How to load REST API key/value data?

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 21:55:49 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to get data from an API to load in QlikSense (using a REST connector).

The data comes from an OpenTSDB web service and looks like this:

[

{

"metric": "metric1",

"dps": {

"1503217340": 1

"1503217345": 1

"1503217350": 1

}

{

"metric": "metric2",

"dps": {

"1503217350": 1

"1503217355": 1

"1503217350": 1

}

]

How do I load the data such that the content of "dps" is loaded as a table?

All the Qlik examples assume the JSON data uses fixed attribute names.

I have no idea how to refer to the dps's key/values.

I was able to get this far:

RestConnectorMasterTable:

SQL SELECT

"__KEY_root",

(SELECT

-- How to access the key/value here?

"__FK_dps"

FROM "dps" FK "__FK_dps")

FROM JSON (wrap on) "root" PK "__KEY_root";

Can someone please help me finish this statement?

Thanks,

Jill

Can you try to convert first into XML?
