Groovy RESTClient GET Results Stripping Quotes? - rest

Question

I am using the Groovy RESTClient for doing some API automation.
The issue I am having is when I am doing a GET call, the results that I get back are missing all the quotes and formatting I would expect. This is making it hard to parse the results.
Example:
What I would expect (and what I am getting back from my API) ...
{
"results": [{
"licenseType": "mobileAppLicensesWithDevice",
"name": "Lead Retrieval - Device Rental & App license",
"owner": {
"id": "a705c768-ee33-491d-a993-4dd7bc61228b",
"entityType": "exhibitor"
},
"termId": "630493a4-4a70-4f4f-afaf-31610c14c181",
"id": "c215affe-ed0f-4014-8ba8-53f9df97942a",
"readableId": "77umkh20kq3",
"accessCode": "0w7zh6t",
"updatedAt": "2016-09-22T17:02:06.911Z",

}, {
"licenseType": "mobileAppLicensesWithDevice",
"name": "Lead Retrieval - Device Rental & App license",
"owner": {

"entityType": "exhibitor"
},
"termId": "630493a4-4a70-4f4f-afaf-31610c14c181",

}],
"etags": [{}, {}, {}],
"total": 3
}
And here is what I am getting back when I use the RESTClient ...
{
etags = [{}, {}, {}], results = [{
accessCode = wvnc16i,
createdAt = 2016 - 09 - 23 T15: 08: 20.673 Z,

licenseType = mobileAppLicensesWithDevice,
name = Lead Retrieval - Device Rental & App license,
owner = {
entityType = exhibitor,
id = adc7a8e5 - b137 - 40 c6 - 8765 - deb3ce0b8b3f
},
readableId = r52jvlr0ok7,
termId = 630493 a4 - 4 a70 - 4 f4f - afaf - 31610 c14c181,
updatedAt = 2016 - 09 - 23 T15: 08: 20.673 Z

licenseType = mobileAppLicensesWithDevice,
name = Lead Retrieval - Device Rental & App license,
owner = {
entityType = exhibitor,
id = adc7a8e5 - b137 - 40 c6 - 8765 - deb3ce0b8b3f
},
readableId = b11yew6bqra,
termId = 630493 a4 - 4 a70 - 4 f4f - afaf - 31610 c14c181,
updatedAt = 2016 - 09 - 23 T15: 08: 20.673 Z
}, {
accessCode = 3e7 f1ip,
createdAt = 2016 - 09 - 23 T15: 08: 20.674 Z,
id = 2e12657 a - 8 a62 - 4 d2c - b5d2 - 2 a3fe4c27f9e,
licenseType = mobileAppLicensesWithDevice,
name = Lead Retrieval - Device Rental & App license,
owner = {
entityType = exhibitor,

updatedAt = 2016 - 09 - 23 T15: 08: 20.674 Z
}], total = 3
}
* EDIT *
Example of the code thats implementing this ...
def getLicenseId(String eventId, String exhibitorId) {
String licenseId
def apiGetLicenseId = webClient.get(
path: "event_api/events/${eventId}/exhibitors/${exhibitorId}/licenses",
headers: ['Authorization': "api_key $apiKey"],
requestContentType: JSON
)
assert apiGetLicenseId.status == 200 : "API get license ID failed!\nAPI Response: ${apiGetLicenseId.data}"
String index = apiGetLicenseId.data
def slurper = new JsonSlurper().parseText(index)
slurper.each {
println(it)
}
licenseId = apiGetLicenseId.data.results[1].id
println("Index = " + index)
println("Index Length = " + slurper)
println("License Id = " + licenseId)
return licenseId
}
Any thoughts on what the issue is here and how it can be resolved?
