Ruby string/array/json parsing issue

Ruby
1

Hey,

I am struggling with this one a bit, the following data is being returned by an API call and I am trying to break it out into the different parts. If we assume that data is stored in variable r, I have been trying code like puts r[‘abuse_type_id’] and it will return a string of abuse_type_id

What I want is the number 1 and for address I would want 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2

Any ideas? Thanks a lot

{“address”:“1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2”,“count”:2,“first_seen”:“2019-10-17 18:25:15”,“last_seen”:“2020-05-14 01:28:14”,“recent”:[{“abuse_type_id”:1,“abuse_type_other”:“Asking for money”,“description”:“Requesting money”,“created_at”:“2020-05-14T01:28:14.000000Z”},{“abuse_type_id”:2,“abuse_type_other”:null,“description”:“TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest”,“created_at”:“2019-10-17T18:25:15.000000Z”}]}

you can use object to parse it.

IRB is your friend:

require 'json'
i=  JSON.parse'{"address":"1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2","count":2,"first_seen":"2019-10-17 18:25:15","last_seen":"2020-05-14 01:28:14","recent":[{"abuse_type_id":1,"abuse_type_other":"Asking for money","description":"Requesting money","created_at":"2020
-05-14T01:28:14.000000Z"},{"abuse_type_id":2,"abuse_type_other":null,"description":"TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest","created_at":"2019-10-17T18:25:15.000000Z"}]}'
 => 
{"address"=>"1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2",
... 
3.0.0 :008 > i.keys
 => ["address", "count", "first_seen", "last_seen", "recent"] 
3.0.0 :009 > i.values
 => 
["1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2",
 2,
 "2019-10-17 18:25:15",
 "2020-05-14 01:28:14",
 [{"abuse_type_id"=>1, "abuse_type_other"=>"Asking for money", "description"=>"Requesting money", "created_at"=>"2020-05-14T01:28:14.000000Z"},
  {"abuse_type_id"=>2, "abuse_type_other"=>nil, "description"=>"TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest", "created_at"=>"2019-10-17T18:25:15.000000Z"}]]

hope this helps
