Build JSON Array from Thing and Referenced List of Things and Post to External Endpoint

Need help APIs
1

Hello,

I have been really struggling finding a way to build a JSON out of a Thing, where the Thing references a list of other Things. Essentially this is what I want…

Building a JSON of THING A and then sending that JSON to an external endpoint to handle.

{
“Thing A Field 1” : “Thing A Field 1 Value”,
“Thing A Field 2” : “Thing A Field 2 Value”,
“Thing A Field 3 (List of Thing Bs)”:[{“Thing B1 Field 1”:“Thing B1 Field 1 Value”, “Thing B1 Field 2”:“Thing B1 Field 2 Value”,“Thing B1 Field 3 (List of Thing Cs)”:[{…}]}, {“Thing B2 Field 1”:“Thing B2 Field 1 Value”, “Thing B2 Field 2”:“Thing B2 Field 2 Value”,“Thing B2 Field 3 (List of Thing Cs)”:[{…}]}]
}

And then POST this JSON externally using an API connector.

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Thank you!!

Hey @bhage,

We made JSONator to do just that - take Bubble lists and convert them into JSON arrays. :wink:

Hi @copilot, I can see only those plugins right now. Can you confirm?
I can see your link above.

Hey @JohnMark,

Bubble may be experiencing some issues, so try again soon. Keep support@bubble.is in the loop! :smirk:

@copilot I got the plugin downloaded but I cannot seem to be able to submit the JSON via API Plugin…

I used the “body” for json, or do I just use a field parameter?

Thank you!

@copilot i got the workflow to work but the referenced items are not in there. The Array is basically empty. It did not build a JSON with the details from the referenced things. Just says

{$pr_list_custom_people.list_api}

Hi @bhage,

The plugin handles taking a Thing or Things and turning it into a JSON Object or Array. The application of the plugin is on you. If you can reliably reproduce a bug, let us know at plugins@cobubble.com. :+1:

@bhage, yet another alternative is Toolbox, some working examples:

client side … https://toolbox-example.bubbleapps.io/version-test/lie-booklist
server side … https://toolbox-example.bubbleapps.io/version-test/serverscript
editor … https://bubble.io/page?id=toolbox-example
