Removing data from API response in Apps Script using map() before printing to Google Sheets

The code:

function BTC_1hour() {

var url = 'https://openapi-sandbox.kucoin.com/api/v1/market/candles?type=1hour&symbol=BTC-USDT&startAt=1566703297';
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url); // store API fetch in variable named response
var JSONresponse = JSON.parse(response);
var formatData = JSONresponse.data.map(([a, ...v]) => [new Date(Number(a) * 1000), ...v])

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('1h');
sheet.getRange(4,1,formatData.length, formatData[0].length).setValues(formatData);

}

The response:

formatData is using an array map to change epoch time in seconds to human readable prior to printing the response into Google Sheets. I only need the first 5 strings/columns of data. How can I modify the array mapping to exclude string 6 and 7?

>Solution :

Replace

var formatData = JSONresponse.data.map(([a, ...v]) => [new Date(Number(a) * 1000), ...v]);

With

var formatData = JSONresponse.data.map(([a, ...v]) => [new Date(Number(a) * 1000), ...v].slice(0,5));
