Parse JSON elements of a list returned from a multi-choice column in Power Automate/MS flow

Question

I am calling the SP API to get the version history of an item in my list as follows:

 _api/web/lists/getbytitle('@{triggerBody()?['SPListName']}')/items(@{triggerBody()?['SPListID']})/versions?$top=20

I am getting the values and parse them with a JSON parser as explained here,

I can get all the values of the columns of my list without any issue, however I have a multi-choice column which returns the below string as the result of the Parse JSON action

 {"__metadata":{"type":"Collection(Edm.String)"},"results":["Choice 2"]}

if I select two choices in my multi-choice column, I get the below result:

{"__metadata":{"type":"Collection(Edm.String)"},"results":["Choice 1","Choice 3"]}

How can I only get the value in the "results" section as a string such as "Choice 1","Choice 3" rather than the whole metadata string

Answer 1

Updating for [Send a HTTP..] request. Here [results] is an array, and [MyChoice] is also an array.

body('Parse_JSON')?['d']?['results'][1]['MyChoice'][0]['Value']

Here's how I can find individual choice value when retrieving list items using [Get items] -> [Parse JSON] -> [Apply to each]

Here for each item, [MyChoice] is the Property (column name of the multi-value), and [0] is the index of the first value. You can check the length of [MyChoice] and dynamically find each value.

items('Apply_to_each')['MyChoice'][0]['Value']

Please see the screenshots and explanation below.

Please note that it's very important to analyze the output from [Send an HTTP..] by using a [Compose] action before feeding into [Parse JSON]
