Hi Everyone,

I am using the API modular input to collect data from an API. Problem is the getting the data in, correctly. Without using a response handle I can get everything in one event and I'm not able to break them into individual events. Using a response handle I'm not able to get the complete data.

SAMPLE Data looks like this:

{
    "Meta Data": {
        "1. Information": "Intraday Prices and Volumes for Digital Currency",
        "2. Digital Currency Code": "BTC",
        "3. Digital Currency Name": "Bitcoin",
        "4. Market Code": "AUD",
        "5. Market Name": "Australian Dollar",
        "6. Interval": "5min",
        "7. Last Refreshed": "2018-01-31 22:20:00",
        "8. Time Zone": "UTC"
    },
    "Time Series (Digital Currency Intraday)": {
        "2018-01-31 22:20:00": {
            "1a. price (AUD)": "12474.57250163",
            "1b. price (USD)": "10049.09321579",
            "2. volume": "1947.32278014",
            "3. market cap (USD)": "19568828.13886100"
        },
        "2018-01-31 22:15:00": {
            "1a. price (AUD)": "12477.02432481",
            "1b. price (USD)": "10051.06832152",
            "2. volume": "1946.46090562",
            "3. market cap (USD)": "19564011.54755900"
        },
        "2018-01-31 22:10:00": {
            "1a. price (AUD)": "12482.11267077",
            "1b. price (USD)": "10055.16732073",
            "2. volume": "1947.86047516",
            "3. market cap (USD)": "19586062.99517900"
        },
        "2018-01-31 22:05:00": {
            "1a. price (AUD)": "12469.69385098",
            "1b. price (USD)": "10045.16314001",
            "2. volume": "1957.84301556",
            "3. market cap (USD)": "19666852.49383900"
        },
        "2018-01-31 22:00:00": {
            "1a. price (AUD)": "12465.88588954",
            "1b. price (USD)": "10045.88292284",
            "2. volume": "1967.23063556",
            "3. market cap (USD)": "19762568.64706900"
        },
        "2018-01-31 21:55:00": {
            "1a. price (AUD)": "12449.19799086",
            "1b. price (USD)": "10032.43464665",
            "2. volume": "2016.41002232",
            "3. market cap (USD)": "20229501.76977700"
        },
        "2018-01-31 21:50:00": {
            "1a. price (AUD)": "12459.09475997",
            "1b. price (USD)": "10040.41015555",
            "2. volume": "2016.23520360",
            "3. market cap (USD)": "20243828.41419600"
        },
};

I am also using a customer response handler, see below:

class BitcoinHandle:

def __init__(self,**args):
    pass

def __call__(self, response_object,raw_response_output,response_type,req_args,endpoint):
    if response_type == "json":        
        output = json.loads(raw_response_output)
        for price in output["Meta Data"]:
            print_xml_stream(json.dumps(price)) 


    else:
        print_xml_stream(raw_response_output)

The issue that I'm having is that it's not looping through the nested JSON data, I am only getting the following data, not I'm not even getting the key value pairs, just the heading. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I would like to have all the data coming in and breaking correctly. Please help!
