How to read individual values from a response variable?

Question

Disclaimer: I am really really new with Python and MSGraph I have the folllowing response variable:

response = requests.get(
    #url="https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users",
    url = f"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$count=true&$search={email_address}&$orderBy=displayName&$select=id,displayName,mail",
    headers=headers,
)
#print(json.dumps(response.json(), indent=4))
print(response.text)

And the output is

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users(id,displayName,mail)",
    "@odata.count": 1,
    "value": [
        {
            "id": "#######",
            "displayName": "Firstname Lastname",
            "mail": "******@domain.com"
        }
    ]
}

or if I do the .txt

{"@odata.context":"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users(id,displayName,mail)","@odata.count":1,"value":[{"id":"########","displayName":"Firstname Lastname","mail":"******@domain.com"}]}

I wonder how to read the different values, like displayName or mail and store them into a variable. Thanks for your help

Hello, If the response is in json you could do something like (python3):

import json
import requests as reqs

# Make the HTTP request.
response = reqs.get('

# Use the json module to load CKAN's response into a dictionary.
response_dict = json.loads(response.text)

for i in response_dict:
    print("key: ", i, "val: ", response_dict[i])

To see everything in the response you can use .__dict__:

print(response.__dict__)
