Example

Lets say you had the following body:

{
	"response_code": 0,
	"results": [
		{
			"category": "General Knowledge",
			"type": "multiple",
			"difficulty": "hard",
			"question": "Which film star has his statue in Leicester Square?",
			"correct_answer": "Charlie Chaplin",
			"incorrect_answers": [
				"Paul Newman",
				"Rowan Atkinson ",
				"Alfred Hitchcock"
			]
		},
		{
			"category": "Entertainment: Film",
			"type": "multiple",
			"difficulty": "medium",
			"question": "Which former Star Trek actor directed Three Men and a Baby (1987)?",
			"correct_answer": "Leonard Nimoy",
			"incorrect_answers": [
				"William Shatner",
				"George Takei",
				"James Doohan"
			]
		}
	]
}

and you wanted to store the difficulty of the question with the category name of General Knowledge. The JavaScript would look like:

(metadata, body) => JSON.parse(body).results.find((item) => {return item.category == ${category}}).difficulty
