
"date": "2018-03-06T16:12:02Z",
"primary_section": "Entertainment",
"taxonomy": {
"section": [
"Entertainment"
]
},
"coauthors": [
{
"name": "QA User - CoAuthor",
"meta": {
"Title": "QA Engineer",
"Organization": "That One Place"
}
}
],
"post_meta": [
{
"key": "credit",
"value": "QA Engineer"
},
{
"key": "pub_date",
"value": "2018-03-06T16:12:02Z"
},
{
"key": "last_update",
"value": "2018-03-06T16:12:02Z"
},
{
"key": "source",
"value": "wordpress"
}
]
}
Is it possible to use the Set to Dictionary Keyword on a dictionary inside a dictionary? I would like to be able to edit the value of the pub_date and last_update inside of post_meta, specifically.
The most straightforward way would be to use the Evaluate keyword, and set the sub-dict value in it. Presuming you are working with a dictionary that's called ${value}:
Evaluate $value['post_meta'][1]['pub_date'] = 'your new value here'
I won't get into how to find the index of the post_meta list that has the 'key' with value 'pub_date', as that's not part of your question.
Is it possible to use the Set to Dictionary Keyword on a dictionary inside a dictionary?
Yes, it's possible.
However, because post_meta is a list rather than a dictionary, you will have to write some code to iterate over all of the values of post_meta until you find one with the key you want to update.
You could do this in python quite simply. You could also write a keyword in robot to do that for you. Here's an example:
*** Keywords ***
Set list element by key
[Arguments] ${data} ${target_key} ${new_value}
:FOR ${item} IN #{data}
\ run keyword if '''${item['key']}''' == '''${target_key}'''
\ ... set to dictionary ${item} value=${new_value}
[return] ${data}
Assuming you have a variable named ${data} contains the original JSON data as a string, you could call this keyword like the following:
${JSON}= evaluate json.loads('''${data}''') json
set list element by key ${JSON['post_meta']} pub_date yesterday
set list element by key ${JSON['post_meta']} last_update today
You will then have a python object in ${JSON} with the modified values.
I am new to Apigee,I had tried a query to extract the value from the json data child and i need to get the parent element from the json data.
JSON is Here:
{ "Booksstall": [
{ "serialId": "10123456",
"Name": "magic"
"books": [
{ "Order": 3,
"Name": "Supermax"
}
],
"NormalserialIds": [
{"serialId": "1234556",
"Status": "InStock",
"books": [
{"type": "400001623",
"Code": "PATR"
}
]
},
{"serialId": "789101",
"Status": "OutoffStock",
"books": [
{"type": "400001623",
"Code": "NFES"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
I tried this query in online json validator ,but if I tried same in the Apigee extract variable policy by doing substitution Its not returning me any values.
$.Booksstall[?(#.NormalserialIds[0].serialId=="1234556")].serialId
The above query result is: 10123456.
Please suggest how can I try this.
You can also use Javascript Policy to extract same. It should be simple and straight forward with Javascript Policy.
