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

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

 


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.


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!

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.
