Getting a list of the JSON Keys (Not the values) from a json object.

Trying to get a list out of planner of which labels have been applied to which tasks.

Planner returns the information as the following JSON object:

"appliedCategories": {
"category1": true,
"category3": true 
}

Labels that are not applied do not show up. Just the ones that are on the task.

I can't find a way to either:

Get a list of the keys, or
Find a way for the flow not to fail if a key doesn't exist.

Re: Getting a list of the JSON Keys (Not the values) from a json object.

Hi @Dramus,

I have similar requirement and contains did not work for me. Could you please share the solution that worked for you?

I need to check if keys like locationUri, locationType exist in the JSON response.

Condition contains(outputs('Invoke_an_HTTP_request'),'locationUri') did not help.

JSON Response
"location": {
"displayName": "",
"locationUri": "",
"locationType": "conferenceRoom",
"uniqueId": "",
"uniqueIdType": "directory",
"address": {
"street": "",
"city": "",
"state": "",
"countryOrRegion": "",
"postalCode": ""
},
"coordinates": {}
},
"locations": [
{
"displayName": "",
"locationUri": "",
"locationType": "conferenceRoom",
"uniqueId": "",
"uniqueIdType": "directory",
"address": {
"street": "",
"city": "",
"state": "",
"countryOrRegion": "",
"postalCode": ""
},
"coordinates": {}
}
],
Thanks,
SV

Found a way to do it with contains().

That was my conclusion too.

Maybe there is a way to use Filter Array and length() to see if the key exists.

Hi @Dramus,

I have made a test on my side and couldn't find a way to get a list of the JSON Keys from a json object.

I afraid that there is no any way to get a list of the JSON Keys from a json object in microsoft flow currently.

Best regards,

Alice
