SOAP API Parsing

💬 App Building
1

Hello!

I have a SOAP API that I'm reading and it gives the response below.

I need to extract 'average_size', 'enabled' & 'filestoreId'

How can I parse this so that it can be used in Retool?

Thanks,
Marcus

Hey @dev-engineer! Where would you like to use this data?

Following your nested data, this is the JS required to get to an object where each key is 'average_size', 'enabled' & 'filestoreId'. You'd replace data_return in my example with your_query.data.

You can throw this code into a query transformer (directly attached to your SOAP API query) and just reference data.

return _.pick(data_return.parsedXml['soap:Envelope']['soap:Body'][0]['ns4:listAllResponse'][0]['ns4:return'][0], ['average_size', 'enabled','filestoreId'])

My favorite way to figure out how to grab the correct selectors to unnest data is to paste the data into a JSON explorer component. You can easily collapse/expand each key to follow the trail :slight_smile:

Let me know if you have any questions at all!

Perfect, thank you!
