How to replace all substrings with other string javascript

I am loading data and then putting it in an input, the data that it enters goes under the name "Business Type" and I need to change that to "businessTypeId"

for example

actually I have

[{"URL":"http://www.restaurant.com","Business Type":1},{"URL":"http://www.hotel.com","Business Type":2}]

I would like to:

  1. replace all "Business Type" to "businessTypeId"

  2. [delete square brackets]

  3. add "" to id (id is the number in Business Type)

this is the espected result

{"url":"http://www.restaurant.com","businessTypeId":"1"},{"url":"http://www.hotel.com","businessTypeId":"2"}

this is my code

placesArray.push(JSON.stringify(results.data));
console.log(placesArray);
document.getElementById('places').value = placesArray;

placesArray contains the string that I would like to change

const data=
[{"URL":"http://www.restaurant.com","Business Type":1},{"URL":"http://www.hotel.com","Business Type":2}]

//"Buisness Type" is a key, so firstly, go through each index, then in each index search through its keys and do replacing stuffs
data.forEach(a=>{
  Object.keys(a).forEach(b=>{
    if(b=="Business Type"){//what you want replaced
      var n=a[b].toString() //value to put in replaced key(and to string because you told me that you want string data not number data)
      delete(a[b]) //deleting old key
      a["businessTypeId"]=n //adding replaced key with previous value
    }
  })
})

console.log(data)

You could use the array map function:

const data = [
  { "URL":"http://www.restaurant.com", "Business Type": 1},
  { "URL":"http://www.hotel.com", "Business Type": 2 },
];

const result = data.map(value => ({
  url: value.URL,
  businessTypeId: value["Business Type"]?.toString(),
}));

console.log(result);
