this is my code:
del response.json() ["logs"]
print(response.json())
this is my JSON dictionary:

Every time you call response.json(), it returns a new dict, so the key you delete from response.json() won't be reflected in the next call to response.json().
You should instead save the returning value of response.json() to a variable before deleting the desired key:
data = response.json()
del data['results'][0]['logs']
print(data)
