how to convert Object into any type in this situation

So I have the following problem, I need to pass the data Object into this method but the problem is that it says it doesn’t have the hits property, usually I would just do (data:any) but since I also need the news data I can’t, any way to solve this?

public getDataByPage(contentType: string, pageNum: number): void {
    this.http.get(`https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date?query=${contentType}&page=${pageNum}&hitsPerPage=16`).pipe(
      take(1),
      withLatestFrom(this.news$),
      tap(([data, news]) =>{
        this.parseNewsData([...news, ...data.hits]);
      })
    ).subscribe();
  };

>Solution :

this.parseNewsData([...news, ...(data as any).hits]);

Does this solve you problem?
