Working on ranging over a remote data file in a shortcode. Here’s the shortcode.


{{ $reviews := getJSON "https://api.app.outscraper.com/maps/reviews-v3?query=ChIJU7-Ou0Mp1IcReeTe5L195C4&reviewsLimit=3&async=false" (dict "X-API-KEY" "APIKEY") }}
 <div class="reviews-slider disable-scrollbars">
 {{ $reviewsData := $reviews.data }}
 {{ range $reviewsData.reviews_data}}

   <div  id="_review8" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review" class="review">



     <p class="rev-text "> <span itemprop="reviewBody"> {{ .review_text }} </span> </p>
     <div class="rating">
        <img src="/images/star.svg" alt="star rating">
        <img src="/images/star.svg" alt="star rating">
        <img src="/images/star.svg" alt="star rating">
        <img src="/images/star.svg" alt="star rating">
        <img src="/images/star.svg" alt="star rating">
     </div>

     <span itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"><span itemprop="name"><h5 class="rev-name"> {{ .author_title }} </h5></span></span>

     <p class="rev-date"> {{ .review_timestamp }} </p>
     <p hidden> {{ .review_rating }}</p>

   </div>
   {{end}}

 </div>
</div>```

Here's the JSON that is returned from the API.

What I'm trying to do is range over the reviews.data to populate the shortcode. When I try to do this, it throws a `Error: Error building site: "C:\Users\marcl\Documents\Web Dev\Foothills Overhead Doors\content\reviews\index.html:11:3": failed to render shortcode "reviews": failed to process shortcode: "C:\Users\marcl\Documents\Web Dev\Foothills Overhead Doors\layouts\shortcodes\reviews.html:6:22": execute of template failed: template: shortcodes/reviews.html:6:22: executing "shortcodes/reviews.html" at <$reviewsData.reviews_data>: can't evaluate field reviews_data in type []interface {}`

I was thinking that I need to use bracket notation to access the inside of the array, but when I use {{ $reviewsData := $reviews.data[0], it throws another error saying that the brackets are a bad character. Is there any way to do this? Since it's a remote file, I can't manipulate the format. Thanks in advance!

You can use index function to access specific array item, something like this:

{{ $reviews := getJSON “https://api.app.outscraper.com/maps/reviews-v3?query=ChIJU7-Ou0Mp1IcReeTe5L195C4&reviewsLimit=3&async=false” (dict “X-API-KEY” “APIKEY”) }}

{{ $reviewsData := $reviews.data }}

{{/* Access array item, `$reviews.data[0]` */}}
{{ $data_first := index $reviewsData 0 }}

{{ range $data_first }}
  {{/* .... */}}
{{ end }}
