I am trying to get the value from a parsed json. But it just returns empty. I tried with and without quotes.

It’s not working because your syntax tries to pass ‘x-wp-total’ as if it were an array index.

Instead, use `get(map())` to filter to the desired array item and extract its value.

Here’s an example from a very similar GET request. Let’s say we want the value for “cache-control”, which is “private, max-age=0”:

It’s the third item in the array, so we _could_ extract it like this:

But we don’t know whether it’s _guaranteed_ to be the third item. Here’s a more robust way:

1. Filter to the array item we want. It’s effectively saying “Give me the `value` whose `name` is `'cache-control'`”. (Of course that would be `'x-wp-total'` in your case).

So far, this produces a one-item array:

1. Not wrong, but we actually want the string/numeric value from inside that item, so wrap the function above in `get()` with a path of `1`:

Voilà!

Thank you so much for explaining this.

I had tried with the map function, but couldn’t get it to work. Your explanation made it crystal clear for me.
