How do I get a list of artistName? I’ve already parsed the #serialized-server-data json out but don’t know how to convert it to json to get artistName.

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

Hey @dymefasa

Just change the Return Value to HTML instead of Text

@dymefasa after switching to HTML like Ectilow said, pipe it into a Code node to actually parse it and grab artistName

the serialized-server-data is just a JSON string so JSON.parse does the trick, you might need to tweak the path inside the Code node depending on what the actual structure looks like — run the HTML node first and check the raw output to find where artistName lives
