Skip to the edit as the information below is incorrect.
I need to check if a player's ID is in a dictionary table. The problem is that the ModuleScript I'm using to get the table will return it like this:
local table = {
['name'] = "123456789"
}
Because of this, I can't really use something like if table[player.UserId] then, where a key would be like ['123456789'] = true.
Is there a different way I could do this that would be compatible with this?
I do not need the key to have a specific name. Thank you!
BIG EDIT: Apparently, the ModuleScript actually returns an array like this:
[{name="cardName",desc="cardDescription",...},{name="cardName",desc="cardDescription",...}]
This completely changes my question, sorry for the confusion.

what are the names of the keys in the table?
the names of the key would always be 'name', but I just used 'id' as an example because the key name doesn't matter. now that I think about it, it might actually since the key name is always the same thing.
editing now to have the key name as "name"..
i'm still confused because you can't have multiple keys with the same name. what is name? the player's name?
the API is going to return a new table every time, so the keys won't be in the same table. the key's name is always "name", the value is going to be the player's id. I can't change how the API works, so I'm stuck with this.
for reference, the API will give the JSON under the "Response" section at the link https://getenveloped.com/trelloapi/detail.php?resource=GetCardsInList but it will be decoded to a table with JSONDecode.
im helping someone else ill help u in a bit
okay, also apparently it actually returns an array like [{name="cardName",desc="cardDescription",...},{name="cardName",desc="cardDescription",...}] which changes my question quite a bit
so what's the question now?
almost the same thing, I want to search if a key in the array with the name "name" matches the user's ID.
