"Got a two or more results with the id of..." - how to combine attributes to make the id unique?


I have a trigger call which returns results with an id value. I add to set it explicitly in the code as it wasn’t returned as the first attribute within each result. My code is as follows:

return z.request(options).then((response) => {
  response.throwForStatus();
  const results = response.json;

  const downloads = results["downloads"].map((item) => {
    return Object.assign(item, {
      id: item["id"],
    });
  });

The problem however is that it appears that the id’s are not always unique, which then throws the API invalid response error:

“Got a two or more results with the id of...”

This is an example of a result:

{
"date_downloaded": "2022-05-18T14:42:55.145Z",
"id": "string",
"asset_type": "string",
"product_type": "string",
"thumb_uri": "string",
"agreement_name": "string",
"product_id": 0,
"download_details": {
"download_notes": "string",
"project_code": "string"
}

My question: how could I set the Zapier item id to be a combination of the result’s id AND date_downloaded values so that it is always unique?

Hi @intelligencebankproduct - You could concatenate the id value with the date_downloaded value to construct a unique ID.

return z.request(options).then((response) => {
response.throwForStatus();
const results = response.json;

const downloads = results["downloads"].map((item) => {
const id = `${item.id}.${item.date_downloaded}`;
return Object.assign(item, {
id,
_id: item.id, // Real item id
});
});

return downloads;
});

 

Thanks a lot for this! How can I prevent this code from returning the array error instead:

- Results must be an array, got: undefined, (undefined)

Response example:

Hey @intelligencebankproduct  - Sorry I just noticed that I didn’t actually return the array. The code snippet is updated now.
