Extract JSON from Facebook Marketing API using XPATH in Talend

Question

currently I am extracting data from the Facebook Marketing API. I am Using an XPATH query in Talend Studio for the JSON i get via the API.

Since this is my first Job with JSON and XPATH I need some help with the following extraction:

At first a part of my JSON:

{
  "data": [
    {
      .
      .
      .
      "adsets": {
        "data": [
          {
           .
           .
           .
            "targeting": {
              "age_max": 60,
              "age_min": 18,
              "geo_locations": {
                "countries": [
                  "DE"
                ]
              },
              "facebook_positions": [
                "feed",
                "right_hand_column"
              ],
.
.
.

Now i want to extract from "facebook_positions" with XPATH:

"/data/adsets/data/targeting/facebook_positions"

with that XPATH query I only get "feed" as my result but I need "feed,right_hand_column" since there are no keys to the values like ' "age_max": 60' I am not able to extract the correct path.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you tried :-

//facebook_positions

OR

//facebook_positions[1] -> feed

//facebook_positions[2] -> right_hand_column

Example :-

Open below URL:

{
    "data": [{
        "adsets": {
            "data": [{

                "targeting": {
                    "age_max": 60,
                    "age_min": 18,
                    "geo_locations": {
                        "countries": [
                            "DE"
                        ]
                    },
                    "facebook_positions": [
                        "feed",
                        "right_hand_column"
                    ]
                }
            }]
        }
    }]
