Ajax call response return [object Object]

Question

I got from an API this response from Ajax CALL:

{"prova.com":{"status":0}}

I try to access to status = 0 using this script:

$.ajax({
 type: 'GET',
 url: 'https://api.cloudns.net/domains/check-available.json?auth-id=1243&auth-password=KNK-dn5.&name=' +dominio + '&tld[]=' + tld,
 success: function(resp) {
 alert(resp.status)
 }
});

But it return undefined. If i use resp it return [Object object] any suggestion?

• Himanshu Upadhyay: put dataType : 'JSON' in your ajax function as parameter.
• user5228393: Are you trying to access the "status" key in the API response or the status of the actual http response?
• Siva Gopal: Try putting a debugger; statement before alert(resp.status) and check what is the object structure of response.

Answer 1

• alert will implicitly call toString on resp, which will be an object literal (how the JSON is parsed), and that value is "[object Object]"

• resp is no longer in JSON format, it is a Javascript Object. You do not need to use function like jQuery.parseJSON anymore.

  If you want to see this Javascript Object, try alert(JSON.stringify(resp));

• use console.log(resp) to view the data inside the object

Answer 2

your json data

var obj = {"prova.com":{"status":0}}

using ajax response object resp

for(var prop in resp) {
 var item = resp[prop];
 //console.log(item);
 alert(item); 
}

here is a demo code

var obj = {"prova.com":{"status":0}}
for(var prop in obj) {
 var item = obj[prop];
 console.log(item);
 alert(item.status); 
}

try this

Answer 3

res is the entire response if you want to access status then try resp['prova.com'].status

// it will return 0
