Hey, I got a problem with gettin data from an external API in Zapier, which is more nested within the API.

The data I am not able to get are the “Categories” under “JopOpening” (see screenshot attached), which are again having arrays of data, from which I would like to get the “name” Element and insert it within wordpress.

This should just be added as text elements seperated by “,” within a metafield of the wordpress post.

I also attached some screenshot of my zap, the second step was a try to reformat those data, but did not work.

Does anyone have an idea if and how this is possible?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards

Ronja

 

 

 

Hi @ronjabaumann 

Observation

You probably want to remove the static “profile” value on the right side.

 

@Troy Tessalone Yes thanks I also deleted this, did not see before. But the main problem is to get the data from the “categories” path, still do not know how to do this.

@ronjabaumann 

Try searching for the value of “professional” to narrow down the matching variables to match.

 

Hello again and sorry for the late reply.

I made some progress on the topic, but still did not manage to solve this.

Was able to extract some item list out of the array, but now I only want to get the terms after the highlightes numbers in my list and could not figure out, how to do this. Anyone has an idea?

@Troy Tessalone Thanks for your tips so far!

 

@ronjabaumann 

Since the data is output as an Array of items, you’d likely need to use a custom Code step to parse and prep that data.
