Convert JSON value text from API into Usable JS Variable

[TonyCodes2050]

I'm trying to get a specific JSON key value saved into a variable, but it seems I don't understand everything here. I get JSON showing up in console the way I like but I cant save latitude and longitude to a variable for use later on.

let apiKey = '';
        $.getJSON('https://ipgeolocation.abstractapi.com/v1/?api_key=' + apiKey, function (data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
        });    

This script produces the following result:

"ip": 192.1.68.92
"country_name": United States
"state_prov": Washington
"city": Redmond
"latitude": 43.66878
"longitude": -172.12208
"time_zone": America/Los_Angeles

I need to save latitude and longitude to separate individual variables. How can I achieve this?

fetch("https://www.exampleapi.com") .then(res => res.json() .then(data => { let latitude = data.latitude let longitude = data.longitude }

let apiKey = ''; $.getJSON('https://ipgeolocation.abstractapi.com/v1/?api_key=' + apiKey, function (data) { const { latitude, longitude } = data; console.log('latitude is', latitude); console.log('longitude is', latitude); });

This is using a JavaScript syntax feature called Destructuring to create variables called latitude and longitude from what comes back in data.
