Unable to get ids from externalcontacts API in Python or convert to json

[jtran7]

Been using this api to get all the external ids in the org but I been having trouble trying to select all of them.
/api/v2/externalcontacts/contacts

However, I been unable to convert it successfully to a json object or grab all the ids I need.
I can access all the way to entities but it won't let me convert to json and when I sort them I can't get the 'id' key needed. Any recommendation on how to grab all the external contact ids from the results?

Api_resonse is the object/list returned from the api for python.

api_response.entities

I'm trying to get the ids for the contacts but it doesn't let me go further then entities in the object returned.

Hello,

entities is Python list.

You can loop through the elements with something like this:

for excontact in api_response.entities:
  print(excontact.id)
