'How do I search for a particular object within an array of JSON objects using postman
How do I query for a particular BusStopCode from within a JSON object in a JSON array
"value": [
{
"BusStopCode": "01012",
"RoadName": "Victoria St",
"Description": "Hotel Grand Pacific",
"Latitude": 1.29684825487647,
"Longitude": 103.85253591654006
},
{
"BusStopCode": "01013",
"RoadName": "Victoria St",
"Description": "St. Joseph's Ch",
"Latitude": 1.29770970610083,
"Longitude": 103.8532247463225
},
for example if I want to find only the first object then the bus stop code I would query is 01012
my current URL query request looks like this- http://transport/dataservice/BusStops?BusStopCode=01012
here http://transport/dataservice/BusStops is my URL
and ?BusStopCode=01012 is my path

You can filter your response data using JSONpath Visualizer in Postman.
To enable the Visualizer, please paste the following code in the Test section of Postman where you are creating your request.
let template = `
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/jsonpath.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div>
<input id="filter" style="width:450px;" type="text" placeholder="Example query: $..name.first">
</div>
<div>
<button id="resetButton" style="background-color:red;color:white;">Reset</button>
<input id="showErrors" type="checkbox" value="1"/>
<span class="item-text" style="font-family:courier;">Show Evaluation Errors</span>
</div>
<div id="errors" style="font-family:courier;color:red;display:none;"></div>
<div>
<p id="content" style="font-family:courier;color:green;font-size:18px;"></p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script>
pm.getData( (error, value) => {
const extractedData = jsonpath.query(value, '$');
$(function() {
$('#filter').keyup(function() {
try {
let filteredData = jsonpath.query(extractedData, $(this).val());
$("#content, #errors").empty();
$("#content").append("<pre><code>" + JSON.stringify(filteredData, null, 4) + "</code></pre>");
} catch (err) {
console.info(err);
$("#errors").empty();
$("#errors").append("<pre><code>" + err + "</code></pre>");
}
});
});
$( "#resetButton" ).click(function() {
$("#content, #errors").empty();
$("#filter").val('');
$("#content").append("<pre><code>" + JSON.stringify(extractedData, null, 4) + "</code></pre>");
})
})
$(function() {
$("#showErrors").on("click",function() {
$("#errors").toggle(this.checked);
});
});
</script>`
pm.visualizer.set(template, pm.response.json())
Here is the example.
