Observation

• If there is a single object and you want to push whole object into an array then no need to iterate the object.

Try this :

var feed = {created_at: "2017-03-14T01:00:32Z", entry_id: 33358, field1: "4", field2: "4", field3: "0"};

var data = [];
data.push(feed);

console.log(data);

Instead of :

var my_json = {created_at: "2017-03-14T01:00:32Z", entry_id: 33358, field1: "4", field2: "4", field3: "0"};

var data = [];
for(var i in my_json) {
    data.push(my_json[i]);
}

console.log(data);

You need to have the 'data' array outside of the loop, otherwise it will get reset in every loop and also you can directly push the json. Find the solution below:-

var my_json;
$.getJSON("https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/"+did+"/feeds.json?api_key="+apikey+"&results=300", function(json1) {
console.log(json1);
var data = [];
json1.feeds.forEach(function(feed,i){
    console.log("\n The details of " + i + "th Object are :  \nCreated_at: " + feed.created_at + "\nEntry_id:" + feed.entry_id + "\nField1:" + feed.field1 + "\nField2:" + feed.field2+"\nField3:" + feed.field3);      
    my_json = feed;
    console.log(my_json); //Object {created_at: "2017-03-14T01:00:32Z", entry_id: 33358, field1: "4", field2: "4", field3: "0"}
    data.push(my_json);
     //["2017-03-14T01:00:32Z", 33358, "4", "4", "0"]
}); 
console.log(data);

can you try something like this. You have to put each json in the data not json[i], because in the way you are doing it you are getting and putting only the properties of each json. Put the whole json instead in the data

 var my_json;
    $.getJSON("https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/"+did+"/feeds.json?api_key="+apikey+"&results=300", function(json1) {
    console.log(json1);
        var data = [];
    json1.feeds.forEach(function(feed,i){
        console.log("\n The details of " + i + "th Object are :  \nCreated_at: " + feed.created_at + "\nEntry_id:" + feed.entry_id + "\nField1:" + feed.field1 + "\nField2:" + feed.field2+"\nField3:" + feed.field3);      
        my_json = feed;
        console.log(my_json); //Object {created_at: "2017-03-14T01:00:32Z", entry_id: 33358, field1: "4", field2: "4", field3: "0"}
        data.push(my_json);
    });
