Parse JSON from a HTTP GET request

Posted on 30 Nov 2022 09:44:26 by AaronM-C 4

I'm working with a client that needs automatic reporting on per user licensing based on groups, this can be obtained manually but Automaticaly is causing me a head ache

 

So far I have designed a flow that pulls the users in a group from AAD and once its done that it checks each user against the MS graph   https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/@{items('Apply_to_each')?['id']}/licenseDetails

 

this element works fine, and Almost gives me what I need, the problem is it response in a JSON format with firstly allot more info than is needed but also in information that needs correlating.. (license type would appear as the below), this is a snip from the response. 

 

            "id": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
            "skuId": "71f21848-f89b-4aaa-a2dc-780c8e8aac5b",
            "skuPartNumber": "CPC_B_2C_8RAM_128GB",
            "servicePlans": [
                {
                    "servicePlanId": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
                    "servicePlanName": "M365_LIGHTHOUSE_PARTNER_PLAN1",
                    "provisioningStatus": "Success",
                    "appliesTo": "Company"
 
I have tried to use Parse JSON to allow me to retreieve the skuID and then using the below Schema but this fire out this error when I try 
 
InvalidJSON. The 'content' property of actions of type 'ParseJson' must be valid JSON. The provided value cannot be parsed: 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: L. Path '', line 0, position 0.'. 
 
{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "@@odata.context": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "value": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "id": {
                        "type": "string"
                    },
                    "skuId": {
                        "type": "string"
                    },
                    "skuPartNumber": {
                        "type": "string"
                    },
                    "servicePlans": {
                        "type": "array",
                        "items": {
                            "type": "object",
                            "properties": {
                                "servicePlanId": {
                                    "type": "string"
                                },
                                "servicePlanName": {
                                    "type": "string"
                                },
                                "provisioningStatus": {
                                    "type": "string"
                                },
                                "appliesTo": {
                                    "type": "string"
                                }
                            },
                            "required": [
                                "servicePlanId",
                                "servicePlanName",
                                "provisioningStatus",
                                "appliesTo"
                            ]
                        }
                    }
                },
                "required": [
                    "id",
                    "skuId",
                    "skuPartNumber",
                    "servicePlans"
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}
 
I need to first of all get the skuID and then I need to compare this against information available on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/enterprise-users/licensing-service-plan-reference to get the license name but this PARSE JSON doesnt seem to play ball, probably a simple error but hoping any of you could help.

    Re: Parse JSON from a HTTP GET request

    thanks. I got it. i did parse json but power automate automatically suggest you do something thats wrong. 

     

    iinstead of the correct:

    @body('Parse_JSON')?['value']'

    Parsing the JSON is your only way.

    Re: Parse JSON from a HTTP GET request

    messages?$filter=flag/flagStatus eq 'Complete' this works in send an http request

     

    this does NOT work in the get emails v3 search query/search filter property

     

    the problem is i do not know how to work with the 'send an http request' from outlook activity as the body is not iterable as its an object not an array and parsing the json is too complicated from the schema.

    Re: Parse JSON from a HTTP GET request

    Unfortunately that didnt work, MS graph refused the body request
    I managed to get a workaround though
