I am working with an external API, and if the result contain one items it return it as object, if multiple items it return it as an array. so how i can check if the return is of type object and to convert it to an array of single item? so i can pass it to Filter Array action

Hi @johnjohnPter,

Try the following:

Use the array function to convert the response to an array:

array(variables('response'))

A single object:

{ "Name": "Ellis" }

should get returned as an array:

[ { "Name": "Ellis" } ]

And an array:

[ { "Name": "Karim" } ]

should simply be returned as the array:

[ { "Name": "Karim" } ]
