Failing to Loop through a nested object in node.js

Question

i am trying to loop through a nested object and save the data to my cloud firestore database but it is not working,

this is the structure of the object i have retrieved from an API call,

{
    "count": 133,
    "filters": {
        "dateFrom": "2021-04-12",

                "id": 3,

            },
            "referees": []
        }]}

this is my attempt to loop through the matches section of my object, i want to be able to iterate through each match while still being able to access sub objects within each iteration and set data in my cloud firestore database

   axios.request(options).then(function(response) {



    //console.log(typeof response); // check the type of response returning already in JSON format
    //console.log(response); // check the response object and based on key/values process it 

    const data = response.data; // if resp contains the data you will get it here.


    //console.log(response.data);

    /* for (let data1 in data.pagination) {
       // from the sample response you shared in the question 
       console.log(data1) // prints the keys
       console.log(data.pagination.data1) // prints the values*/

    for (i = 0; i < data.count; i++) {

        // from the sample response you shared in the question 
        // console.log(index);
        // console.log(data.f[data1]) // prints the keys
        // //console.log(data.pagination.data1) // prints the values

        const soccerData = {
            name: `${data.matches[i].competition.name}`,
            id: `${data.matches[i].competition.id}`
        };
        return db.collection('matches').doc(`${data.matches[i].id}`)
            .set(soccerData).then(() =>
                console.log('data written to database'));




    }


}).catch(function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});

To loop over matches use:

response.data.matches.forEach(match => {
  // do something with the match
  }
)

Instead of the for loop. You can then do

const soccerData = {
   name: `${match.competition.name}`,
   id: `${match.competition.id}`
}

and also:

return db.collection('matches').doc(`${match.id}`)
        .set(soccerData).then(() =>
            console.log('data written to database'));
