I need help getting json data to my vb.net - json

I have the following code, using Newtonsoft.Json:
Dim address2 As String =
"https://euw.api.pvp.net/api/lol/euw/v2.5/league/by-summoner/"
& FlatLabel7.Text & "/entry?api_key=API KEY"
Dim client2 As WebClient = New WebClient()
Dim reader2 As StreamReader = New StreamReader(client2.OpenRead(address2))
Dim json2 As JObject = JObject.Parse(reader2.ReadToEnd)
FlatTextBox2.Text = json2.SelectToken(FlatLabel7.Text).SelectToken("tier")
but it doesnt find the "tier".
The json goes like this:
{"28170580": [{
"queue": "RANKED_SOLO_5x5",
"name": "Name"
"entries": [{
"leaguePoints": 54,
"isFreshBlood": false,
"isHotStreak": false,
"division": "I",
"isInactive": false,
"isVeteran": false,
"losses": 32,
"playerOrTeamName": "asdfasda",
"playerOrTeamId": "ffdsfsaf",
"wins": 34
}],
"tier": "SILVER"
}]}
I think its because it must go to a [0] before entering the "tier", but i dont know how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Here is my VBA code
Sub RequestURL()
Dim i As Integer
Dim rstring As String
Dim item As Object
Dim lrow As Integer: lrow = Range("A10000").End(xlUp).Row
rstring = "https://yfapi.net/v6/finance/quote?region=US&lang=en&symbols="
For i = 2 To lrow
rstring = rstring & Tsheet.Range("A" & i).Value & "%2C"
Next i
rstring = Left(rstring, Len(rstring) - 3)
Dim request As New WinHttpRequest
Dim key As String
key = "mykey"
request.Open "get", rstring
request.SetRequestHeader "X-API-Key", key
request.Send
If request.Status <> 200 Then
MsgBox request.ResponseText
Else
MsgBox request.ResponseText
End If
' To access Data
Dim reply As Object
Set reply = JsonConverter.ParseJson(request.ResponseText)
Dim price As Collection
Set price = reply("result")
Dim result As Dictionary
For Each result In price
Debug.Print result("regularMarketPreviousClose")
Next
End Sub
JSON uses name value pairs format.
Curly brackets hold objects and square ones hold array.
Result is an object itself and holds array of objects in it.
Since , it is inside quoteResponse. You must address it first and then the result inside it.
Set price = reply("quoteResponse")("result")

Deserialized an object into a DataTable

I have a JSON response like this:
{ "cod": "OK",
"list": [
{ "date": "31\/10\/2018", "count": "109", "name": "PAUL" },
{ "date": "30\/09\/2018", "count": "103", "name": "LUKE" }
]}
I use:
Dim jss As New JavaScriptSerializer
Dim Response = jss.Deserialize(Of Object)(strResponse)
Dim Cod = Response("cod")
Then:
Dim Lista_documents = Response("list")
And I have an object with the list of documents.
How can I populate a new DataTable?
I am not aware of any methods that will do it automatically, so probably with a Loop.
Dim table As New DataTable
table.Columns.Add("date", GetType(Date))
table.Columns.Add("count", GetType(Integer))
table.Columns.Add("name", GetType(String))
For Each Li In Lista_documents
table.Rows.Add(Li("date"), Li("count"), Li("name"))
Next
Adjust depending on how your Lista_documents is structured

VBA: count items in JSON response string / trello get Cards count in a List

I'm using VBA-web (https://vba-tools.github.io/VBA-Web/) to access trello api, to get cards in a list
My function looks like that:
Public Function CountCardsinList(ListId As String) As Integer
WebHelpers.EnableLogging = False
Dim TrelloClient As New WebClient
TrelloClient.BaseUrl = "https://api.trello.com/1/"
Dim Request As New WebRequest
Request.Format = WebFormat.Json
Request.ResponseFormat = Json
Request.Resource = "lists/{ListId}/cards"
Request.AddUrlSegment "ListId", ListId
Request.AddQuerystringParam "key", TrelloAPIKey
Request.AddQuerystringParam "token", TrelloAPIToken
Request.AddQuerystringParam "filter", "open"
Dim Response As WebResponse
Set Response = TrelloClient.Execute(Request)
If Response.StatusCode = WebStatusCode.Ok Then
Debug.Print Response.Content '
'Response.Data("idList").Count
Debug.Print "CountCardsinList =>>> " & Response.Content
CountCardsinList = Response.Data("idList").Count
Else
MsgBox Response.StatusDescription, vbCritical, "Error " & Response.StatusCode
CountCardsinList = ""
End If
Debug.Print "CountCardsinList =>>> " & Response.Content
'Set CountCardsinList = Request
End Function
I receive correct JSON reply from the api:

But I cannot correctly count idList -> and I'm trying to get number of cards in a list, by using Response.Data("idList").Count
Any information how to do it proper way? or which is the best way to parse JSON data?
General:
Your JSON isn't properly closed. I added }] to the end to close and placed in cell A1 of activesheet (as I don't have the API info). I then read that in from the cell as if it were response text.
Process:
I then used JSONConverter to parse this string from the sheet. This requires you to also add a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime via VBE > Tools > References.
The returned object is a collection of dictionaries. I test each dictionary for the existence of an idList key and if present add 1 to the variable itemCount, which keeps track of how many idLists there are.
Code:
Public Sub GetInfoFromSheet()
Dim jsonStr As String, item As Object, json As Object, itemCount As Long
jsonStr = [A1]
Set json = JsonConverter.ParseJson(jsonStr)
For Each item In json 'collection
If item.Exists("idList") Then itemCount = itemCount + 1
Next item
Debug.Print "idList count: " & itemCount
End Sub

Getting values from twitch.tv JSON response

I have just started using JSON.NET and I am having some trouble getting the values from JSON items.
I have come across some code over the past few days which will allow me to grab the names but not he associated values.
I am working with the twitch.tv Web API. Here is my code:
Dim sUrl As String = Convert.ToString("https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/") & sUsername
Dim wRequest As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(HttpWebRequest.Create(sUrl), HttpWebRequest)
wRequest.ContentType = "application/json"
wRequest.Accept = "application/vnd.twitchtv.v3+json"
wRequest.Method = "GET"
Dim wResponse As WebResponse = wRequest.GetResponse()
Dim dataStream As Stream = wResponse.GetResponseStream()
Dim reader As New StreamReader(dataStream)
Dim res As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
Dim outer As JToken = JToken.Parse(res)
Dim inner As JObject = outer("stream").Value(Of JObject)()
Dim keys As List(Of String) = inner.Properties().[Select](Function(p) p.Name).ToList()
For Each k As String In keys
Debug.WriteLine(k)
Next
reader.Close()
wResponse.Close()
The raw JSON is as follows:

}
}
The response from the code is all the names from "stream":
_id
game
viewers
created_at
video_height
average_fps
is_playlist
_links
preview
channel
What I am trying to accomplish is getting all the associated values after each one of those items but I cannot seem to get it right. I know it needs to iterate deeper but I've tried IEnumerable method and was unsuccessful there also.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
You're selecting all of the property names into a list with this line:
Dim keys As List(Of String) = inner.Properties().[Select](Function(p) p.Name).ToList()
You won't be able to get anything other than the property names from keys this way. Instead, loop over the Properties() collection and examine each JProperty:
For Each prop As JProperty In inner.Properties()
Debug.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", prop.Name, prop.Value)
Next
In addition, I'd recommend a few changes. The code you're using to make the request is harder than it should be :)
Dim sUrl As String = Convert.ToString("https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/") & sUsername
No need to call Convert.ToString("") - it's already a string. And (although it's a matter of opinion), I think Hungarian notation for the variables isn't necessary. This is much simpler:
Dim url As String = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/" & username
Much easier to just use WebClient:
Dim client As New WebClient()
client.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Accept, "application/vnd.twitchtv.v3+json")
Dim responseJson = client.DownloadString(url)
Complete example:
Dim username As String = "???"
Dim url As String = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/" & username
Dim client As New WebClient()
client.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Accept, "application/vnd.twitchtv.v3+json")
Dim responseJson As String = client.DownloadString(url)
Dim outer As JToken = JToken.Parse(responseJson)
Dim inner As JObject = outer("stream").Value(Of JObject)
For Each prop As JProperty In inner.Properties()
Console.WriteLine($"{prop.Name} - {prop.Value}")
Next
Easy peasy! :)

JSON - jResults/VB error

I am trying to take the value of a result JSON using VB(JSON.NET).
JSON
"paging": - {
"offset": 0,
"limit": 200,
"total": 6,
},
"results": - [
- {
"user_id": 010101,

"points": 0
},
- {
"user_id": 0222101,
"name": "Name X2",
"nickname": "YYYY",
"points": 0
}
My code:
request = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(campos.url), HttpWebRequest)
response = DirectCast(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
reader = New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
Dim rawresp, teste As String
rawresp = reader.ReadToEnd()
Dim jResults As JObject = JObject.Parse(rawresp)
'Dim results As List(Of JToken) = jResults.Children().ToList()
teste = jResults("results")("nickname").ToString()
I need to take the nickname, however do not achieve. In the truth, achieve only take values of the ítem PAGING and any of RESULTS.
But is giving error, he does not achieve to find the values.
Help me?
tks!
