Hi all,

I’m trying to get the value of message.body (“Z 2 ABCweg Voorbeeldstad 012345”) of the following API output in a variable but I’m not that familiar with these things.  
I’m currently using “http request flowkaarten” app but I don’t know which values I need to use for parameter 2 and 3 in the “get jsonpath trigger waarde”  
Can somebody help me with this ? 😉  
This is the API example output :

```

```

Hi

You can get the message body value out by inserting the $.message.body into the JSONpath field.

For more testing you can do in [https://jsonpath.com/](https://jsonpath.com/)  
**Note** that you have to change all the quotation marks in your example if you use the link above to test.
