Problem encoding/decoding introducing in a JSON list data

Josep — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 08:55:50 GMT

Hello,

I've some urls to introduce in a JSON list the command used are this one to encode:

#encode to ASCII

url.encode(encoding='ascii',errors="ignore").decode()

In the context the variable is perfect, however inside the JSON list it's not. Even if I call variables from inside the JSON list to outside is perfect too.

It's only inside the JSON list where differents characters appear.

Sorry for not giving more information, I have to be carefull with it. Here it's a smaller part of the program, where a JSON list is loaded, and parameters are changed, then JSON List is updated. The question is about why is not encoded in ASCII even if I force to do it inside the JSON List.

def main(domain, url): domain = domain.encode(encoding='ascii',errors="ignore").decode() url = url.encode(encoding='ascii',errors="ignore").decode() allJSON = demisto.executeCommand("getList", {"listName":"JSONList"}) data = json.loads(allJSON[0]['Contents']) newdata = {domain:{"domain": domain,"url":url}} if type(data) is list: data.append(newdata) else: data.update(newdata) demisto.executeCommand("setList",{"listName":"JSONList","listData":data})
