Json VBA Parse - Run time error 424 - Object required - json

Question

I am trying to extract value for regularMarketPreviousClose from the Yahoo API json reponse.
I get a Run time error 424 - Object required, in the line - Set price = reply("result").
Can someone figure out what's wrong in this code. I have provided both my code and the json data I get from Yahoo API.
Here is the json response text I get from yahoo API

Here is my VBA code
Sub RequestURL()
Dim i As Integer
Dim rstring As String
Dim item As Object
Dim lrow As Integer: lrow = Range("A10000").End(xlUp).Row
rstring = "https://yfapi.net/v6/finance/quote?region=US&lang=en&symbols="
For i = 2 To lrow
rstring = rstring & Tsheet.Range("A" & i).Value & "%2C"
Next i
rstring = Left(rstring, Len(rstring) - 3)
Dim request As New WinHttpRequest
Dim key As String
key = "mykey"
request.Open "get", rstring
request.SetRequestHeader "X-API-Key", key
request.Send
If request.Status <> 200 Then
MsgBox request.ResponseText
Else
MsgBox request.ResponseText
End If
' To access Data
Dim reply As Object
Set reply = JsonConverter.ParseJson(request.ResponseText)
Dim price As Collection
Set price = reply("result")
Dim result As Dictionary
For Each result In price
Debug.Print result("regularMarketPreviousClose")
Next
End Sub

Answer 1

JSON uses name value pairs format.
Curly brackets hold objects and square ones hold array.
Result is an object itself and holds array of objects in it.
Since , it is inside quoteResponse. You must address it first and then the result inside it.
Set price = reply("quoteResponse")("result")
