Returning Multiple Records with GENERIC API Function

Liberty Create - Build Advice
1

Unfortunately due to security requirements I need to use Generic APIs.

I cannot find a way to retrieve separate multiple records in a response payload.

My base object is of the type of records I want to retrieve.

I cannot get round these strange inline wrappers being added to everything and therefore I’m getting coma separated values in the output not individual records with properties as I would normally.

What’s the deal here ?

Thanks

Haydn

This format is definitely not going to work :wink:

How would you like the data returned? As an array? e.g

{
  "data": [
    {
      "unique_id": 299161
    },
    {
      "unique_id": 299271
    },
    {
      "unique_id": 299347
    },
    {
      "unique_id": 299383
    }
  ]
}

Then you need to supply a response template. If you are wanting a list of “unique_id” properties from the base object then instead of dragging over “unique_id” scroll down the right hand pannel and click “+” in templates.
Add the following to the template:

{
      "unique_id": <<unique_id>>
}

Dragging and dropping the “unique_id” property instead of “<<unique_id>>”.

Now save this template and drop it into the original response:

{
  "data": [<<drop template here>>]
}

That should hopefully achieve what you want :slight_smile:

Thanks for your response - guess ill continue to play around for a bit then with my syntax.

Pretty much after your first example.

Thanks again Neil.
