View profile · 18-11-2020

Hi Team,

Below is the code

var http = new HttpClientRequest("https://secure.mcommons.com/api/profile_update?phone_number=1234567890");
http.header["UserName"] = 'username';
http.header["Password"] = 'password';
http.header["Authorization"] = "Basic YXJjc3VwcG9ydEBzcGVyaWRpYW4uY29tOlNwZXJpZGlhbjIwMjE=";

http.header["Content-Type"] = "application/json";

http.method = "GET"
http.execute();

var r = http.response;
logInfo(r.body);

below is the response i get

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <response success="true"> <message id="11787545911" type="generic" status="sent"> <phone_number>1234567890</phone_number> <profile>123456</profile> <body>Hello</body> <sent_at>2020-11-18 12:08:16 UTC</sent_at> <message_template_id/> <mms>false</mms> <multipart>false</multipart> <campaign id="12345" active="true"> <name> Testing</name> </campaign> </message> </response>

Here i need to read success, messageid, type, status, phone_number etc...

How Can we achieve it?

Thanks,

Sachin

Hi @sachincs1991 - you can parse the response as a DOMDocument and get the Elements and Attributes from there in the Javascript

e.g.

...
var doc = DOMDocument.fromXMLString(r.body);
var responseNode = doc.getElementsByTagName("response")[0];
var success = responseNode.getAttribute("success");
...

Cheers
