Question

How to extract fields from a JSON array for use in Zapier

hello all, 

 

forgive my noob question. 

 

I am working on a zap which starts with an image file in box.  uses Extracta.ai to extract text fields from the image and then performs a Apify google image search from the text fields extracted from the image file.   

 

I’ve built the zap  up to the Apify actor call -  Which returns a Json URL listing.   When I open the link in a browser I see it contains good Json data for 4 entries in an array. This is want I think I want..   from Then... I’m lost, how to manipulate the data from the Json file or get it into Zapier to be used. 

 

Question:  how to take a Json URL link containing the array. and strip out the URL fields I need to continue with my automation. 

 

Desired result -  using the Json array URL link,  extract a field from the array instances for example

instance 1 “image url” and map it to zapier field “image URL1”

 

I have tried web hooks ‘get’,  loops,  and code by zapier.    I’m just not that skilled yet. 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice

Pete

Hi ​@Belfanti machine works 

Help us have more info by posting screenshots showing:

  • how your Zap steps are outlined
  • how your Zap steps are configured in the CONFIGURE tab while in EDIT mode
  • the DATA OUT from the Zap step that has the JSON you want to parse
