I need to retrieve data from a public API
I am new to snaplogic and I have an exercise where I need to retrieve data from randomuser.me/api/. I have to filter the data based on age and a few more things. Can someone tell me the basics and what can I use to filter the data? So far I get the data with the snap "REST Get" but I haven't found how to filter it. It seems like I have to retrieve this data 100 times because with every request the data will be different.
TheDev - I just did a quick search on the API you list above and it appears you can get multiple results in a single call:
https://randomuser.me/api/?results=100
I recommend you use a JSON Splitter to pull individual records out of the returned results array, then a Filter snap to reduce the data to your desired results. If you want to transform the records from there, use the Mapper snap.
If you are looking for a way to kick start into SnapLogic, register for an upcoming training workshop!
Hope this helps!
