Hi, you can use a XML to JSON converter server side action, it’s quite easy to implement, and once you get it to JSON format or even then to a normal Javascript object you can do pretty much anything with it, here’s the code:

// so you grab the node library that gives this functionality
var convert = require('xml-js');  

//  now you convert the XML to JSON format
let result = convert.xml2json(xmlString, {compact: true, spaces: 4});

// Optional, do this only if useful (probably will be), now you convert that JSON to a normal Javascript object
let asObj = JSON.parse(result);

// do whatever you want with the object
console.log(asObj);

Is it possible to initialize a api request (xml) with the api connector and utilize the ‘XML-js’ library to parse the results? Or do the results need to come back in Json format?

Not possible to use what I provided from the API connector, only from a server side action.

whats a good way to accompish this? without having to use a 3rd party like webtask.io (parsing xml responses)

Using Bubble’s server side action feature, like I said… requires coding, however.

LOL. That doesn’t look easy to me. Where does one even begin to set something like that up?

Hahah well… create a new plugin, open it in the plugin editor, create an action, choose server side in the dropdown, paste that in the code area.

Then replace console.log(asObj); with the code that performs what you want done. Or even skip the optional step and use result which is the XML converted to JSON in a stringified form in case that’s what you want to work with.

This is the a hidden benefit of Bubble - you get to learn things as you go :smiley:

If you keep struggling, let me know, will try to walk you through it :slight_smile:

Hi @funwtp Very true. I’ve got a lot of the basic bubble actions figured out, but when it comes to anything beyond that I get lost pretty quickly. Thanks for your offer! I may take you up on it. :slight_smile:
