如何在 Google Apps 脚本中解析花括号 JSON？

Question

I have the following output coming from an API. How can I parse through this using Google Apps Script and get that output as a Google Sheets table?

I tried the following, but only getting Nulls.

var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
var text = response.getContentText();

for (i in text) {
  Logger.log(text[i]);
}

{
   "status":1,
   "complete":1,
   "list":{
      "3357271691":{
         "item_id":"3357271691",
         "resolved_id":"3357271691",
         "given_url":"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/features\/2021-06-15\/airbnb-spends-millions-making-nightmares-at-live-anywhere-rentals-go-away",
         "given_title":"",
         "favorite":"0",
         "status":"0",
         "time_added":"1623783338",
         "time_updated":"1623783338",

      }
   }
}

I believe your goal is as follows.

• You want to parse the retrieved values of text and put the data to Spreadsheet.

In this case, how about the following sample script? In this sample script, the values are parsed and create a 2-dimensional array, and the array is put to the Spreadsheet.

Sample script:

function myFunction() {
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
  var text = response.getContentText();

  // I added below script.
  var header = ["item_id", "resolved_id", "given_url","given_title","favorite","status","time_added","time_updated","time_read","time_favorited","sort_id", "resolved_title","resolved_url","excerpt","is_article","is_index","has_video","has_image","word_count","lang","top_image_url", "domain_metadata.name","domain_metadata.logo","domain_metadata.greyscale_logo","listen_duration_estimate"];
  var values = [header, ...Object.values(JSON.parse(text).list).map(o => header.map(k => {
    var temp = k.split(".");
    if (temp.length == 1) {
      return o[temp[0]] || "";
    }
    return o[temp[0]] && o[temp[0]][temp[1]] ? o[temp[0]][temp[1]] : "";
  }))];
  console.log(values) // You can check the created array.
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Articles"); // Please set the sheet name.
  sheet.getRange(1, 1, values.length, values[0].length).setValues(values);
}

• In this case, all values are put to the Spreadsheet. So, when you want to change the header, please modify it.

Note:

• This sample script supposes that your text value is the same as the value shown in your question. When the structure of the value is different, this script might not be able to be used. Please be careful about this.
