Hi everyone,  
I am new to JSON and Postman. I’m trying to do something very simple.

I have a GET request which will get a JSON response like the one below.

In the example below from inside of the `data` array, I want to get the value of `benefitGeneralID` but only if the value matches a specific `uniqueCode` ,eg- `name123code`

How can I do it? Thanks in advance

_Details (like screenshots and the response body)_:

Hey @mission-saganist-751!

So, to get the benefitGeneralID from the response, we simply loop through the data, test for the required condition and save the required value,

One way to do this is:

```auto
//Saving the response from the GET request
var response=pm.response.json();
//Fetching the data array and storing it
var data=response.data, Ids=[]; //Ids to store benefitGeneralID

//looping through each data item
_.each(data, (item)=>{

    //Required condition
    if(item.uniqueCode==="name123code")
       Ids.push(item.benefitGeneralId);
})

console.log(Ids);

```

Good luck!
