Hi rajs2020 ,

 

I just recommended you to use JsonSlurper to parse your JSON response or XmlHolder to parse XML response.

 

Database query return a xml-like response, right? then you can try:

(Example)

def holder = new XmlHolder(response)
def node = holder.getNodeValues( "//div/a[@title='APIs']/@href" )

 

 

you would paste your sample response here if don't mind, using XPath to retrieve it

 

Thanks,
