V1 Developer API - repeated response?

[jjmpsp]

With the V1 API, I am seeing a repeated response from requests.

The following code:

chatbot = Chatbot(config={
  "email": "xxx",
  "password": "xxx"
})

prompt = "list the colours of the rainbow"

for data in chatbot.ask(
  prompt,
  conversation_id=chatbot.config.get("conversation"),
  parent_id=chatbot.config.get("parent_id"),
):
  print(data["message"])

produces:

I assume this is because the returned object is a generator?

<generator object Chatbot.ask at 0x000000F1A1F3BE20>

I want to do something like the following and then do operations on the output:

result = chatbot.ask(
  prompt,
  conversation_id=chatbot.config.get("conversation"),
  parent_id=chatbot.config.get("parent_id"),
)
print(result)

How do I go about getting a response as a single result?

Thank you

Thank you so much @acheong08! It was the len(prev_text) code snippet that helped!
This is my solution if anyone else wants it:

chatbot = Chatbot(config={
  "email": "xxx",
  "password": "xxx"
})

prompt = "how many beaches does portugal have?"
response = ""
prev_text = "" 

for data in chatbot.ask(
  prompt,
  conversation_id=chatbot.config.get("conversation"),
  parent_id=chatbot.config.get("parent_id"),
):
    response += data["message"][len(prev_text) :] 
    #print(message, end="", flush=False) 
    prev_text = data["message"] 

print(response)
