API download by looping through existing dataset

hello, 

 

I need to download JSON from API by looping through existing dataset.

 

Here is a link: https://atp-scraper.herokuapp.com/api/player_overview/Roger Federer

 

Instead of "Roger Federer" in the end I need to iterate through list of other players which I already have prepared.

 

So basically I need to download:

1) https://atp-scraper.herokuapp.com/api/player_overview/Roger Federer

2) https://atp-scraper.herokuapp.com/api/player_overview/Rafael Nadal

etc.

 

How I can achieve this please?

Hello @romanzdk1,

 

Try using this. You need to edit the macro to give you the results you want.

 

If not, try to run it and see the results

Thank you very much for your reply.

 

I tried to change macro to desired output, however I keep getting only first record (first URL only).

 

How to make it loop through whole "API" column please?

EDIT: I changed Output mode in the Batch macro settings and it works just fine. Thank you again.

Have you tried adding a Browse tool after the macro in your workflow?
