The moderators array will have an array of objects of which moderator is a Person type.
The “top mod” is also the owner, and they’ll always be the first entry in the moderators array from /api/v3/community
const comunityDetails = awaitfetch('https://intance.xyz/api/v3/community?community_id=12345')
// Not sure what attribute you need for the owner, but here I'm getting their actor_id (https://instance.xyz/u/username)const owner = communityDetails.moderators[0].moderator.actor_id
