Add JSON data to MySQL database - mysql

Question

I'm developing a Grails concert application where I am acquiring the actual events from bandsintown.com using AngularJS.
$.getJSON("http://api.bandsintown.com/events/search.json?&api_version=2.0&app_id=FYP&location=Dublin,Ireland", function(result)
I am able to retrieve the events and I now want to turn each event into an object and add them to my database, so I can have a unique page for each event with their subsequent details and whatnot.
Is anyone able to provide me guidance on how to do such a thing?
Thank you!

I wrote something a while ago as a plugin which may help you get your head around what you need to do :
private String viewTicketField(String jiraserver, String jirauser,String jirapass, String url, String customField) {
if (url.endsWith('undefined')) {
return
}
String output=''
try {
HBuilder hBuilder=new HBuilder()
RESTClient http = hBuilder.httpConn(jiraserver, jirauser, jirapass,httpConnTimeOut,httpSockTimeOut)
http.request(Method.GET ) { req ->
uri.path = url
response.success = { resp, json ->
log.info "Process URL Success! ${resp.status} "
def result=JSON.parse(json.toString())
if (result.fields."customfield_${customField}") {
output=result.fields."customfield_${customField}"
}
}
response.failure = { resp ->
log.error "Process URL failed with status ${resp.status}"
}
}
}
catch (HttpResponseException e) {
log.error "Failed error: $e.statusCode"
}
return output
}
HBuilder class can be found in src
After you have connected and got back your JSON response you then parse each line
You create a new domain class
String url
String datetime
String app_id
String ticket_url
... and so on this is an entire entry from above url so for each key that you actually require put in domain class as strings then parse each iteration with above code
{"id":13926481,"url":"http://www.bandsintown.com/event/13926481?app_id=FYP","datetime":"2017-02-23T17:00:00","ticket_url":"http://www.bandsintown.com/event/13926481/buy_tickets?app_id=FYP\u0026came_from=233","artists":[{"name":"Rackhouse Pilfer","url":"http://www.bandsintown.com/RackhousePilfer","mbid":null}],"venue":{"id":3334537,"url":"http://www.bandsintown.com/venue/3334537","name":"Convention Centre","city":"Dublin","region":"07","country":"Ireland","latitude":53.3500292,"longitude":-6.2385286},"ticket_status":"unavailable","on_sale_datetime":null
