I have an array returning from HTTP request
```auto
{
"status": "success",
"message": [
{
"Account": {
"company_name": "ABC1",
"api_token": "abc1",
"api_key": "xyz1"
}
},
{
"Account": {
"company_name": "ABC2",
"api_token": "abc2",
"api_key": "xyz2"
}
},
{
"Account": {
"company_name": "ABC3",
"api_token": "abc3",
"api_key": "xyz3"
}
}
]
}
```
I want to take api\_key and api\_token from each array and use them for basic authentication for the next HTTP request. Any help would be apprecated.
Thanks

Assuming this data is in msg.payload.message, use a change node to move/copy the `message` array to `msg.payload` and feed it through a split node. You will get 3 messages - each with the contents of the array elelemnt that you can use to build a URL/query.
```auto
[{"id":"19bcbddb2faffc27","type":"split","z":"484d58c6fda0204f","name":"","splt":"\\n","spltType":"str","arraySplt":1,"arraySpltType":"len","stream":false,"addname":"","x":1210,"y":480,"wires":[["45ca0005dfa8869a"]]},{"id":"3eff9920a2e57005","type":"change","z":"484d58c6fda0204f","name":"","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"payload.message","tot":"msg"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":1400,"y":440,"wires":[["19bcbddb2faffc27"]]},{"id":"45ca0005dfa8869a","type":"debug","z":"484d58c6fda0204f","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":1390,"y":480,"wires":[]},{"id":"724f2bc4338b6b4e","type":"inject","z":"484d58c6fda0204f","name":"faking http request","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"{ \"status\": \"success\", \"message\": [{ \"Account\": { \"company_name\": \"ABC1\", \"api_token\": \"abc1\", \"api_key\": \"xyz1\" } }, { \"Account\": { \"company_name\": \"ABC2\", \"api_token\": \"abc2\", \"api_key\": \"xyz2\" } }, { \"Account\": { \"company_name\": \"ABC3\", \"api_token\": \"abc3\", \"api_key\": \"xyz3\" } }] }","payloadType":"json","x":1190,"y":440,"wires":[["3eff9920a2e57005"]]}]
