Handle JSON Object in XMLHttp response in Excel VBA Code

Question

I need to handle a JSON Object which is the response of XMLHTTPRequest in Excel VBA. I wrote the code below, but it doesn\'t work:

  Dim sc As Object
  Set s         


        

Answer 1

The code gets the data from nseindia site which comes as a JSON string in responseDiv element.

Standard Module

Const URl As String = "http://www.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/get_quote/GetQuote.jsp?symbol=ICICIBANK"
Sub xmlHttp()

    Dim xmlHttp As Object
    Set xmlHttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
    xmlHttp.Open "GET", URl & "&rnd=" & WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(1, 99), False
    xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml"
    xmlHttp.send

    Dim html As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
    Set html = New MSHTML.HTMLDocument
    html.body.innerHTML = xmlHttp.ResponseText

    Dim divData As Object
    Set divData = html.getElementById("responseDiv")
    '?divData.innerHTML
    ' Here you will get a string which is a JSON data

    Dim strDiv As String, startVal As Long, endVal As Long
    strDiv = divData.innerHTML
    startVal = InStr(1, strDiv, "data", vbTextCompare)
    endVal = InStr(startVal, strDiv, "]", vbTextCompare)
    strDiv = "{" & Mid(strDiv, startVal - 1, (endVal - startVal) + 2) & "}"


    Dim JSON As New JSON

    Dim p As Object
    Set p = JSON.parse(strDiv)

    i = 1
    For Each item In p("data")(1)
       Cells(i, 1) = item
       Cells(i, 2) = p("data")(1)(item)
        i = i + 1
    Next

 End Sub
