There is nothing special you really have to do. If you have an associative array like this (In Python called a dictionary):

a = {
    "id": [1234567, 55555, 4444444]
}

And you want to pass your dictionary (associative array) the way you are trying to do in your example, you just need to do this:

GetLastData(a)

If you are looking to pass specific data from your associative array / dictionary, then you can do this:

GetLastData(a.get("id"))

or

GetLastData(a["id"])

I would suggest using get as the default return will be None if the "id" key is not found. If you access with the "square brackets", it would throw a key error, and you would have to handle accordingly.
