I'm new to REST API and am having some trouble. I'm trying to call data from an array that's nested within a dictionary. While I've been able to pull data from other variables fine, this is giving me some problems. For reference, the URL I need is labeled "front default," inside the "sprites" array. Furthermore, the URL is that of an image, and I am using Alamofire Image to display images. I will include the code I've used thus far to call other variables, along with a link to the API.

guard let name = jsonDictionary["name"] as? String,
let id = jsonDictionary["id"] as? Int,

let abilities = jsonDictionary["abilities"] as? [[String: Any]],
let types = jsonDictionary["types"] as? [[String: Any]]
else {
return nil
};
var abilityNames: [String] = []
var typeNames: [String] = []

for abilityDictionary in abilities {
guard let ability = abilityDictionary["ability"] as? [String: Any], let name = ability["name"] as? String else { break }
abilityNames.append(name)
};
for typeDictionary in types {
guard let type = typeDictionary["type"] as? [String: Any], let name = type["name"] as? String else { break }
typeNames.append(name)
}
self.name = name
self.id = id
self.abilities = abilityNames
self.types = typeNames
}
}
