How to extract value from API [duplicate]

Create a JSON object from your responce string from the api

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);

then get the CAD object from it

JSONObject jsonObjectCad = jsonObject.getJSONObject("CAD");String buy = jsonObjectCad.getString("buy");

What you have is called a json string. You can use Jackson API to reflect this values into beans:

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();String jsonInString = ""; // Your string from above.User user = mapper.readValue(jsonInString, YourClass.class);

There are many examples on this topic in the web.

Sooner or later you will require all the elements in the JSON data.try this code it lets you gather all the information that can be picked up depending on it's key value

this code is tested and also available on Github
