Having trouble with my output fields

Hello, I hope someone can help me out I am in a bit of a jam here! I got oauth 2 working and I have made a few API calls which has been fun, but I can’t get the data to format correctly with the output fields. You see I am doing trying to create an action search that does a batch GET request to grab all the user account Ids and 6 other items of account data points per user. The info I need from each is account ID, first name, last name, email, phone number and the extension ID, which I get in the response nice and separated by user. When I go to create a zap all the first name data that came in from the GET request are under one outputfield and the pattern is the same for all the other data points. I had come up with a solution for how to parse it after the fact, but the plan quickly fell apart as users who have more than one phone number per account threw all the parsing I built off. I switched over to code mode on the GET request to see if I could parse the data before it is returned

How do you define "API Documentation"

We are trying to publish our integration but one field is “API Documentation URL”. When we try to understand what you mean by this, we click on the guidelines here:https://platform.zapier.com/partners/document-support And this says “Coming Soon”…  We are being asked to provide a document but it’s not documented what Zapier wants. So is this meant to be a technical document or more user friendly guide on how to use our integration to make a zap. For example is it something like what LeadPages has done here: https://support.leadpages.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002382371-Integrate-Zapier-With-Leadpages ??? Some examples would be appreciated as I can’t tell what you really want. Also, where is this URL listed for each integration? I can’t find it for the example above - had to find it with a Google search…  Thanks,Peter

About the Developer Discussion forum

Welcome!The Developer area of the Zapier community is a place for dev-to-dev discussion about connecting your API to the Zapier Platform, and integrating Zapier into your product with our Partner API and embed SDK.  Bring your questions as you get started with our developer tools, building and testing your integration.  Share your expertise as a Zapier developer by answering questions and sharing your tips.  While Zapier engineers will certainly be hanging out here and participating in conversations, this forum is driven by community participation.  When you ask questions here be sure to share enough context so that another developer without access to the private details of your account can provide an answer that’s generally applicable to other developers with the same question.  So when should you ask a question here, and when should you contact Zapier support?Great questions for this community: “How can I do ____ with the Zapier developer tools?”  For example, “use my GraphQL API to

Calling an API method that returns an empty OK (200) or Bad Request (400)

Hi, Zapier allows Create and Search actions. But what about Do type actions? I have an API method that will be used at the end of a Zap (so does not need to pass anything to another action step).My API currently either returns an empty OK (200) or a BadRequest (400) with the error as a string.I currently get this:“Invalid API Response: - Got a non-object result, expected an object from create”How do I go about creating the action in the Zapier developer console re: dealing with the return result? I guess I have to switch to code mode but what would my code look like to deal with errors and OKs?My code currently looks like this:...return z.request(options)  .then((response) => {    response.throwForStatus();    const results = response.json;    // You can do any parsing you need for results here before returning them    return results;  }); Thank you,Steve

is it possible to loop paths ?

I use a API call to retrieve items in bulk , if there are more then 1000 entries , it gives me a __next option, I use paths to check if this __next option is returned and if true , I run a different API Call with this info.  but I need to run this call as many times as the response returns this __next option  , I can do this with paths, but I want to re run the last path as many times as necessary , otherwise I need to code more then 50 paths to be sure. . . .  is there a way to loop this ?  so , call api call 1   if response contains __next  run api call 2 if response contains __next  run api call 2  and so forth  So I want the path go back  and rerun the last path as many times as necessary

Create bank transaction in Xero

Hello,   I’d like to build a Zap that creates a bank/sales transaction within Xero, rather than an invoice. I know this is possible through the API, but the action isn’t available within the Xero Zapier app.   I wondered if it is possible for me to either extend the app, or build a new app on the Zapier platform to do this?   Any advice would be appreciated.   Many thanks Andy

How to paginate REST API for "Load More" in test triggers

Hey all,We have a Zapier trigger for “contract_signed”.When building a Zap, the test triggers are able to pull in 3 contracts as test data. However, as soon as one clicks “Load More”, an error, “We couldn’t find any more contracts” is thrown.  Taking a look at our Zapier app integration, we don’t have paging enabled for our trigger. So it looks like that might be the first step. The docs also mention that `bundle.meta.page` should be used.But where? In our Zapier scripting, we defined 2 functions for `get()` and plainGet()`We also have a variable defined as `var Zap` where we define `post_subscribe()`, `pre_unsubscribe()` and other get methods that utilize the 2 previously defined ‘get/plainGet’ methods. (e.g. `get_client: function(bundle) {return get("clients", bundle)}` Would we need to add the `bundle.meta.page` under our get/plainGet methods, like so?function get(resourceName, bundle) { var resource = z.JSON.parse(z.request({ method: 'GET', url: baseURL + '/' + res

Dropdown field in "Connect an Account" form

Hello :)   Im currently setting up a new integration and Im using Session Auth aside from username, password  and api_key, I also need the user to provide the country_code when creating a new connection, because we have different API for each country e.g au-api.domain.com for Australia us-api.domain.com for United States nz-api.domain.com for New Zealand uk-api.domain.com for United Kingdom The api url is being built dynamically based on the value of bundle.authData.country_code like   const options = { url: bundle.authData.country_code + '-api.domain.com/auth',   The Problem   when the user sets up a new connection, the country_code field shows up as a plain text field   our manager wants that field to be a dropdown which contains each of those countries (vs having to type manually the codes) I’ve been digging the documentation for quite sometime now, https://zapier.com/developer/documentation/v2/app-dev-guide/#authentication-configuration but cant find a way on how to make it a drop

Recommended way, REST hooks vs pagination?

Using REST hooks. I looked at one of the Github repositories, and it seems like it’s not super active - are REST hooks preferred over polling or?Thanks for helping me out :)

API Key authentication not working - what endpoint response is needed?

Hello. Im trying to build a zap from the CLI. We want to use an API Key as auth. We have generated some api keys to each user and only need to set it up on the zapier half. From the documentation i have setup the initial settings for API Key auth, you get prompt for a API key when you try to use this zap. However it doesnt seem to authenticate.. My question, what reponse from the endpoint called when entering the api key is needed for this to work? At the moment im returning the user in json format when you go the my /me endpoint. However im pretty sure its my endpoint thats wrong.. What should this /me endpoint look like and what should be returned? Hope someone can help out - thanks.

Validation error doesn't have enough details

I’m getting this validation error Field "Foo" has inconsistent type, "string" in sample of Zap 84344953 while "integer" in output field definition But this Zap is not mine, and I have no idea why it would have a string.  If I could get some more fields for the same item/sample, that would be useful.  Is that possible?   Also, when I press “re-run validation” it doesn’t seem to hit the server.  If it’s validating a stale response, then I’ve no idea how I can clear the error.

Why is my api request retrieving an array successfully in the developer but it is not in Zapier?

I built out a Search api request in the Zapier Developer and was able to successfully return an array.When I built a zap using this information it returned the same data, but gave an error saying that the data was returned as an object rather than an array. I have attached photos of both the Developer Workspace and the zap error code.One thing to note is that in the developer I am not getting any logs in the bundle, http, or console sections of the Test Your API Request section.

Is it possible to get previous steps data from an action programmatically from a Zapier platform application?

Hi.I’m building a Zapier application that has an action where the operation’s fields are dynamic fields that reference to other triggers, and then the results returned by the other triggers are injected in the z.bundle.inputData object so the subsequent triggers can use that user input data.However I would like to create a dynamic input field that points to a trigger that not only has access to the input data given by previous dynamic fields, but also it has access to the previous actions data, if the data is not possible maybe the metadata would be fine too.Is this even possible?Thank you very much.
