I am learning some things about API calls in Javascript. For this, I make a call to the teleport api.
From there I get an Json object back. Now I would like to access the link which you can see in the "json object" below.
_embedded
city:search-results [25]
0
_links
city:item
href: https://api.teleport.org/api/cities/geonameid:2661552/
I have a problem with the "city:search-results" key, because I cant use a the ":" in the dotted notation.
so, how can I get the href value?
I hope its understandable, im sorry for the bad explanation. Thanks for your help!
I see how the JSON is returned. For this example, use bracket notation for city:search-results as
_embedded["city:search-results"][0]
And for accessing the href property:
_embedded["city:search-results"][0]["_links"]["city:item"]["href"]
Example code (with 2 city:search-results objects):
var _embedded = {
"city:search-results": [{
"_links": {
"city:item": {
"href": "https://api.teleport.org/api/cities/geonameid:1796236/"
}
},
"matching_alternate_names": [],
"matching_full_name": "Shanghai, Shanghai, China"
},
{
"_links": {
"city:item": {
"href": "https://api.teleport.org/api/cities/geonameid:745044/"
}
},
"matching_alternate_names": [],
"matching_full_name": "Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey"
}
]
};
console.log(_embedded["city:search-results"][0]["_links"]["city:item"]["href"]);
