Question

So I’m using Yahoo’s API to translate coordinates to a zip code. The JSON it returns is this:

{
"ResultSet": {
    "version": "1.0",
    "Error": 0,
    "ErrorMessage": "No error",
    "Locale": "us_US",
    "Quality": 99,
    "Found": 1,
    "Results": [{
         ....
     }]

What I am doing is:

$.getJSON("http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?q=" + lat + ",+" + lon + "&gflags=R&flags=J", function(data){
            console.log(data.ResultSet.Results.postal);
        });

What I listed above obviously doesn’t work. My question is: how do I access the data within the Results array?

Thanks

Answer 1

as Results is an array does changing the console log line to the following work?

console.log(data.ResultSet.Results[0].postal)

In which case just loop through the array to get each each element. The code to get JSON looks fine to me, I assume you just missed the array element bit 🙂
