Hello,

How to extract data from response body and set that value in table.

ex - I am calling one API and with that I am getting some records and that are stored in response body. Now I want to extract all the values from response body and set that value in one table.

I am trying to achieve this by schedule job.

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 Nivedita,

Is the response body you see a valid one? because it seems to me some authentication issue is present hence proper response is not received.

Hello Ankur,

Yes you are correct. It seems some authentication issue is present but i don't know what is the issue, why the output is coming like this.

Any suggestions on this.

Nivedita

Hi Nivedita,

try correcting the code to include this

r.setAuthenticationProfile(authentication_type, 'basic_profile_sys_id');

give sys_id of the basic auth profile there instead of the name
