We are pulling some data from REST using REST API Modular Input (splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1546/), Response type json, and receiving the below response

We would like to split each individual result into individual events using "updated" as the timestamp, however, no matter what I have tried, I can't get Splunk to break the events. 

I've tried writing a custom response handler, but it's not working, this isn't my area of expertise so i'm really struggling! This is what I have written.

 

class BlipTrackHandler:

     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 measurement in output["measurements"]:
                 measurement["timestamp"] = output["measurements"]["updated"]
                 print_xml_stream(json.dumps(measurement))   
         else:
             print_xml_stream(raw_response_output)

 

Is anyone able to help?

Solved it myself

class BlipTrackHandler:

     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 measurement in output["measurements"]:
                 measurement["currentServerTime"] = output["currentServerTime"]
                 print_xml_stream(json.dumps(measurement))   
         else:
             print_xml_stream(raw_response_output)

And changed the sourcetype to json_no_timestamp
