Import.io to extract data from URL with json - json

This is an example of the URL, there are multiple I want to extract.
http://www.walgreens.com/svc/products/search/?requestType=loyalty
How can I train the extractor to put the json in rows and columns? I can only get it to highlight the entire data and import.io puts it all on one row.
I want to use the URL with json as the full web page is loaded with javascript and doesn't train properly.

You can use xpath to do this. Which ones are you actually looking to scrape? However, it seems that the data are on several different json objects. i.e. products, refinements, etc.
So if you're going to scrape everything, you'd need to create different extractors for the different json objects. But there might be a better way.

Extract JSON Data From ThingSpeak API

so i want to get the value from one oof my fields in my thingspeak, i'm able to extract data from my channels but i want to get only one specific field
i read the documentation and the api link that looks like this
https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/<channel_id>/feeds.json?results=1
and when i opened the link it showed this
{"channel":{"id":1688112,"name":"ESP8266 - Web Controlled LED","latitude":"0.0","longitude":"0.0","field1":"Command","field2":"Red LED","field3":"Green LED","field4":"Blue Led","created_at":"2022-03-29T00:36:06Z","updated_at":"2022-04-06T03:12:36Z","last_entry_id":443},"feeds":[{"created_at":"2022-04-10T07:06:01Z","entry_id":443,"field1":null,"field2":"0","field3":"0","field4":"0"}]}
so my question is how do i extract the data for example from my field2 data where "field2":"0"?
i want to use it for my project in my html where later it can do some functions in my content.
thanks!
It really depends on the program you use.
But usually you find a JSON library to be installed in your IDE.
With it you extract any field from the JSON file

Converting nested JSON response to a CSV table

I am testing APIs on a locally run service using Postman. I am getting a large nested response as JSON. But I am required to produce a CSV file with the data in tables. i.e., keys as column names and the values as separate rows into the tables
An offline solution for needed, for privacy and confidentiality reasons.
First I came across this solution: postman saveResponseToFile template
A template of postman that sends the requests to a node server running locally which in turn saves the JSON to a CSV.
But all this does is save each line into a separate cell horizontally across the CSV. Not of much use for readability.
Desired Output
The needed table is something like what this online tool does:
ConvertCSV
This takes the keys as column names and creates new rows for each nested data.
Is there a OSS script that can accomplish this. Sorry if this is a duplicate. I haven't found a proper one after trying more similar scripts similar to the first.

Move Gherkin's (i.e. Cucumber and Behave) Data Table to JSON

I was using Behave and Selenium to test on something that use a large amount of data. Data tables were becoming too big and making the Gherkin documentation unreadable.
I would like to move most of the data from data tables to external file such as JSON. But I couldn't find any examples on websites.
I cannot offer an example at the moment, but I would create the JSON file as needed and give reference to the JSON file in Given or Background , then capture the value in the respective decorated method.

how to retrieve the data from xml and display it in table in html

I wanted to develop a small search website where I will be storing the data in XML files. When we search anything, it should display those data as table format in html. How does one retrieve the data from XML files?
Below is the basic thing to display data of only two columns, but I want to display data dynamically:
html file:http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_applications.asp
This is the sample code for retrieving the data from xml only for two columns.
Well the first problem I see is that you have two functions in there that are not being called. Nothing programmatic will happen in this scenario. When you have a method you need to call said method with myFunction(). I would recommend reading up a little more on javascript instead of copying and pasting it and expecting it to just "work"
To further elaborate, you removed the function call from the example you took when you took off the button. What is your xml endpoint? (it's not going to be the same as the example unless you build it to be that way). In this example it's just an xml file that is hosted on the server with the same root as the html.

raw json to html table format

I want to display raw json in tabular format, I have seen jquery plugins but that need heading/labels to display, In my case, its not predefined ( means anything possible in json).
How can I display that in HTML table format ?
I found this engine on Hacker News today, it might be what you're looking for.
Tempo - a tiny JSON rendering engine
jQuery JSON-to-table plugin (demonstration) is a jQuery plugin that
can represent hierarchical data (JSON) in HTML table.
The script is developed to handle all data types passable through
JSON. At any time only one level of data is shown. The data tree can
be navigated from node-to-node without refreshing the page.
https://github.com/anuary/jquery-json-to-table
This script exactly that – it allows you to display raw JSON data in HTML table without any pre-defined templates.
You can also use this simple project on Github : Json-To-HTML-Table
