Read all the pages of a JSON file

[sebastienH]

Hello,

I would like to read a JSON file. But with the URL I only access to the first page (the file is paginated). I would like to read ALL the pages.

With Talend I do a loop, but whith JSON I don't know. Can I get help ?

Thank you very much

Hi Sebastien,

Could you provide more details about this JSON file and where it's located? Are you using a download recipe or how are you trying to ingest this data into your Flow in DSS? 

Thanks,

Andrew

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

I get the JSON by URL https://porta....

I can only give the end of the url :

e5e3&query_id=735&offset=0    for the first page

e5e3&query_id=735&offset=1    for the second page

etc. There are thousands pages.

I tried a download recipe, but I can’t use « add another source » for each page. Too many pages.

Is it possible to do a loop ?

Thank you

Hi Sebastien,

Your best bet might be to create your own code recipe, such as python, where you could handle iterating through the different pages to read in the necessary data, create your own dataframe, and then write this dataframe as an output into a dataset in DSS. 

Best,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your answer. I will use a python recipe without input. I thought that an input was necessary, but it's not.

Thank you,

Best,

Hi Sebastien,

That's correct. For code recipes, only an output is necessary (even if it's a dummy output). 

Thanks,

Andrew
