I have JSON response.
result = {
"owner":{
"uid":"bb4123ac7950435eb516e2a47940b675",
"firstName":"Tester",
"lastName":"Test5577"
}
}
I am trying to extract "uid" but getting the following error.
Ruby : TypeError: can't convert String into Integer
My code is:
@jdoc =JSON.parse(result)
@uid = @jdoc.fetch("owner").first.fetch("uid").to_i() #Getting error here.
Would be very grateful for your support.
A small change in your code should get the right data:
@jdoc = JSON.parse(result)
@uid = @json['owner']['uid'] #=> "bb4123ac7950435eb516e2a47940b675"
Also, you're trying to convert a string: "bb4123ac7950435eb516e2a47940b675" into integer: to_i() in your code. Which would be 0 as uid is a string of alphanumeric characters, and not a combination of some random numbers/integers. I would suggest that you save that information in a varchar column instead.
Can you please print what's inside @jdoc after JSON.parse(result)
btw the uid contain string so you'll receive 0 as ouput with integer
"bb4123ac7950435eb516e2a47940b675".to_i => # 0
"111".to_i => # 111
you can access uid as follows:
@jdoc = JSON.parse(result)
@uid = @json['owner']['uid']
@uid = Integer(@uid) rescue 0
You can try this. I hope this will help you.
@uid = @jdoc.fetch("owner").first.fetch("uid").to_i()
## OUTPUT
# If you do it like this you will get follwing error
TypeError: can't convert String into Integer
But if you will do following you will get desire result.
@uid = @jdoc.fetch("owner").fetch("uid")
##OUTPUT
"bb4123ac7950435eb516e2a47940b675"
