Google Sheets Apps Script to ascertain who are the admins in a Telegram group – Telegram API

I am developing a Telegram bot and need to ascertain who are the admins in a group

Have developed a Google Web App using JavaScript and calling the following method
getChatAdministrators
Use this method to get a list of administrators in a chat. On success, returns an Array of ChatMember objects that contains information about all chat administrators

this method is returning the following:
[20-03-14 17:14:23:403 AEDT] 

{"ok":true,
 "result":
[{"user":{"id":810784352,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Rafael","last_name":"Vasconcelos"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false},
 {"user":{"id":1021450393,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Mauro","last_name":"Ramires"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false},
 {"user":{"id":998081853,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Filipe","last_name":"Lima"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false},
 {"user":{"id":962548471,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Trajano","last_name":"Roberto","username":"TrajanoRoberto","language_code":"en"},"status":"creator"},
 {"user":{"id":307271095,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Leandro","last_name":"Silva","username":"Leandro_CRF"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}
]
}

question:
I am struggling to find correct JavaScript syntax to read:
id, first_name & last_name
for the response returned by the method
getChatAdministrators

thanks in advance for any help.

    Assuming the above output object is in the variable obj, you could use the following snippet to log the details of each user:

     var results = obj.result;  
  if (results.length > 0) {
    for (var r in results) {
      var user = results[r].user;
      Logger.log([user.id, user.first_name, user.last_name])
    }
  }

    To understand this, if you parse the object (in a tool like this), all the users are in an array in result. And each user’s details are in user.

    It seems you are getting a JSON response from the request and it’s an object. So for getting id, first_name, last_name you have to inspect the response.

    Assume your request response is-

    let response = {"ok":true, "result": [{"user":{"id":810784352,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Rafael","last_name":"Vasconcelos"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}, {"user":{"id":1021450393,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Mauro","last_name":"Ramires"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}, {"user":{"id":998081853,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Filipe","last_name":"Lima"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}, {"user":{"id":962548471,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Trajano","last_name":"Roberto","username":"TrajanoRoberto","language_code":"en"},"status":"creator"}, {"user":{"id":307271095,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Leandro","last_name":"Silva","username":"Leandro_CRF"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}]};

    I don’t know but if it’s a JSON string then parse it so that the program not fails.

    if (typeof response === 'string') {
    response = JSON.parse(response);
}

    Here I check if the response is a string then parse the string as JSON.

    Finally, I have to iterate through the response as the required information is stored inside the result array’s user object.

    response.result.map(result => {
    console.log(result.user.id, result.user.first_name, result.user.last_name);
});

    I just console the values. You can do whatever you want.

    let response = {"ok":true, "result": [{"user":{"id":810784352,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Rafael","last_name":"Vasconcelos"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}, {"user":{"id":1021450393,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Mauro","last_name":"Ramires"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}, {"user":{"id":998081853,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Filipe","last_name":"Lima"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}, {"user":{"id":962548471,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Trajano","last_name":"Roberto","username":"TrajanoRoberto","language_code":"en"},"status":"creator"}, {"user":{"id":307271095,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Leandro","last_name":"Silva","username":"Leandro_CRF"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}]};

if (typeof response === 'string') {
	response = JSON.parse(response);
}

response.result.map(result => {
	console.log(`id: ${result.user.id}`, `first_name: ${result.user.first_name}`, `last_name: ${result.user.last_name}`);
});

    You can find id, first_name & last_name with help of map() function something like below snippet.

    var myArray = {"ok":true,"result":[{"user":{"id":810784352,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Rafael","last_name":"Vasconcelos"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false},{"user":{"id":1021450393,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Mauro","last_name":"Ramires"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false},{"user":{"id":998081853,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Filipe","last_name":"Lima"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false},{"user":{"id":962548471,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Trajano","last_name":"Roberto","username":"TrajanoRoberto","language_code":"en"},"status":"creator"},{"user":{"id":307271095,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Leandro","last_name":"Silva","username":"Leandro_CRF"},"status":"administrator","can_be_edited":false,"can_change_info":true,"can_delete_messages":true,"can_invite_users":true,"can_restrict_members":true,"can_pin_messages":true,"can_promote_members":false}]}

JSON.parse(JSON.stringify([myArray])).map(function(v,i) {
  v.result.map(function(v2, i2){
    console.log('ID:'+v2.user.id+' ==> First Name:'+v2.user.first_name+' ==> Last Name:'+v2.user.last_name)
  })
})
