I’m trying to extract data from this API and this is what the structure looks like:
{
"wait_time": {

When I want to print the data to the console I get this:
"230404"
{
wait_time: {
port: [
[Object], [Object],
[Object], [Object],
[Object], [Object],
[Object], [Object],
[Object]
]
}
}
I want to acess the actual delay in port_id. This is what my code looks like to print the whole structure, but I’m not sure how to access the data:
const url=
' https://bciswebapi.azurewebsites.net/api/segmentcommercial'
//https://bciswebapi.azurewebsites.net/api/segmentpassenger
//'https://bwt.cbp.gov/api/waittimes'
async function getData(){
const response = await fetch(url)
const data= await response.json()
.then(data=>console.log(data))
}
getData()

If you want to extract all data from API on the log screen. You can use function util.inspect() when logging data.
console.log(util.inspect(data,{showHidden: false, depth: null}))If your goal is to simply print the data, then you can do
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2))But if your goal is to find the data for a specific port, then you have to do this,
data.wait_time?.port.find(p => p.port_id === "230404")
