I am very new to Javascript but I will try to put this in convenient way. I am having this api where I am fetching the rank of a crypto (Ripple; currently ranked 7 and is subject to change overtime ), code below:
function myFunction() {
var url = "https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/coins/xrp-xrp";
var XRPresponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var XRPjson = XRPresponse.getContentText();
var XRPdata = JSON.parse(XRPjson);
var XRPrank = XRPdata.rank;
}
Now this is another function for an api where I extract other infos (having 5000+ crytos listed, including ripple)
function myXRP() {
var url = "https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/tickers";
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var json = response.getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(json);
var XRP = data[7].symbol;
// Here instead of [7], I need to put the value extracted from XRPrank above so that whenever the rank is changed I get the latest value on data.[].
If someone could please advise.
In JavaScript there are several ways to achieve what you are looking for. The following is an adaptation of your current code with what I think are the minimal changes that you have to do, 1. use return followed by XRPrank 2. Call myFunction from myXRP and replace the data index by XRPrank.
function myFunction() {
var url = "https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/coins/xrp-xrp";
var XRPresponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var XRPjson = XRPresponse.getContentText();
var XRPdata = JSON.parse(XRPjson);
var XRPrank = XRPdata.rank;
return XRPrank; // add this
}
function myXRP() {
var url = "https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/tickers";
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var json = response.getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(json);
var XRPrank = myFunction(); // add this
// var XRP = data[7].symbol; instead of this
var XRP = data[XRPrank].symbol; // use this
}
