That has been retrieved using an API. How can I get lets say, the first JSON Entries name value?

#2

You can use HttpService:JSONDecode() to decode retrieved JSON data to a table.

#3

How do I get the data though? Just the name value from the first entree.

#4

Same as how you get data from normal tables, in this case it would be:

local ProductTable = {
--Your JSONDecoded Table
}

function getProducts()
    local ReturnTable = {}
    for i, v in pairs(ProductTable) do
        ReturnTable[#ReturnTable + 1] = i
    end
end
#5

And what would that retrieve exactly?

#6

The name of products, like Boeing 737 V1 and Mercedes Econic Fuel Truck by your table above.

#7

and how would I let say get the dev product of the Boeing product?

#8

You use the id that you fetched

#9

what Id did I fetch? huh???

#10

Right here, you said that this is retrieved from an API

#11

And how do I get to the devproduct from here "Mercedes Econic Fuel Truck": {

#12

Simple manipulation will do

local ProductTable = {
--Your JSONDecoded Table
}

function getProducts()
    local ReturnTable = {}
    for i, v in pairs(ProductTable) do
        ReturnTable[i] = {devproduct = ProductTable[i]["devproduct"]}
    end
end
