I have the following JSON

{  
“faces1”: [  
{  
“face\_rectangle”: {  
“width”: 193,  
},  
“face\_token”: “c17b164f9b697b1ac174c86ab330ae0d”  
}  
],  
“faces2”: [  
{  
“face\_rectangle”: {  
“width”: 210,  
},  
“face\_token”: “1ed4e198ff26fca77011a980ca83ca01”  
}  
],  
“time\_used”: 2048,  
}

I need to extract both tokens and time used.

This is what I am trying to use for token1. And it is not returning. Can someone give me a pointer of where I am wrong, and how would I get the time\_used. I have tried all sorts of combinations.

I tried the “first occurence” block and it did not work. Any ideas?

For some reason it works now.

Ok so there are times when the JSON wont parse properly. It appears to be a bug of some sort. I am trying a few things to narrow down what and why.
