Here is the code that im using to try get a single element out of the data.response of an api:
client.on("message", msg => {
var axios = require("axios").default;
var options = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://dad-jokes.p.rapidapi.com/random/joke',
headers: {
'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'dad-jokes.p.rapidapi.com',
'X-RapidAPI-Key': '0f787e5af5msh468814e0b585173p1cacafjsn7d774dfb44ff'
}
};
if(msg.content === "daddy"){
axios.request(options).then(function (response) {
console.log(response.data);
let dataDad = response.body
msg.channel.send(`${dataDad}`)
})`
and here is the response that i get from the api:
{
success: true,
body: [
{
_id: '60dd3729df8a37528bc79b03',
setup: 'How often do scientists check the table of elements?',
punchline: 'Periodically',
type: 'periodical',
likes: [],
author: [Object],
approved: true,
date: 1618108661,
NSFW: false
}
]
}
How do I use the "setup" from the response data in my code at msg.channel.send( "the "setup" ) ?
I believe, You need to do response.data.body[0].setup in order to get the first objects setup property
msg.channel.send(response.data.body[0].setup);
response.data.body is an array of objects. So, if you want to access the first object in that array, you would use response.data.body[0] So, to get the .setup property from that object, you would use this:
msg.channel.send(response.data.body[0].setup);
That will get you the setup property from the first object in the response.data.body array.
