WebService & Deserialization

I am using the web service found here Free Weather API | Amdoren to build a module that I can reference in the future. This is my first time using this kind of api in Ui Path. I got the web service working but am running into with the Json array (See below). The question I have is once I have the array how do I do a for each item in forecast?

{ “error” : 0, “error_message” : “-”, “forecast”:[
{“date”:“2016-11-04”, “avg_c”:17, “min_c”:12, “max_c”:22, “avg_f”:63, “min_f”:54, “max_f”:72, “summary”:“Light rain”, “icon”:“wi_color_drizzle.png”},
{“date”:“2016-11-05”, “avg_c”:17, “min_c”:15, “max_c”:22, “avg_f”:63, “min_f”:59, “max_f”:72, “summary”:“Sunny”, “icon”:“wi_color_sunny.png”},
{“date”:“2016-11-06”, “avg_c”:19, “min_c”:13, “max_c”:23, “avg_f”:66, “min_f”:55, “max_f”:73, “summary”:“Partly cloudy”, “icon”:“wi_color_partly_cloudy_day.png”},
{“date”:“2016-11-07”, “avg_c”:19, “min_c”:14, “max_c”:21, “avg_f”:66, “min_f”:57, “max_f”:70, “summary”:“Moderate or heavy rain”, “icon”:“wi_color_rain.png”},
{“date”:“2016-11-08”, “avg_c”:14, “min_c”:8, “max_c”:17, “avg_f”:57, “min_f”:46, “max_f”:63, “summary”:“Light rain”, “icon”:“wi_color_drizzle.png”} ]}

I can use the following to get the error message for example.

jsonArray_Deserialized.Item(“error_message”).ToString

Using Deserialize JSON Array I put the following in however I am not sure what do do with it from here or if this is the next step in parsing out the array.

jsonArray_Deserialized.Item(“forecast”).ToString

My final file for reference if anybody is trying to figure this one out! WebService&DeserializationExample.zip (4.6 KB)

Use for each activity @LeftBrainCo after deserializing JSON string and give the inumerable as JSONDeserialized.Root … JSONDeserialized is the output of the deserialize json activity…

Then you will get the data children as you mentioned above… by giving as item(“error_message”)

Thank you @HareeshMR that did the trick. I have attached the final test automation below just in case anybody else is trying to figure this one out!
