Help with JSONPARSE

Post by andywilliams » Tue May 31, 2022 3:11 pm

Hello,

Would anyone be able to offer some assistance to me parsing some JSON. I have been trying to do this for about a week now an can't seem to make any progress.

The JSON I am interested is the response from this URL:

https://1ml.com/channel?json=true

I would like to be able to parse out the following:
"channel_ID"
"fee_base_msat"
"fee_rate_milli_msat"

Any help with this would be most gratefully appreciated.

Regards

AW

Here you go. This thread explains the reason for the problem.

The solution was to fix it with StringReplace, and then parse.

Code: Select all

//https://1ml.com/channel?json=true
//"channel_id"
//"fee_base_msat"
//"fee_rate_milli_msat"

HTTPRequest>https://1ml.com/channel?json=true,,GET,,sJSON
stringreplace>sJSON,[,{"things":[,sJSON
stringreplace>sJSON,],]},sJSON


JSONParse>sJSON,$.things[*].channel_id,chanID
JSONParse>sJSON,$.things[*].node1_policy.fee_base_msat,feebase
JSONParse>sJSON,$.things[*].node1_policy.fee_rate_milli_msat,feerate

mdl>%chanID_count% results


//let's loop through the output 
Let>k=0
Repeat>k
  Let>k=k+1
  Let>this_chanID=chanID_%k%
  MessageModal>this_chanID

  Let>this_feebase=feebase_%k%
  MessageModal>this_feebase

  Let>this_feerate=feerate_%k%
  MessageModal>this_feerate

Until>k=chanID_count

alternative:

Code: Select all

HTTPRequest>https://1ml.com/channel?json=true,,GET,,sJSON

JSONParse>sJSON,$..channel_id,ChannelID
JSONParse>sJSON,$..fee_base_msat,feebase
JSONParse>sJSON,$..fee_rate_milli_msat,feerate
I note you have more than one feebase/feerate per channel so depends how you want to parse it out.

Eg feerate for node1_policy:

Code: Select all

JSONParse>sJSON,$..node1_policy.fee_rate_milli_msat,feerate

Thanks both! I think I prefer hagchr's method but both work. I realized I was looking at an anonymous array but was unsure of the syntax required to parse the array elements.

I am now able to do what I wanted.

Thanks again.
