DIAMOND Professional Data Capture: The JSON Path Method

The Goal: Capturing account metadata (Expiry, Payment Method, Points) from API responses that standard "Left/Right" parsing can't handle.
The Workflow:

1. The Request: Target the account's
   
   Code:

   /billing
   or
   
   Code:

   /user
   endpoint.
   
2. The Parse: Choose
   
   Code:

   JSON
   instead of
   
   Code:

   LR
   .
   
3. Selector Syntax: Use the dot notation to reach deep data.
   • Path:
     
     Code:

     $.data.subscriptions[0].expiry_date
4. Fallback Logic: Use the "Is Not Empty" check. If the JSON key is missing, have the bot mark it as "No Active Sub" instead of failing.
