You must not add the .labels.label part in both locations. Just one is needed. I recommend the following: <#assign contextId = 'discovery'/> <#assign context = 'categories'/> <#-- MAIN LABELS --> <#-- EX: <a href="https://community-stage.jmp.com/restapi/v1/categories/id/discovery/labels" target="_blank">https://community-stage.jmp.com/restapi/v1/categories/id/discovery/labels</a> --> <#assign someLabels = restadmin("/categories/id/discovery/labels/labels?restapi.response_format=json").labels.label /> var labels = JSON.parse('${someLabels}'); console.log('labels',labels);   Additionally, don't forget to wrap your Javascript in a <script> tag or Khoros' <liaAddScript> directive. ...

The error occurs, because you try to access the complete response object. But this is not supported. The first element of the response you're able to access is the label array: ... label: [ ... ... ]   To solve the error, just add .labels.label to your code: var labels = JSON.parse('${someLabels.labels.label}');   The keep your Javascript code as clean as possible, you could also add the .labels.label part to your Rest request: <#assign someLabels = restadmin("/${context}/id/${contextId}/labels/labels?restapi.response_format=json").labels.label />   ...

@IanAtJMP  - You'll need to wrap your Freemarker variable in "", because Javascript can't handle ${labels} and will run into errors. While the Freemarker JSON response should be valid you could parse the response with JSON.parse: var labels = JSON.parse('${labels}')   ... View more

@IanAtJMP  - I think you have two errors in your REST call:   Firstly, you need to check your APIv1 request. I think you need to add an additional "/labels" path parameter to get a list of labels for your category:   <#-- APIv1 request: <a href="https://community-stage.jmp.com/restapi/vc/categories/id/[id]/labels/labels" target="_blank">https://community-stage.jmp.com/restapi/vc/categories/id/[id]/labels/labels</a> --> <#assign someLabels = restadmind("/${context}/id/${contextId}/labels/labels?restapi.response_format=json") />   Take a look into the developers docs and APIv1 reference.   Secondly, to access the labels from the API response you need to access the labels object of the response. Your request will return something similar the example below:   { "response": { "status": "success", "labels": { "label": [ { "type": "label", "href": "/labels/id/1985", "text": { "type": "string", "$": "Festnetz | Internet | Fernsehen" }, "id": { "type": "int", "$": 1985 } }, { "type": "label", "href": "/labels/id/1982", "text": { "type": "string", "$": "Sonstiges" }, "id": { "type": "int", "$": 1982 } }, } ] } }     The have access to the label values, you have to access your Freemarker variable like this:   <#assign labels = someLabels.labels.label />     Be aware to add checks for empty responses or lists. Otherwise you will get Freemarker errors for accessing non-existing objects. ... View more

@IanAtJMP  - You could use the restapi.response_format parameter to return JSON:   restapi.response_format=json   For more details see developer docs.   Alternatively, you can move your API requests to an endpoint and build a custom JSON response for that endpoint. Afterwards you can request your endpoint from your JS code. ... View more
