I'm working on power automate and I have an issue because I've tried a lot expressions and none of them working.
I did a loop (foreach) and inside a message (compose) and there I tried to display "f7626790-0756-43bf-a757-a645a33b853d" from"client"
To do so, I've tried all those expressions:
item()?['client']
item()?['client']?[0]
item()['client']
Here my json file:
[
{
"gift": [
{
"client": "f7626790-0756-43bf-a757-a645a33b853d",
"details": [
{
"client_id": 10859085,
"type": "christmas",
"application_id": "6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb23ae65f"
}
]
}
]
}
]
Thank's in advance.
Based on the JSON you provided, you have two arrays. So the question for me is, which array do you want to iterate? Both or the inner one?
I'm going to assume both or if not, it won't matter if you only ever have one item for both of them, my answer will still retrieve the client property.
The Initialize Data step has your JSON.
The Initialize Client step is a blank string at this stage.
The For Each Outer Item expression is simply a link to the Data variable as initialized in the first step.
The For Each Gift expression is set as ... item()?['gift'] ... as you can work out, that will loop over each gift item.
Finally, I get the value of the client property using this expression ... item()['client']
just want to know if and how I can parse a HTTP response with a dynamic name in a JSON?
I used the Azure Management API to receive the managed identities (system- and user assigned managed identities) to receive all managed identities.
With a foreach I am iterating the results.
If a resource has a system assigned managed identity and user assigned managed identity, the response looks like this:
{
"principalId": "<principalId1>",
"tenantId": "<tenantId>",
"type": "SystemAssigned, UserAssigned",
"userAssignedIdentities": {
"/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourcegroups/<resourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/<userAssignedIdentitiesName>": {
"principalId": "<principalId2>",
"clientId": "<clientId>"
}
}
}
Now, I would like to get the <principalId2>.
Unfortunately, the Name of the object is dynamic related to the scope of the resource /subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourcegroups/<resourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/<userAssignedIdentitiesName>.
How can I parse the JSON to receive the needed <principalId2>?
For all other responses I can easily use the Data operations Parse JSON with the payload I inserted from the HTTP response.
Is there a way to use a wildcard? Otherwise, could I somehow just select the first object of userAssignedIdentities to receive the needed value?
Ok, this should work for you. This is the flow I tested with ...
Initialise JSON
Your JSON as a string, how you do that in your solution may differ slightly.
Initialize XPath Result
Defined as an Array and the expression is ...
xpath(xml(json(concat('{ root: ', replace(variables('JSON'), 'PrincipalId', 'principalId'), '}'))), '(//principalId)[2]')
Initialize Result
A bit more work again but defined as a String and the expression is ...
array(xpath(xml(base64ToString(variables('XPath Result')[0]?['$content'])), '//text()'))[0]
The end result should be your value ...
I have below JSON which I need to update inside a logic app
{
"name": "SampleDoc",
"type": "123",
"properties": {
"GP.Test": "M1",
"MG.Test": "C1"
}
}
I have used following setProperty syntax: -
#setProperty(variables('ResponseBody'),'properties', setProperty(variables('ResponseBody')['properties'], 'test','abc'),
setProperty(variables('ResponseBody')['properties'], 'GP.Test','M2'))
My desired JSON output should be
{
"name": "SampleDoc",
"type": "123",
"properties": {
"GP.Test": "M2",
"MG.Test": "C1"
}
}
But when I am running this, I am getting this error: -
InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Compose' inputs at line '1' and column '2617': 'The provided property name 'GP.Test' has these invalid characters '.'. The name cannot contain any of the following symbols: '[, ], .'.'.
Could anyone suggest if we can handle '.' inside compose or any other way for achieving this?
Yes that is correct behavior that is occurring in the logic apps. The reason is that you have used the set property function to set the value of the GP.Test property. When working with the expressions in logic apps, the '.' operator is reserved operator and will be used to access sub properties etc of the expressions, functions etc. Hence you get the error. The solution to this is actually simple, you use the compose action directly without using the set property. Sample screenshot below.
Or if you want complex transformations, then using the liquid transformations through the integration account is the way to go
I'm new to Qradar and facing difficulties in understanding filter parameter in Qradar REST api /siem/offenses. Can anyone suggest me how to use filter based on offense 'rules' field? As rules is a list of JSON objects, i'm finding it difficult to write filter.
sample offense with rules field
{
"username_count": 1,
"description": "String",
"rules": [
{
"id": 1,
"type": "String <one of: ADE_RULE, BUILDING_BLOCK_RULE, CRE_RULE>"
}```
]
}
We experienced a similar issue and find a way out, you can use 'contains' keyword to access list elements. For example, to filter rules[0]["id"] you could use:
rules contains (id = 42)
I've been using Postman Chrome extension to test out my API and would like to send an array of IDs via post. Is there a way to send something list this as a parameter in Postman?
{
user_ids: ["1234", "5678"]
}
You need to suffix your variable name with [] like this:
If that doesn't work, try not putting indexes in brackets:
my_array[] value1
my_array[] value2
Note:
If you are using the postman packaged app, you can send an array by selecting raw / json (instead of form-data). Also, make sure to set Content-Type as application/json in Headers tab.
Here is example for raw data {"user_ids": ["123" "233"]}, don't forget the quotes!
If you are using the postman REST client you have to use the method I described above because passing data as raw (json) won't work. There is a bug in the postman REST client (At least I get the bug when I use 0.8.4.6).
For me did not work with array[0], array1, .. or array[], array[], ... .
It works more simply:
If you want an array of dicts, try this:
Here is my solution:
use form-data and edit as below:
Key Value
box[] a
box[n1] b
box[n2][] c
box[n2][] d
and you will get an array like this:
{"box":{"0":"a","n1":"b","n2":["c","d"]}}
It is important to know, that the VALUE box is only allowed to contain a numeral value (no specifiers).
If you want to send e.g. an array of "messages" with Postman, each having a list of key/value pairs, enter e.g. messages[][reason] into the KEY box and the value of reason into the VALUE box:
The server will receive:
{"messages"=>[{"reason"=>"scrolled", "tabid"=>"2"}, {"reason"=>"reload", "tabid"=>"1"}], "endpoint"=>{}}
I also had that problem, and solved it by doing the following:
1 - Going to the request header configuration and added the following:
Accept : application/json, text/plain, */*
Content-Type : application/json;charset=UTF-8
2 - To send the json array, I went to raw json format and set the user_ids to array:
user_ids: ["bbbbbbbbbb","aaaaaaaaaa","987654321","123456789"]
Set Body as raw and form the array as follows:
As mentioned by #pinouchon you can pass it with the help of array index
my_array[0] value
my_array[1] value
In addition to this, to pass list of hashes, you can follow something like:
my_array[0][key1] value1
my_array[0][key2] value2
Example:
To pass param1=[{name:test_name, value:test_value}, {...}]
param1[0][name] test_name
param1[0][value] test_value
Go to Header and select Content-Type = application/json then go to body and select raw and then pass an array.
this worked for me. to pass an array of Item object {ItemID,ColorID,SizeID,Quntity}
in headers set
content-type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded
In body select option
x-www-form-urlencoded
and insert data as json array
user_ids : ["1234", "5678"]
This also works for lists within the object:
Id:37
IdParent:26
Name:Poplet
Values[0].Id:1349
Values[0].Name:SomeName
Values[1].Id:1350
Values[1].Name:AnotherName
the equivalent JSON would be:
{
"Id": 37,
"IdParent": 26,
"Name": "Poplet",
"Values": [
{
"Id": 1349,
"Name": "SomeName"
},
{
"Id": 1350,
"Name": "AnotherName"
}
]
}
{
"data" : [
{
"key1" : "value1",
"key2" : "value2"
},
{
"key01" : "value01",
"key02" : "value02"
},
{
"key10" : "value10",
"key20" : "value20"
}
]
}
You can pass like this.
In form-data you can pass a array like this
and in backend you will fetch it like a
"tags"=>["aaaa", "bbb"]
In my case I've to pass two values in a array so I write it two times
Choose either form-data or urlencoded and use the same key "user_ids". The server should receive it as an array.
In form-data,
key value
user_ids[] 1234
user_ids[] 5678
My back-end is written in Ruby on Rails. This is how I sent the array params using Postman. It worked for me.
UPDATE
I'm using x-www-form-urlencoded. I believe it will work too for form-data.
To send an array using form data there's no need to use brackets.
Just send that specific array using the same name in multiple fields.
Like:
my_array:value_1
my_array:value_2
Although this question has already accepted a solution still that solution has a drawback that is we have to repeat the key (Array name) again and again as one key is accepting only one value. Like this:
Imagine we have 10 values or more, should we repeat the same Array name each time? The programmatic answer is NO. Then we should do the following that is a better approach.
Select the form-data as usual
Type Array name in the Key field
Pass the Array in Value field
Like this:
Now, you should be able to send the Array, but wait, this won't be stored in Database like that in my case with MongoDB. So what you have to do is, use the following piece of code to send it like an Array in the Database:
First, we need to parse it using JSON, like this
let user_ids = JSON.parse(body.user_ids);
Now, you can send user_ids variable to database like an Array
That's All!
I tried all solution here and in other posts, but nothing helped.
The only answer helped me:
Adding [FromBody] attribute before decleration of parameter in function signature:
[Route("MyFunc")]
public string MyFunc([FromBody] string[] obj)
Supposing you have the array of object below,
features: [
{
title: { type: String },
type: { type: String },
},
],
To add the values on the form data on the postman, add it this way
features[title]
features[type]
Check also the image below
Here is something that worked for me
{
"user_ids":["[1234, 5678]"]
}
I believe it depends on how the backend is setup most of the time.
N.B Now we are in 2022 if All of the above solutions didn't, just don't panic. pass array name with is value without a bracket and the add it multiple time, just link how the image below is showing. it should work just fine. If It does work, buy me some coffee, hhh
In my case I need to send array of objects, I sent it like this
Request header configuration and added the following
Accept: application/json
You need to suffix your key variable name with []
like key[0][name]
You can insert it in "bulk-edit" mode
Body section in form-data on right side click Bulk Edit and added the following
items[0][prod_id]:174336
items[0][item_weight]:3.400
items[0][item_qty]:1
items[0][item_selected_melting]:92
items[0][item_remarks]:
items[1][prod_id]:12345
