call rest api and display result as searched for

问题:

I am calling a REST API from this HTML form

<form action="#">
    <h1>Enter your zip code</h1>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="zip">Zip Code</label>
        <input type="text" id="zip">
    </div>
    <div class="button-holder">
        <button class="btn btn-primary" onclick="callREST()">Next</button>
    </div>
</form>

My API structure looks like this

{
    "Agents":
    {
        "@ZipCode": "33176",
        "Agent": [
        {
            "AgencyID": "21",
            "Name": "Anakarina Callejas",
            "Phone": "305-515-5613",
            "CityName": "KENDALL",
            "Address": "10471 N Kendall Dr. #101. Miami, FL 33176",
            "Reviews-Rating": "5",
            "Reviews-Count": "74",
            "image": "/images/agents/21.png"
        },
        {
            "AgencyID": "116",
            "Name": "Tamara Mourino",
            "Phone": "305-256-0616",
            "CityName": "PINECREST",
            "Address": "12745 South Dixie Highway. #101. Pinecrest, FL 33156",
            "Reviews-Rating": "5",
            "Reviews-Count": "70",
            "image": "/images/agents/116.png"
        }]
    }
}

and this is how i am calling the API

function callREST() {
    // Create a request variable and assign a new XMLHttpRequest object to it.
    var request = new XMLHttpRequest();

    // Open a new connection, using the GET request on the URL endpoint
    request.open('GET', 'URL to the API', true);

    request.onload = function () {
      // Begin accessing JSON data here
      var responseData = JSON.parse(this.response);
      var data = responseData.Agents.Agent;

      if (request.status >= 200 && request.status < 400) {
        data.forEach(agent => {
          // Log each agent's title
          console.log(agent.Name);
        });
      } else {
          console.log('error');
        }

    }

    // Send request
    request.send();
}

I get all the data but what i need is only the data that matches the ZIP Code entered in the input field

You can get @ZipCode value from Agents object and compare with the input value.

var responseData =JSON.parse(jsonResponse);
var zipCode= responseData.Agents['@ZipCode'];

Here is the working snippet that display the alert if input value is matched with sample data' zipCode value.

  var jsonResponse='{"Agents":{"@ZipCode": "33176","Agent": [{"AgencyID": "21","Name": "Anakarina Callejas","Phone": "305-515-5613","CityName": "KENDALL","Address": "10471 N Kendall Dr. #101. Miami, FL 33176","Reviews-Rating": "5","Reviews-Count": "74","image": "/images/agents/21.png"},{"AgencyID": "116","Name": "Tamara Mourino","Phone": "305-256-0616","CityName": "PINECREST","Address": "12745 South Dixie Highway. #101. Pinecrest, FL 33156","Reviews-Rating": "5","Reviews-Count": "70","image": "/images/agents/116.png"}]}}';

function callREST() {
   event.preventDefault();//for demo to prevent form submit.
   var inputZip=document.getElementById("zip").value;
   var responseData =JSON.parse(jsonResponse);
   var zipCode= responseData.Agents['@ZipCode'];
   //console.log(inputZip,zipCode);
   if(zipCode==inputZip){
      alert("ZipCode matched.");
   }else{
     alert("ZipCode not matched.");
   }
}

<form action="#">
    <h1>Enter your zip code</h1>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="zip">Zip Code</label>
        <input type="text" id="zip">
    </div>
    <div class="button-holder">
        <button class="btn btn-primary" onclick="callREST();">Next</button>
    </div>
</form>

Note: From comments it is still confusing that how your response object can have multiple zipCode.

@Comment- Look at your code responseData.Agents.Agent responseData is an object, Agents is an object, how there can be multiple Agents objects in an object. Or even how can be multiple ZipCode prpertirs in Agents object
