I am trying to grab a sub-item with a column in a formula, in this case “HTTP API - UL - Get Timing”, however for some reason it’s missing the ‘5 items’ subtext like the item above it, so I can’t actually pull in what I need to pull in. Why is this happening? I need to specifically pull in one of the items but none are showing up

The issue might be related to how Clay is parsing the API response. To troubleshoot: 1. Check the "Field Paths to Return" setting in your HTTP API integration. Ensure it correctly specifies the data you need. 2. Inspect the cell details to see if any data is actually present: • Open your table • Click on the cell you want to view 3. Review your JSON formatting, especially for dynamic variables. To help further, could you please copy and paste your complete JSON response into the chat? This will allow us to identify any specific formatting issues or data structure problems.
There is nothing in the field paths to return for this GET request or the associated POST request. Could you provide what I need?
To return the required data for your GET and POST requests in Clay, you should use the "Field Paths to Return" option. Here's how to use it:
1. In your HTTP API integration setup, locate the "Field Paths to Return" field.
2. Enter the specific field paths you want to retrieve, separated by commas.
3. For nested parameters, use dot notation (e.g., object1.object2.name).
This approach helps filter out unnecessary data and retrieve only what you need. For example, if you want to get the 'id' and 'result' fields from your JSON response, you could use: LBKSid,result.research.steps,result.qualification.scoreLBKSIf you're still having trouble, please copy and paste your complete JSON response into the chat so we can provide more specific guidance.
