  });

and here is full data response from console log https://pastebin.com/wY0RVsUv

What have you tries so far ? It looks to me that a simple `JSON.parse` and a `Array.find` should do the trick. — Seblor, Nov 12 '22 at 18:44

You can use the Array#find method

const elements = [

  {
    id: 23323091,
    userId: 1743514,
    teamId: 1693131,
    name: 'test1'
  },
  {
    id: 2332950,
    userId: 1743514,
    teamId: 1693131,
    name: 'test2'
  },
  {
    id: 23323850,
    userId: 1743514,
    teamId: 1693131,
    name: 'test3'
  }
]

function search(name) {
  return elements.find(elem => elem.name == name)?.id
}

console.log(search('test3'))
console.log(search('test4'))

the code is working but when I paste to new .js, but when implement to my code, it push many errors, code is too long to paste it here ;( hmm Ive updated thread fully, if you can look, would be nice – Bella Smith Nov 12 '22 at 19:18
That's probably for another question then, but try debugging it -- i notice it's wrapped in data, so try doing `elements.data.find(elem => elem.name == name)?.id` -- no guarantee it would work though. – LeoDog896 Nov 12 '22 at 19:28
sadly it doesnt work for return code in data (pastebin link), when I copy array from [ ], it start working, so issue is with return – Bella Smith Nov 12 '22 at 19:34
ok figured out this const data = response.data.data; function search(name) { return data.find(elem => elem.name == name)?.id } – Bella Smith Nov 12 '22 at 19:37

If you are inside a GET request, to return a Json just do response.json()

Store your JSON inside a const for example

const data = myParsedJsonObject

You can find whatever data you looking for using the ES6 find() method.

const names = data.find(el => el.name === "test3")

Find json item based on other item in node.js
