I'm trying to retrieve some data from the MediaWiki Api; especifically the registration date of a certain user. Taking Wikipedia as a live example, according to their Api sandbox, the request URL to get the information of Jimmy Wales would be:
/w/api.php?action=query&list=users&format=json&usprop=registration&ususers=Jimbo_Wales
So I make an Ajax call:
$.ajax({
dataType: "jsonp",
url: "/w/api.php?action=query&list=users&format=json&usprop=registration&ususers=Jimbo_Wales",
success: function (data) {
var timestamp = data.query.registration;
console.log(timestamp);
}
});
But if I run that script on Firebug, I simply get "undefined". What am I missing?
The resulting JSON data is something like:
{
"batchcomplete": "",
"query": {
"users": [
{
"userid": 24,
"name": "Jimbo Wales",
"registration": "2001-03-27T20:47:31Z"
}
]
}
}
Of course, data.query.registration is undefined. it is not available. Your have to "address" the user itself. Like data.query.users[0].registration.

I'm doing an AJAX GET request to an API that returns all stores in my area that offer express delivery. I need to check over the data to see if any store in the area offer express delivery but can't access the data properly to perform any check's and don't understand why.
A stripped back version of the data returned from the API is here:
{
"data": {
"service_eligibility": [
{
"accesspoint_list": [
{
"current_time": null,
"currency": null,
"accesspoint_id": "3242342-6dc1-43d8-b3d0-234234234234",
"service_info": {
"fulfillment_type": "DELIVERY",
"reservation_type": "SLOTS",
"dispense_type": "DELIVERY",
"priority": 0,
"carrier": "Owned",
"fulfillment_option": "DELIVERY",
"location_type": "Home",
"service_time": 0,
"is_recurring_slot": false,
"enable_express": false,
"is_unattended_slot": true,
"is_flex_slot": false
},
{
"current_time": null,
"currency": null,
"accesspoint_id": "234234242-3387-4e1d-9eaa-234234242",
"service_info": {
"fulfillment_type": "INSTORE_PICKUP",
"reservation_type": "SLOTS",
"dispense_type": "PICKUP_INSTORE",
"priority": 0,
"carrier": "NA",
"fulfillment_option": "PICKUP",
"location_type": "Store",
"service_time": 0,
"is_recurring_slot": false,
"enable_express": true,
"is_unattended_slot": false,
"is_flex_slot": false
},
"current_time": "2021-06-07T11:24:39Z",
"currency": "GBP"
},
"status_code": 200,
"status_message": "Requested input executed successfully."
}
The call I use to get my data:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
dataType: "json",
url: query,
data: "",
success: function(data)
{
//Check for express delivery
if(data.status_code == 200) {
console.log(data);
}
},
error: function(data)
{
//Check for API error
if(data.status == 400){
console.log(data.responseJSON.errors[0].message);
}
}
})
So far the data is being logged to the console. But when I try to access it or parts I want to use I get console errors.
I have tried copying the property path from the console and using it in the console.log:
console.log(data.service_eligibility[0].accesspoint_list)
but get the error message:
Cannot read property '0' of undefined
I have tried just data.service_eligibility but this just give me the error of undefined
In fact even if I just try to access data.currency I get undefined
Why can I not access the data being returned from the API?
type: 'GET',
dataType: "json",
url: query,
data: "",
success: function(data)
{
//Check for express delivery
if(data.status_code == 200) {
console.log(response.data.ervice_eligibility[0].accesspoint_list);
}
}
Looking at the above piece of code you have provided, it looks like, the data object that you are receiving in the success handler does not directly refer to the data object inside your received response. Given the names are same, it can be confusing.
I think if you try accessing the property inside the data object using data.data.service_eligibility, you will be able to access it. For some more clarity, see the code below:
type: 'GET',
dataType: "json",
url: query,
data: "",
success: function(response)
{
//Check for express delivery
if(response.status_code == 200) {
console.log(response.data.service_eligibility[0].accesspoint_list);
}
}
Just think about it, if your data is available inside the success handler, it means that the asynchronous action of fetching the data from the api has successfully completed. You can just debug the structure of your data object and find out what's missing or what's wrong in the way you are accessing a value. People can behave differently, code can never! :)
I want to get the data response from my login webservice. Here is my web service
http://41.128.183.109:9090/api/Data/getloginer?medid=a&pass=a
(for testing). Here is my code:
$("#login").click(function () {
var url = "http://41.128.183.109:9090/api/Data/getloginer?medid=a&pass=a";
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'Get',
success: function (data) {
alert(data.Medical_id);
},
});
});
The alert() shows me undefined. Please advise on what the problem could be.
The result is an array, so in order to get that field you have to iterate the result or get the first item:
for (var i in data) {
console.log(d[i].Medical_id);
}
Or you can simply get the first result:
$.ajax({
url: 'http://41.128.183.109:9090/api/Data/getloginer?medid=a&pass=a',
type: 'Get',
success: function (data) {
alert(data[0].Medical_id);
}
});
The JSON result you are getting is :
[{"$id":"1","id":8,"Medical_id":"a","Password":"a","Name":null,"Email":null,"gender":null,"Type":null}]
use for each to iterate through the results or
instead of this you can check the result like this :
var data = [{ "$id": "1", "id": 8, "Medical_id": "a", "Password": "a", "Name": null, "Email": null, "gender": null, "Type": null }]
alert(data[0].Medical_id);

I am new to Yii2 framework and PHP.I used Mongo DB as the backend database.I fetched a document from a collection and returned the data as Json from the controller.The data returned back is given below.
{
"55b08c383e1a36233fdbdc06": {
"_id": { "$id": "55b08c383e1a36233fdbdc06" },
"address": [ "abcdgt", "zxcv" ],
"age": "23",
"email": [ "qwert#gmail.com","abcd#mail.com" ],
"location": "kollam",
"name": "ajiths",
"phoneno": [ "9522585456", "7875642256" ] ,
"sex": "male"
}
}
But I am getting 'Undefined' when trying to alert result.name in Javascript code.The code at the front end is given below.
function loadClient(id){
url = "<?= Yii::getAlias('#serverpathweb')?>/client/showclient?id="+id;
$.ajax({
url: url ,
method: "GET",
success: function(result){
alert(result.name);
}
});
}
The code at the controller end is given below.
public function actionShowclient($id) {
$clientdetail = Yii::$app->mongodb->getCollection('client');
$result = $clientdetail->find(["_id" =>$id]);
Yii::$app->response->format = \yii\web\Response::FORMAT_JSON;
return $result;
}
Can anyone tell me how to get the value result.name.
your getting JSON result with id as key so access ur JSON data like this
first get the key of ur JSON using Object.keys
next using key print the values you need
var id=Object.keys(result)[0]; //it will print your JSON key i.e. "55b08c383e1a36233fdbdc06"
alert(result[id]['name']); // it will print the name
Note if you are getting multiple user details please let me know
Your "result" object is probably a String because you're not telling jQuery otherwise. Trying adding the option dataType:json to your request as in:
$.ajax({ url: url, method: 'GET', dataType: 'json', etc...
Edit: It also looks like there's a simple bug in your code. You need to access your property where it's nested in the resulting object:
result[id].name
I have a PHP function that echoes out JSON data and pagination links. The data looks exactly like this.
[{"name":"John Doe","favourite":"cupcakes"},{"name":"Jane Citizen","favourite":"Baked beans"}]
Previous
Next
To get these data, I would use jQuery.ajax() function. My code are as follow:-
function loadData(page){
$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
url: "http://sandbox.dev/favourite/test",
data: "page="+page,
success: function(msg)
{
$("#area").ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings)
{
$("#area").html(msg);
});
}
});
}
Using jQuery, is there anyway I can scrape the data returned from the AJAX request and use the JSON data? Or is there a better way of doing this? I'm just experimenting and would like to paginate JSON data.
It's better to not invent your own formats (like adding HTML links after JSON) for such things. JSON is already capable of holding any structure you need. For example you may use the following form:
{
"data": [
{"name": "John Doe", "favourite": "cupcakes"},
{"name": "Jane Citizen", "favourite": "Baked beans"}
],
"pagination": {
"prev": "previous page URL",
"next": "next page URL"
}
}
On client-side it can be parsed very easily:
$.ajax({
url: "URL",
dataType:'json',
success: function(resp) {
// use resp.data and resp.pagination here
}
});
Instead of scraping the JSON data i'd suggest you to return pure JSON data. As per your use case I don't think its necessary to write the Previous and Next. I am guessing that the first object in your return url is for Previous and the next one is for Next. Simply return the below string...
[{"name":"John Doe","favourite":"cupcakes"},{"name":"Jane Citizen","favourite":"Baked beans"}]
and read it as under.
function loadData(page){
$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
url: "http://sandbox.dev/favourite/test",
dataType:'json',
success: function(msg)
{
var previous = msg[0]; //This will give u your previous object and
var next = msg[1]; //this will give you your next object
//You can use prev and next here.
//$("#area").ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings)
//{
// $("#area").html(msg);
//});
}
});
}
This way return only that data that's going to change not the entire html.
put a dataType to your ajax request to receive a json object or you will receive a string.
if you put "previous" and "next" in your json..that will be invalid.
function loadData(page){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://sandbox.dev/favourite/test",
data: {'page':page},
dataType:'json',
success: function(msg){
if(typeof (msg) == 'object'){
// do something...
}else{
alert('invalid json');
}
},
complete:function(){
//do something
}
});
}
and .. in your php file, put a header
header("Content-type:application/json");
// print your json..
To see your json object... use console.log , like this:
// your ajax....
success:(msg){
if( window.console ) console.dir( typeof(msg), msg);
}
Change your json to something like this: (Use jsonlint to validate it - http://jsonlint.com/)
{
"paginate": {
"previous": "http...previsouslink",
"next": "http...nextlink"
},
"data": [
{
"name": "JohnDoe",
"favourite": "cupcakes"
},
{
"name": "JaneCitizen",
"favourite": "Bakedbeans"
}
]
}
You can try this :-
var jsObject = JSON.parse(your_data);
data = JSON.parse(gvalues);
var result = data.key;
var result1 = data.values[0];
I'm trying to get the hand on JQuery and JSON using an ASP.NET webservice. The Webservice returns this result:
{
MyResult: {
Ticket: {
"Author": "rd",
"CssClass": "RED",
"ExpirationDateTime": "2009-08-16T16:55:43.577+02:00",
"id": "38",
"Message": "We are going down",
"ModifiedDateTime": "2009-08-17T11:14:20.5+02:00",
"MoreInfo": null
}
}
}
On the client side I'm using JQuery to get the result using the ajax function like this:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "TickerFeeder.asmx/GetTicket",
data: "{}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(resultJSON) {
//-- Please fill your code here for getting the first item from the array into variables
}
But I'm missing out the stuff how to retrieve the first item from the JSON array into some variables. Something like this (pseudo-code):
var message = resultJSON[0].Message
var cssclass = resultJSON[0].CssClass
Anybody with a hint,help?
Thanks for your help
Cheers
Frank
Your JSON is not valid, you should use quotes on the MyResult and Ticket members.
{
"MyResult": {
"Ticket": {
"Author": "rd",
"CssClass": "RED",
"ExpirationDateTime": "2009-08-16T16:55:43.577+02:00",
"id": "38",
"Message": "We are going down",
"ModifiedDateTime": "2009-08-17T11:14:20.5+02:00",
"MoreInfo": null
}
}
}
Also there is no array involved, the arrays are defined with the square bracket characters [....] literal notation, so you can access your values directly:
resultJSON.MyResult.Ticket.Message;
resultJSON.MyResult.Ticket.CssClass;
Ok, found out that my Asp.Net webService was producing a wrong result set. So instead of returning a string item I returned a complete object and handled the Json conversion to Asp.Net webservice. That did the trick !
