Question:
I’ve been working with PowerShell to retrieves the results of an API call to Brightpearl as a JSON string:
I want to retrieve just the section called results….

"results":[[1,1,207,4,3,"2014-09-18T14:15:50.000-04:00",4,"#1014",2],[2,1,207,1,3,"2014-09-29T13:20:52.000-04:00",4,"#1015",2],[3,1,207,1,3,"2014-09-29T13:25:39.000-04:00",4,"#1016",2]]} |
Using ConvertFrom-Json($BpResults.Content), I get only the outer JSON….
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
PS C:> convertfrom-json $BPOrders.Content response reference -------- --------- @{metaData=; results=System.Object[]} @{orderTypeNames=; orderPaymentStatusNames=; orderStatusNames... |
I think maybe some of the rest would be obtainable by digging into the System.Object[]…but can’t figure out the syntax to access that. Ideally, I want to take the results to write out to .CSV file.
Any ideas?

ConvertFrom-Json $JSONObject |
then you can address them like:
