How to get a specific part of a JSON response

Question

Hi so I'm trying to get all the names, the tweet volume and the twitter url for the trending topics in my selected places but I'm new to JSON and can't find a way to only select those parts.

const Twit = require('twit');
const params = {
    id: '23424829',
    id: '23424975',
    id: '23424977'
};

client.get('trends/place', params, gotData, 3);

function gotData(err, data, response) {
    var tweets = data;
    console.log(JSON.stringify(tweets.trends.name));
}

But this doesn't work and if it would work it would only give me the name.

This is the whole thing:

I think that when `gotData()` is being called `data` consists of a JSON-encoded string that you are not decoding. — Mike Robinson, Mar 03 '20 at 19:55
looking on JSON structure: `const names = data[0].trends.map(t => t.name)` - it would be an array of names. p.s. it is JS, not json related to take "names" — andriishupta, Mar 03 '20 at 19:56
@Pitto yes I tried printing only tweets.trends but that returned "undefined" — DaReal HeroofHell, Mar 03 '20 at 19:56
Thank you so much @andriishupta that worked. If you want to answer this as an answer instead of comment I would be able to give you the answer checkmark thing :D — DaReal HeroofHell, Mar 03 '20 at 19:59
