Hello, i want to send json format data from a saved search results to an external application. What's the best way to do it? Thanks

If the external application has an API to talk to it, you can send the results that way. Or alternatively, have the external app poll netsuite for changes and you write your own restlet.

or you can export the results and do what you want with them...really depends honestly. Would need more info about the "external app"

```var data = search.create(...)
  .run()
  .getRange(...)
  .map(result =&gt; {
    return {
      name: result.getValue({name: "entityid"}),
      email: result.getValue({name: "email"})
    };
  });

var jsonString = JSON.stringify(data);```


or `Result` instances have their own `toJSON()` method if you just want NetSuite's default object format for a search result

<@U2C4P9YR3> I was asked to send it as a "queue" to aws (not super familiar with this).

<@U29PVMVAR> I've used result.toJSON() before but always been a little scared that it's not officially documented. Do you think it's considered safe? Especially considering that the format is the same as what's passed to map/reduce steps so if NetSuite would change it that would break a lot of M/R scripts.

I don't use it myself; I'm typically very explicit about the data structures I use/create

plus, i just don't like the result of `toJSON` :slightly_smiling_face:
