Copy API response to clipboard

[niclake]

Trying to create a little workflow as practice. Querying an API, parsing the response, and then (trying to) copying the result to my clipboard.

 

Here's my script:

 

require 'json'
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'

uri = URI("https://baconipsum.com/api/?type=all-meat&start-with-lorem=1&paras=5")
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)

value = ""

JSON.parse(res.body).each do |i|
	value += i + " "
end

puts({ items: [value] }.to_json)

 

I get the data back just fine, and it's being returned as an appropriate json hash, but the Alfred window will just sit open and not accept me hitting Enter to copy it to my clipboard.

JSON is structured data, you have to follow the correct structure for it to be interpreted.
