Trouble extracting JSON when outer object omits name

I'm calling a rest service and getting back the below JSON. I tried to build a dynamic dataset but since the the JSON document omits the outer object I get errors 15358 and 15374 which I can't seem to find a work around. 

I then tried picking the specific data I need using:

oObject = CAST(oEntity, JsonObject).
oNestObject1 = oObject:GetJsonObject(""). /* this should be the name of the outer object */
cRequestID = oNestObject1:GetJsonText('requestId').

But without the name of the outer object I can't grab the value(s). Any ideas as to how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance,

Rod
