How can I "find and insert" into a variable?

Question

I want to upload a few stats in an database, how can I take something out of an callback and put it in an variable to simplify this?

Code:

csgo.requestPlayersProfile(account_id, function(ranking) {
                console.log(ranking);
            });

Result (ranking):

Got handled GC message PlayersProfile
{ my_current_event_teams: [],
  my_current_event_stages: [],
  account_id: xxxxxxx,
  ongoingmatch: null,
  global_stats: null,
  penalty_seconds: null,
  penalty_reason: null,
  vac_banned: null,
  ranking:
   { account_id: xxxxxxx,
     rank_id: 16,
     wins: 1081,
     rank_change: null },
  commendation: { cmd_friendly: 23, cmd_teaching: 24, cmd_leader: 24 },
  medals:
   { display_items_defidx:
      [ 969, 4551, 1377, 970, 1358, 4354, 1340, 1338, 1331, 1329, 1030, 874 ],
     medal_team: null,
     medal_combat: null,
     medal_weapon: null,
     medal_global: null,
     medal_arms: null,
     featured_display_item_defidx: 969 },
  my_current_event: null,
  my_current_team: null,
  survey_vote: null,
  activity: null,
  player_level: 19,
  player_cur_xp: 327682724,
  player_xp_bonus_flags: null }

So as an example I want to put the rank_id: 16 in an var (ex. var rank = 16;) so I cant just use "UPDATE Users SET Rank='rank'"

I think the way you ask this question is not very clear. However, from your callback you should be able to access the part of the data you need as `ranking.ranking.rank_id`. — Leandro, Jan 24 '20 at 15:50

Thats actually so simple, but still don't make sense to me... Why do I need 2x ranking? //Edit: nvm, got it... – Schmaniel Jan 24 '20 at 16:03

You are passing callback function to this requestPlayersProfile, so everything you need is just to call db from that "doSomething" function. All data you need will be in "ranking" variable.

function doSomething(ranking) {
  // do everything you want with that data here
}

csgo.requestPlayersProfile(account_id, doSomething);

I dont understand this, I hate javascript ._. Thought I can just find something in the callback (like in php) and put it in an var... – Schmaniel Jan 24 '20 at 15:59
you could do this inside doSomething function, but what you want to do next with that variable? – Harion Jan 24 '20 at 16:04
SherylHohman's answer was pretty good. I want to put it in an database – Schmaniel Jan 24 '20 at 16:08
