Jerry Clifft How do I take this HTTPResponse data and write to a Salesforce Object?
I am new to API Integration and I have a question. I did the trailhead for API Integration, but I did not learn the final part of what I needed.
The following code works just fine the developer console.
But what I really want to do is write (Create records, one per debug line) of this data to a new Salesforce Object call Animals in a field name TypeOfAnimal. Can someone please provide an example of how to do this please.
Thanks
Jerry
The following code works just fine the developer console.
Http http = new Http();
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
request.setEndpoint('https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals');
request.setMethod('GET');
HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
// If the request is successful, parse the JSON response.
if (response.getStatusCode() == 200) {
// Deserialize the JSON string into collections of primitive data types.
Map<String, Object> results = (Map<String, Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody());
// Cast the values in the 'animals' key as a list
List<Object> animals = (List<Object>) results.get('animals');
System.debug('Received the following animals:');
for (Object animal: animals) {
System.debug(animal);
}
}
I can use the debug screen to see all the "animals" that returned.But what I really want to do is write (Create records, one per debug line) of this data to a new Salesforce Object call Animals in a field name TypeOfAnimal. Can someone please provide an example of how to do this please.

Please modify your code as below.
Http http = new Http(); HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest(); request.setEndpoint('https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals'); request.setMethod('GET'); HttpResponse response = http.send(request); // If the request is successful, parse the JSON response. if (response.getStatusCode() == 200) { // Deserialize the JSON string into collections of primitive data types. Map<String, Object> results = (Map<String, Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody()); // Cast the values in the 'animals' key as a list List<Object> animals = (List<Object>) results.get('animals'); System.debug('Received the following animals:'); for (Object animal: animals) { System.debug(animal); Animal__c ani = new Animal__c(); ani.name=String.valueOf(animal); ani.TypeOfAnimal__c=String.valueOf(animal); insert ani; System.debug('ani'+ani); } }Hope this helps you!
