Submit values and retrieve responses from xml api

Question

I use this code to submit to an api
<cfhttp url="<api url>" method="GET" resolveurl="No" ></cfhttp>
I get back
−
<VerifySignatureResponse>
−<VerifySignatureResult>
<VerificationStatus>Success</VerificationStatus>
</VerifySignatureResult>
</VerifySignatureResponse>
How do I retrieve the response? I ned to get back the Success for the VerificationStatus parameter

Answer 1

this works for me
<cfhttp url="<api url>" method="GET" resolveurl="No" ></cfhttp>
<cfset mydoc = XmlParse(CFHTTP.FileContent)>
<cfset pb = mydoc.variable1.XmlChildren>
<cfset size = ArrayLen(pb)>
<cfset myquery = QueryNew("variable1,variable2, variable3")>
<cfset temp = QueryAddRow(myquery, #size#)>
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(myquery, "variable3", #mydoc.variable3.XmlText#)>
<cfif #mydoc.variable1.variable2.variable3.XmlText# eq "Success">
Action
</cfif>
You apparently didn't take the hint, Ian's or mine. What you've done may be correct, it unnecessarily involves too many functions. You could really do it more efficiently, like this
<cfxml variable="xmlString"><cfoutput>#cfhttp.FileContent#</cfoutput></cfxml>
<cfset statusArray=xmlSearch(xmlString,"//VerificationStatus")>
<cfif statusArray[1].xmlText eq "Success">
Action
</cfif>
