Hi, Make Experts,

I need help. After successful HTTP request. I get a return header as below. I wish to extract the “location” value which is “value”: “https://api.tinify.com/output/y863vpjw8eesd”. How can i do that? Appreciate your help.

    "headers": [
        {
            "name": "date",
            "value": "Wed, 08 May 2024 06:34:04 GMT"
        },
        {
            "name": "location",
            "value": "https://api.tinify.com/output/y863vpjw8eesd"
        }
    ],

Welcome to the Make community!

You can use the built-in functions map and first

e.g.:

{{ first(map(6.headers; "value"; "name"; "location")) }}

For more information, see “Mapping with arrays” below.

Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

Hi, Sam,

I have header as below, but the MAP function doesnt retrieve the URL correctly. what is going wrong?

“headers”: [
{
“name”: “location”,
“value”: “https://api.tinify.com/output/y863vpjw8ee”
},
]

Remove the double quotes.

Those only work if you copy the full code from my previous post, including the {{ }}

Not only that, I’m pretty sure value and name has to be lower case.

And you also forgot the first function.

Why not try copying my previous post and pasting it into your field?

If you want to manually type it in,

first(map({{6.headers}};value;name; location))
