API Testing - RestAssured - Looping

Question

I'm doing an assignment for school :

Requirement :

Create a search ("s) for the items containing "Fantabulous"
Verify that the movie with id "tt7713068" is in the list
Use a json path to generate a list of movie ID's and loop over it to search for the movie with the correct ID.

This is what I have:

//@Test
public void search_for_movies_on_string_and_validate_one_of_the_results() {
    Response response = given().
            param("apikey", apiKey).
            param("s", "Fantabulous").
        when().get(baseURI).
            then().extract().response();

        JsonPath jsonPath = response.jsonPath();

        List<String> idList = jsonPath.getList("Search.imdbID");
        Assert.assertTrue(idList.contains("tt7713068"));
}

How can I loop over a list to search for the movie with the correct ID?

apiKey = "7548cb76"

baseURI = "http://www.omdbapi.com/"

Count the size of the list that is returned
Loop over starting with 0 until the end of the size

Search for all ID's across the response that match your requirement "tt7713068", If it does then print the output

RestAssured.baseURI = "http://www.omdbapi.com";
Response response = given().param("apikey", "7548cb76").param("s", "Fantabulous").when().get(baseURI).then().extract().response();

JsonPath jsonPath = response.jsonPath();

int count = jsonPath.getInt("Search.size()");

String id = "tt1634278";

for(int i=0;i<count;i++)
{
    String search = jsonPath.getString("Search["+i+"].imdbID");
    if(search.equalsIgnoreCase(id))
    {
        String output = jsonPath.getString("Search["+i+"].Title");
        System.out.println("The ID "+id+" is present in the list and the name of the movie is "+output+"");
    }
}

Output :

The ID tt7713068 is present in the list and the name of the movie is Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
