Hi Nivedita,

the script shared earlier should work; ensure you give correct field names for the 6 fields

try {
var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Get Data', 'Default GET');

//override authentication profile
authentication_type ='basic';
r.setAuthenticationProfile(authentication_type, 'efea940d1b408010acf5fc88cc4bcbf7');

var response = r.execute();
var responseBody = response.getBody();
var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

gs.print(responseBody);
gs.log("response body is" + responseBody);
var obj = JSON.parse(responseBody);

for(var i = 0; i<obj.plannedEvents.length; i++) {

var gr = new GlideRecord('u_outage');
gr.initialize();
gr.u_rollbackplan = obj.plannedEvents[i].rollbackPlan;
gr.u_plannedeventstartdate = obj.plannedEvents[i].plannedEventStartDate;
gr.u_closurecode = obj.plannedEvents[i].closureCode;
gr.u_description = obj.plannedEvents[i].description;
gr.u_plannedeventenddate = obj.plannedEvents[i].plannedEventEndDate;
gr.u_ticketid = obj.plannedEvents[i].ticketId;
gr.u_correlationid = obj.plannedEvents[i].correlationId;
gr.u_impact = obj.plannedEvents[i].impact;
gr.u_executionowner = obj.plannedEvents[i].executionOwner;
gr.u_maintenancetype = obj.plannedEvents[i].maintenanceType;
gr.u_sitelocation= obj.plannedEvents[i].maintenanceType;
gr.u_expecteddowntime= obj.plannedEvents[i].expectedDowntime;
gr.u_activitystatus= obj.plannedEvents[i].activityStatus;

var servicesArray = [];

for(var j = 0; j<obj.plannedEvents[i].services.length; j++) {
var gr = new GlideRecord('services_table');
gr.initialize();
gr.u_serviceidentifier= obj.plannedEvents[i].services[j].serviceIdentifier;
gr.u_protectionstatus= obj.plannedEvents[i].services[j].protectionStatus;
gr.u_servicetype= obj.plannedEvents[i].services[j].serviceType;
gr.u_servicealias= obj.plannedEvents[i].services[j].serviceAlias;
gr.u_customerlename= obj.plannedEvents[i].services[j].customerLeName;
gr.u_cuid= obj.plannedEvents[i].services[j].cuid;
var sysId = gr.insert();
servicesArray.push(sysId.toString());
}

gr.u_services = servicesArray.toString();
gr.insert();

}
gs.log("table data is" + responseBody);
}

catch(ex) {
gs.info('Exception is: ' + ex);
}
Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Hi niveditakumari

I'd be happy to help you but I'll need some more information to give you a qualified answer/help, could you please elaborate?

Are the 'response' body from a 3de party API - what't the format/structure and which table/fields to want to persist the data in?

Best regards Brian

Hello Brian,

Thank you so much for your help.

Response body from 3rd party API is in 'application/json' format.

I have created one table in my instance and want to extract data from that response body.

Regards,

Nivedita

Hi Nivedita,

response is in json format; so you need to use JSONParser to parse the json and then retrieve the data and then insert into your table

Can you share the json response here so that I can help parsing that and you can use that as per your requirement?

Hello Ankur,

I have created one schedule job and written below code to get response body.

try {
var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Get Data', 'Default GET');

//override authentication profile
authentication_type ='Basic';
r.setAuthenticationProfile(authentication_type, 'Test data');

//set a MID server name if one wants to run the message on MID
//r.setMIDServer('MY_MID_SERVER');

//if the message is configured to communicate through ECC queue, either
//by setting a MID server or calling executeAsync, one needs to set skip_sensor
//to true. Otherwise, one may get an intermittent error that the response body is null
//r.setEccParameter('skip_sensor', true);

var response = r.execute();
var responseBody = response.getBody();
var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();
gs.addInfoMessage(responseBody+ "responsebody is");
gs.log(responseBody+'Nivi test');
}
catch(ex) {
var message = ex.message;

}

I am getting this error :

Could you please help me with this.

Regards,

Nivedita
