Hello guys, i’m experimenting a bit more of API calls lately.  
I’m struggling with some very easy blocks but i can’t wrap my head around it.

Blocks

This is what i get:

I don’t understand why i can’t retrieve the “id” value and it shows me “null”.  
My intention was to get the value “Ciao”, but i’m still struggling with the step before.

I know there are many API experts here, hopefully that’s an easy-to-solve one

Thank you for your time

Because the value for the property that you extract “records” is a list and not an object

You need to get item 1 from records array then grab items id

I tried to get the list, i had this feeling, but apparently i did it wrong the first time.

Thank you @jared now it works

I leave here my blocks in case someone else will need it in the future
