ok i found my problem, i dont need to use json to convert this object into dict. so i can unpack it…

i simply need to use the response to get what i need… how easy is that, thats if you know…no conversions needed… no unpacking of nested dictionaries… lists etc.

`api_response = client.crm.objects.basic_api.get_by_id(object_type="0-1", object_id=f'{object_id_contact}', properties=["firstname", "lastname"], archived=False)firstname = api_response.properties["firstname"]-->Karien`
