Title: How to parse top-level JSON array? Last modified: July 2, 2024 --- # How to parse top-level JSON array? * Resolved [acmswebmaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acmswebmaster/) * (@acmswebmaster) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-parse-top-level-json-array/) * The results of a query to the Zotero API give back JSON which at the top level is an array of objects. So, to loop over these objects with subloop-array, I think I need to specify a basenode=, but there is no basenode in this case. * Is it possible, with the Free version, to handle situation? * Thanks.
