JQuery get data from JSON array

This is part of the JSON i get from foursquare.

JSON

tips: {
    count: 2,
    groups: [
    {
        type: "others",

I need to get the last tip text , the user who wrote it and the date when he wrote/post it.

User: Damir P.

Date : 1314115358

Text: najjači fitness centar u gradu

I tried with JQuery and this works to fetch a non-array value:

$.getJSON(url, function(data){
    var text= data.response.venue.tips.groups.items.text;
    alert(text);
});

But it doesn't work with arrays.

Result : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'text' of undefined.

Also I tried with $.each, but with no effect.

$.getJSON(url, function(data){
    $.each(data.response.venue.tips.groups.items.text, function (index, value) {
        console.log(value);
    });
});

What am I doing wrong ?

You need to iterate both the groups and the items. $.each() takes a collection as first parameter and data.response.venue.tips.groups.items.text tries to point to a string. Both groups and items are arrays.

Verbose version:

$.getJSON(url, function (data) {

    // Iterate the groups first.
    $.each(data.response.venue.tips.groups, function (index, value) {

        // Get the items
        var items = this.items; // Here 'this' points to a 'group' in 'groups'

        // Iterate through items.
        $.each(items, function () {
            console.log(this.text); // Here 'this' points to an 'item' in 'items'
        });
    });
});

Or more simply:

$.getJSON(url, function (data) {
    $.each(data.response.venue.tips.groups, function (index, value) {
        $.each(this.items, function () {
            console.log(this.text);
        });
    });
});

In the JSON you specified, the last one would be:

$.getJSON(url, function (data) {
    // Get the 'items' from the first group.
    var items = data.response.venue.tips.groups[0].items;

    // Find the last index and the last item.
    var lastIndex = items.length - 1;
    var lastItem = items[lastIndex];

    console.log("User: " + lastItem.user.firstName + " " + lastItem.user.lastName);
    console.log("Date: " + lastItem.createdAt);
    console.log("Text: " + lastItem.text);
});

This would give you:

User: Damir P.
Date: 1314168377
Text: ajd da vidimo hocu li znati ponoviti

sroes

You're not looping over the items. Try this instead:

$.getJSON(url, function(data){
    $.each(data.response.venue.tips.groups.items, function (index, value) {
        console.log(this.text);
    });
});

I think you need something like:

var text= data.response.venue.tips.groups[0].items[1].text;

try this

$.getJSON(url, function(data){
    $.each(data.response.venue.tips.groups.items, function (index, value) {
        console.log(this.text);
    });
});
