Not importing more than 256 characters

[jwframe]

In order to return the full data you must use the "noTruncate" parameter.

=ImportJSON("https://matthewkosloski.me/foo.json",,"noTruncate")

Refer to this section (specifically lines 44 & 50 of the importJSON.gs file).

Imports a JSON feed and returns the results to be inserted into a Google Spreadsheet. The JSON feed is flattened to create a two-dimensional array. The first row contains the headers, with each column header indicating the path to that data in the JSON feed. The remaining rows contain the data.

By default, data gets transformed so it looks more like a normal data import. Specifically:

• Data from parent JSON elements gets inherited to their child elements, so rows representing child elements contain the values of the rows representing their parent elements.
• Values longer than 256 characters get truncated.
• Headers have slashes converted to spaces, common prefixes removed and the resulting text converted to title case.

To change this behavior, pass in one of these values in the options parameter:

• noInherit: Don't inherit values from parent elements
• noTruncate: Don't truncate values
• rawHeaders: Don't prettify headers
• noHeaders: Don't include headers, only the data
• debugLocation: Prepend each value with the row & column it belongs in

Additional Comments:
Note the two commas between the "url" and the "noTruncate" parameter. If you wish to retrieve all the data in the file, you do not need a value between the commas. If you would like to only the data in a specific section... example: "i_am_512_chars_long" . Place this information between the two commas.

Example:
=ImportJSON("https://matthewkosloski.me/foo.json","/i_am_512_chars_long","noTruncate")

I hope that this is helpful to you. I am very grateful for the work that has been done by Trevor Lohrbeer, Brad Jasper, and others to create such a wonderful tool.
