Microsoft power automate: JSON "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I am attempting to create a JSON Object from an array to pass into a Microsoft product. The format in which the JSON object is accepted is shown beneath (content-type: "application/json"):
{
"value": [
{
"activityGroupNames": [],
"confidence": 0,
"description": "This is a canary indicator for demo purpose. Take no action on any observables set in this indicator.",

}
]
}
I making use of an inline code script in Microsoft automate that performs the following in JavaScript:
var threat = workflowContext.actions.Compose.outputs;
var value = Object.values(threat);
return value;
The workflowContext.actions.Compose.outputs line pulls an array consisting of objects shown in the following snippet:
[{"id": "1", "activityGroupNames": "test2"}, {"id": "2", "activityGroupNames": "test3"}, {"id": "3", "activityGroupNames": "test4"}]
This is my output:
{
"body": [
{
"id": "1",
"action": "alert",
"activityGroupNames": "test2"
},
{
"id": "2",
"action": "alert",
"activityGroupNames": "test3"
},
{
"id": "3",
"action": "alert",
"activityGroupNames": "test2"
}
]
}
it is pretty much identical to the format described my Microsoft shown in the first snippet. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/tiindicator-submittiindicators?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http) at the bottom.
I am unsure as to how I can change the key name from "body" to "value" and think maybe this will resolve my issue. Either way, I'd appreciate any other help on the matter, if any more context is required, please ask.
EDIT: The image beneath shows that the returned return value; is in fact being used as the input for a POST request to the Microsoft graph API

Differences with API's when trying to pull data

I am having difficulty with a pulling some data from an API for a school project using Jquery.
If I use the following coinmaketcap API I get the following response
https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/bitcoin/
[
{
"id": "bitcoin",
"name": "Bitcoin",
"symbol": "BTC",
"rank": "1",
"price_usd": "8854.92",
"price_btc": "1.0",

"percent_change_24h": "0.12",
"percent_change_7d": "8.3",
"last_updated": "1524459272"
}
]
I get am able to get the symbol for Bitcoin and place it into a variable by using this code
> $.getJSON('https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/btc/',
> function(data){
> var symbol = (data[0].symbol)
> })
Once I have it I can place it in a div.
However when I use cryptocompare API I don't get anything back
https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/coin/generalinfo?fsyms=BTC,&tsym=USD
$.getJSON('https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/coin/generalinfo?fsyms=BTC&tsym=USD', function(data){
var symbol = (data[0].Internal)
});
This is the response -

}
}
]
}
Why is the second piece of code not working? Please help!

The second API is returning an object (in JSON format), not an array - see how the first character is { and how it has keys and values? You need to access the appropriate property to get the value you want. [0] notation indicates you're trying to access the first element of the array, but the outer object is not an array in this situation.
$.getJSON('https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/coin/generalinfo?fsyms=BTC&tsym=USD',
function(data){
var symbol = data.Data[0].CoinInfo.Internal;
});

In both the cases, we are getting data in different form. So, To get the 'BTC' in variable .
for 1st case -> symbol = data[0] ['symbol']
for 2nd case -> symbol = data['Data'][0]['CoinInfo']['Internal']
one is an [array of JSON] while other is an [object having key 'Data' with array value].

AngularJs appending options to select box

I am new to AngularJs. I am having problem in appending options to select boxes created by javascript. Following is my code.
var inputElements = $('<div><label style="float:left;">' + i + '</label><select ng-model="object" class="form-control sel" style="width:300px; float:right; margin-right:75px;"> <option>select</option></select></div></br></br>');
var temp = $compile(inputElements)($scope);
$('#projOrder').append(temp);
$scope.object = object;
//for(var opt=0; opt<selOptLabels.length; opt++) {
$('.sel').append('<option ng-repeat="obj in object" value="'+
{{obj.value}}+'">'+{{obj.value}}+'</option>');
I am getting this error:- SyntaxError: invalid property id
Hi, I am posting json example. This is just a small part of json in my case.

"label": "Miner Project"
}
]
},
"WORK data in GB": {
"value": "100",
"id": "NUM_15523_55"
}
}
Now I have to create input fields and dropdown menus(if there is a dropdown menu) with json data

You really should not be hand-constructing HTML like that. It's best if you use a template and let the template engine handle the heavy lifting.
I also noticed that you're using object as the ng-model. Instead you should have a separate variable which will hold the selected value.
Here's a better way of doing this--in an .html file:
<div ng-repeat="object in listOfObjects"
<label style="float: left">{{ $index }}</label>
<select ng-model="selectedValues[$index]" class="form-control sel"
style="width:300px; float:right; margin-right:75px;"
ng-options="obj.value for obj in object"></select>
</div>
Then in whatever controller you have set up in JavaScript:
// this will be the list of selected values
$scope.selectedValues = new Array(list.length);
// this would be the array that each `object` is part of
$scope.listOfObjects = list;
This isn't the most elegant solution, but basically what I've done is construct an array that is the same length as the list of objects. Angular templates have a special variable $index when you're in an ng-repeat which tracks the current index of the array you're looping through.
So when a user changes the selected value of the 3rd select box (index 2), $scope.selectedValues[2] would be set to the selected option.
EDIT: on transforming the JSON to an array:
var list = Object.keys(json).map(function(jsonKey) {
return {
name: jsonKey,
label: json[jsonKey].label,
value: json[jsonKey].value
};
});`

So.. there are a number of reasons why that won't work. The provided code wouldn't even work because of the template brackets that you are trying to append to your html string...
$('.sel').append('<option ng-repeat="obj in object" value="' +{{obj.value}}+'">'+{{obj.value}}+'</option>');
Is there a reason that you are trying build your markup in js?
It's also advised not to use jquery inside angular controllers. If you have jquery loaded the jQuery object is available through angular.element, otherwise angular uses jQuery light.
Rather than enumerate on the other issues here, I put together this basic example of how a select works in Angular
https://codepen.io/parallaxisjones/pen/BRKebV
Also, you should consult the angular documentation before posting questions to stack overflow. The docs provide a pretty clear example of how to use ng-repeat in a select. https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/select
EDIT: I updated my codepen with an example of fetching JSON data with an HTTP GET request
EDIT: updated codepen with provided data example, iterating over object with (key, value) in json syntax in ng-repeat

How to get specific array from JSON object with Javascript?

I am working with facebook JS SDK which returns user's information in JSON format. I know how to get the response like response.email which returns email address. But how to get an element from a nested array object? Example: user's education history may contain multiple arrays and each array will have an element such as "name" of "school". I want to get the element from the last array of an object.
This is a sample JSON I got:-
"education": [
{
"school": {
"id": "162285817180560",
"name": "Jhenaidah** School"
},
"type": "H**hool",
"year": {
"id": "14404**5610606",
"name": "2011"
},
"id": "855**14449421"
},
{
"concentration": [
{
"id": "15158**968",
"name": "Sof**ering"
},
{
"id": "20179020**7859",
"name": "Dig**ty"
}
],
"school": {
"id": "10827**27428",
"name": "Univer**g"
},
"type": "College",
"id": "9885**826013"
},
{
"concentration": [
{
"id": "108196**810",
"name": "Science"
}
],
"school": {
"id": "2772**996993",
"name": "some COLLEGE NAME I WANT TO GET"
},
"type": "College",
"year": {
"id": "1388*****",
"name": "2013"
},
"id": "8811215**16"
}]
Let's say I want to get "name": "some COLLEGE NAME I WANT TO GET" from the last array. How to do that with Javascript? I hope I could explain my problem. Thank you

Here is a JsFiddle Example
var json = '{}' // your data;
// convert to javascript object:
var obj = JSON.parse(json);
// get last item in array:
var last = obj.education[obj.education.length - 1].school.name;
// result: some COLLEGE NAME I WANT TO GET

If your json above was saved to an object called json, you could access the school name "some COLLEGE NAME I WANT TO GET" with the following:
json.education[2].school.name

If you know where that element is, then you can just select it as already mentioned by calling
var obj = FACEBOOK_ACTION;
obj.education[2].school.name
If you want to select specifically the last element, then use something like this:
obj.education[ obj.education.length - 1 ].scool.name

Try this,
if (myData.hasOwnProperty('merchant_id')) {
// do something here
}
where JSON myData is:
{
amount: "10.00",
email: "someone#example.com",
merchant_id: "123",
mobile_no: "9874563210",
order_id: "123456",
passkey: "1234"
}
This is a simple example for your understanding. In your scenario of nested objects, loop over your JSON data and use hasOwnProperty to check if key name exists.

How to access the data from return JSON from webservice in javascript or jquery

Hi i have a return json data which returns the webservice
The structure of webservice is like that:
jsonp1332655154667({"products": [{"uid": "37",

I have three "tag" elements. but when we access the products.tag it gives always last element like:s_arts.
Is there any way to find out all the elements eg:s_science,s_maths,s_arts.
please help.

It is invalid json, your tag should be:
...,
"tag": ["s_science", "s_maths", "s_arts" ],
...
Then product.tag would be an array that you could access successfully
Regards

If you have multiple keys in the same object, you're going to get undefined behaviour. Only one will be preserved, and since pairs are not ordered, you can't guarantee which you'll get.
In short: the webservice is returning you faulty data. If multiple tags are expected, the service should return an array of values in the tag attribute:
...
"tag":["s_science", "s_maths", "s_arts"],
...

You need to send the tags as an array:

"s_maths"'
"s_arts"

Then you reference them as data.tags[0], data.tags[1], data.tags[2].

if your response is in this format
YourResponse = {
"products" : [
{"uid" :"5", ......., "whtever":"someval"},
{"uid" :"6", ......., "whtever":"someval1"}
]
};
you can use this
$(YourResponse).each(
function(objName, objValue) {
console.log(objName); // wil get object name like uid, whtever
console.log(objValue); // wil get object's value
});
so to get Tags you will have to take Tuan's suggestion; send them in array
