I have a dict populated by a call to a JSON API - and within it there are sub dicts.

I can access keys and values in these sub dicts using get messages, double colon syntax and square/array brackets, and a simple get message on the key in which the nested dicts are located shows me that there are multiple dicts in there, each with its own identifier (see attached pic).

But so far as I can tell the only way to access the information is through get messages.

Is it not possible to have the dict spit out the nested dictionaries as dict objects?

Am I missing something?

bang
[dict main]
[dict.unpack nested]
[dict only_nested]

has said here, there's a few steps I think.

First, you might want to strip the key "results" from the message using the something like [zl.slice 1]. The right outlet will contain the message without the "results" key.

Next, you could separate the different dictionary names using [unjoin 5] since you have 5 dictionaries in the results.

Finally, for each dictionary, you can unpack the keys using [dict.unpack my_key_name: another_key_name:]. Notice the colon after the key name in each case!

Just to build on what PERSONAL_USERNAME has said here, there's a few steps I think.
