Would be cool to have a macro that iterates through JSON groups. Thanks!

This one was fun, thanks. Even got some ideas how to utilize web scraping at work.

I ended up just regexing the downloaded JSON instead of splitting it by rows with the JSON tool.

I couldn't figure out how to get the StripQuotes formula to strip the quotes so I've got a workaround.  Going to see how everyone else did it!

Similar to solution but I specifically filtered for "dataset.column_names." and "dataset.data.".

 

I guess the regex solution of [word].[word].[digit] is more generic but not sure that every json file where that is the pattern only refers to column names and data values.

Interesting challenge, really enjoyed this one as API downloads are quite a new concept to me!
