What is the simplest way to get only the JSON data which is inputted to a stream?

Question

Is there an API command to display only the data JSON portion of a stream without any other information such as "publishers", "keys", etc...

for example:

"json" : {

"name" : "Jane Smith",

"city" : "Paris"

}

 

If there is not an API command, is there a simple way to do it by creating a node.js file?

Answer 1

There is no direct command to get only the json data, the closest is gettxoutdata which gives the json data only provided you have the txid and vout.

 

Alternatively you can parse the response of liststreamitems or liststreamkeyitems in nodejs to give only the json object, by iterating over the array of response.

e.g

response = response.map(r => r.data.json)

should do the trick.
