So I have a page with JSON data for multiple devices, I retrieve the JSON and it gets "mapped" to the corresponding Struct, worked good but sometimes there will be no JSON available for a given device (this is to be expected) and since I'm using unwrap() rust will panic when this happens.

called Option::unwrap() on a None value

What would be the correct way to approach this? I'm thinking of using match but I'm unsure.

pub async fn get_alerts_device(device: u8) -> Result<Vec<MyAlerts>, reqwest::Error> {
    let client = reqwest::Client::new();
    let res = client
        .get("https://example.com/json-page")
        .send()
        .await?;

    let end: Device = res.json().await.unwrap();

    let deviceMap = end
        .device
        .get_key_value(format!("device-{}", device).as_str())
        .unwrap()
        .1;

    Ok(antennaMap.clone())

}

I've included the code in the function I'm mentioning so i hope it doesn't clutter to much. But ofcourse the focus lies with res.json().await.unwrap();

Thank you for your time and patience, I'm re-reading the book chapter on error handling as we speak!
