Ok, i see it now. Javascript always converts numeric keys to string, so you have to use the array notation, instead of the dot one. Try the solution above. — Gregorio Setti, Jun 08 '14 at 08:25

I don't know exactly the data structure, but maybe you could try

myObject.data["503913138"].nickname;

if data is an array and that number is a key of that array.
