looping through a array of hashes that nested in another array

I have the following Hash with a array inside a array inside the hash. The inner array is a array of hashes. I am having trouble figuring out how to access them.

{"AssetWarrantyResponse"=>
    [{"AssetHeaderData"=>
        {"BUID"=>"11", "ServiceTag"=>"GH3RV12", "ShipDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "CountryLookupCode"=>"US", "LocalChannel"=>"45", "CustomerNumber"=>"127963428", "ItemClassCode"=>"RK003", "IsDuplicate"=>false, "MachineDescription"=>"OptiPlex 3020", "OrderNumber"=>"631899941", "ParentServiceTag"=>nil},
      "ProductHeaderData"=>
        {"SystemDescription"=>"OptiPlex 3020", "ProductId"=>"optiplex-3020-desktop", "ProductFamily"=>"Desktops & All-in-Ones", "LOB"=>"OptiPlex", "LOBFriendlyName"=>"OptiPlex"}, 
     "AssetEntitlementData"=>[
        {"StartDate"=>"2022-06-07T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-08T00:00:00", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"DL", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"999-0036"}, 
        {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell Digitial Delivery", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"D", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"422-0052"}, 
        {"StartDate"=>"2015-06-06T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2017-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Next Business Day Onsite", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"ND", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>5, "EntitlementType"=>"EXTENDED", "ServiceProvider"=>"UNY", "ItemNumber"=>"939-7368"}, 
        {"StartDate"=>"2015-06-06T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2017-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"ProSupport", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"TS", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>8, "EntitlementType"=>"EXTENDED", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"939-7738"},
        {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2015-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Next Business Day Onsite", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"ND", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>5, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"UNY", "ItemNumber"=>"939-6888"}, 
        {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2015-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"ProSupport", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"TS", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>8, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"939-7718"}, 
        {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-08T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell Digitial Delivery", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"D", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"422-0008"}, 
        {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-08T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell Digitial Delivery", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"D", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"421-9491"}, 
        {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-08T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell Digitial Delivery", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"D", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"421-9982"}
    ]}
], 
"InvalidFormatAssets"=>{"BadAssets"=>[]}, "InvalidBILAssets"=>{"BadAssets"=>[]}, "ExcessTags"=>{"BadAssets"=>[]}, "AdditionalInformation"=>nil}

The following code returns the full array of hashed instead of looping through the hashes.

@hash['AssetWarrantyResponse'][0]['AssetEntitlementData'].each do |k| k['StartDate'] end

returns:

[{"StartDate"=>"2022-06-07T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-08T00:00:00", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"DL", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"999-0036"}, {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell Digitial Delivery", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"D", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"422-0052"}, {"StartDate"=>"2015-06-06T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2017-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Next Business Day Onsite", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"ND", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>5, "EntitlementType"=>"EXTENDED", "ServiceProvider"=>"UNY", "ItemNumber"=>"939-7368"}, {"StartDate"=>"2015-06-06T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2017-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"ProSupport", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"TS", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>8, "EntitlementType"=>"EXTENDED", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"939-7738"}, {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2015-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Next Business Day Onsite", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"ND", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>5, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"UNY", "ItemNumber"=>"939-6888"}, {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2015-06-05T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"ProSupport", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"TS", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>8, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"939-7718"}, {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-08T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell Digitial Delivery", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"D", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"422-0008"}, {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-08T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell Digitial Delivery", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"D", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"421-9491"}, {"StartDate"=>"2014-06-05T00:00:00", "EndDate"=>"2022-06-08T23:59:59", "ServiceLevelDescription"=>"Dell Digitial Delivery", "ServiceLevelCode"=>"D", "ServiceLevelGroup"=>11, "EntitlementType"=>"INITIAL", "ServiceProvider"=>"DELL", "ItemNumber"=>"421-9982"}]

Could someone point me in the right direction? I want to loop through each hash.

Array#each returns the original array. In calling each with a block on the "AssetEntitlementData", you'll call the block on each hash in the array, and then return the original array. If you're trying to return an array of "StartDate" values, try this:

@hash['AssetWarrantyResponse'][0]['AssetEntitlementData'].map do |h| 
  h['StartDate']
end

Array#map will return an array with the result of calling the block on each element.
