How to extract value from body of returned REST Call

[bpolo]

We have a REST Call that returns this response:

Account Disabled { "data": {}, "message": "Successful - User has been suspended and accounts disabled.", "status_code": 200 }

The message value will not always be the same, so we want to only display what the value in the message is. Please could someone provide a script on how to strip out the message value from the response.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @bpolo,

You'll want something along the lines of the below:

//Sample JSON:
 var responseBody = { "data": {}, "message": "Successful - User has been suspended and accounts disabled.", "status_code": 200 }; //Update this to point to your JSON payload here
//Code:
var message = JSON.stringify(responseBody.message);
gs.print("Message : " + message);
//Result:
//***Script: Message: Successful - User has been suspended and accounts disabled.

Thanks very much, Robbie! This was very helpful!

The only piece I had to add was 

 var parsedData = JSON.parse(responseBody);   before I did the stringify statement.

Thanks again!
