Google maps API and JSON format

Hi all,

 

I'm building a flow that sends an API request via HTTP GET to google's maps API in order to get a trip duration from one destination to another. 

 

Everything works so far, however when i get the response back  from google i get the JSON in a schema that doesn't seem to let me select the particular property that I'm after.

 

What I'm trying to isolate is the duration_in_traffic element from the JSON. Can anyone help me out with this? I've tried PARSE JSON without success.

 

Here is the output from the HTTP request:

 

{
  "destination_addresses": [
    "10 Walker St, Braeside VIC 3195, Australia"
  ],
  "origin_addresses": [
    "64 Cochranes Rd, Moorabbin VIC 3189, Australia"
  ],
  "rows": [
    {
      "elements": [
        {
          "distance": {
            "text": "10.4 km",
            "value": 10394
          },
          "duration": {
            "text": "14 mins",
            "value": 850
          },
          "duration_in_traffic": {
            "text": "14 mins",
            "value": 865
          },
          "status": "OK"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "status": "OK"
}

 

How can i get the value of 14 mins?

 

Thanks.

    Hi!

    I would try withthe following WDL expression

     

    first(first(body('HTTP')?['rows'])?['elements'])?['duration']?['text']

     

    Hope this helps
