How to get a string with python api

Help
1

Hello, I’ve been building a booking application and my document looks like this:

{
  "ref": Ref(Collection("Appointments"), "357754933714354380"),
  "ts": 1677440557650000,
  "data": {
    "index": 241683429,
    "name": "Claudio Giusti",
    "instrument": "piano",
    "time": "18",
    "mobile": "7890"
  }
}

let’s say I want to get the string under the ‘name’ section, how do I do that?

I tried this python string:

client.query(q.get(q.ref(q.collection("Appointments"), event["ref"].id()), {"data": {"name"}}))

but it returns

Unserializable object {'name'} of type <class 'set'>

How do i solve that? Thanks, I’m a newbie.

I believe that you’re looking for Select.

client.query(
  q.select(
    ["data", "name"],
    q.get(
      q.ref(
        q.collection("Appointments"),
        event["ref"].id()
      )
    )
  )
)
