Script to call an API and check for an object

The goal of this script is to call an API endpoint that provides multiple parameters. One of these parameters is a feature mapping which has two parts. I want to verify if this feature is already mapped in the list; if not, I need to add it.

I've experimented with several approaches but haven't found a logic that successfully adds items to the end.

Attempt One: Altering the string itself.

Initially, I attempted to use the JSON string received from the API call for indexOf(jsonString; {"id1":"value1","id2":"value2"}) but this did not yield the desired results. Since value1 and value2 can be found partially within the JSON string, I cannot even use two conditions where one is indexOf(jsonString;id1:value1) not equaling -1 for both IDs.

Attempt Two: Checking the array using an iterator and adding the item to the list.

Subsequently, I converted the jsonString to JSON and utilized an Iterator to filter based on the two conditions: id1 equals value1 and id2 equals value2.

However, when I attempt to add the item to the JSON object and then convert it back to a JSON string for sending, the formatting appears incorrect. I verified this using Slack, where the JSON string object I added was "{"id1":"value1","id2":"value2"}" whereas all other items in the jsonstring were formatted as {"id1":"value1,"id2":value2"}.

I'm unsure about what I'm doing incorrectly, and I suspect I might be overcomplicating the workflow. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
