noobie help getting ids from IDictionary's List of Objects

Unity Engine
1

Hey, ya’ll. I’m having a noob problem getting data from an IDictionary.

What’s happening is I have a sync friends action that a user can trigger. This returns their Facebook friends’ IDs that use the game.

The result looks like this

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "4687861231"
    },
    {
      "id": "4861248864"
    }
  ],
  "paging": {
    "cursors": {
      "before": "ghjgkfdgsdg",
      "after": "dghjgjkdssdffg"
    }
  },
  "summary": {
    "total_count": 20
  }
}

From my debugging, I see that “data” is a type of List<Object>

the exact debug log of the key “data” is Key = data , Value = System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Object] , Type = System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Object]

So, I create and cast a variable as such and declare it as so List<Object> data = result["data"] as List<Object>;

My question is, what is the correct way to iterate through this list to get the IDs?

Thanks for your time! I really appreciate it.

I didn’t realize the objects within the object list “data” has a type of Dictionary as well.

This is how I got what I wanted:

Dictionary<string, object> dataEntry = data[a] as Dictionary<string, object>;
string dataValue = dataEntry["id"] as string;

Let my embarrassing post remain here for eternity and as a beacon of hope for all your other noobie problems! May you fix them soon.
