        """Returns the rich python representation of this response's data.

        For lower-level control, see `.read()`, `.json()`, `.iter_bytes()`.

        You can customise the type that the response is parsed into through
        the `to` argument, e.g.

        ```py
        from anthropic import BaseModel


        class MyModel(BaseModel):
            foo: str


        obj = response.parse(to=MyModel)
        print(obj.foo)
        ```

        We support parsing:
          - `BaseModel`
          - `dict`
          - `list`
          - `Union`
          - `str`
          - `int`
          - `float`
          - `httpx.Response`
        """

            return cached  # type: ignore[no-any-return]

        if not self._is_sse_stream:
            self.read()

        parsed = self._parse(to=to)
        if is_given(self._options.post_parser):
            parsed = self._options.post_parser(parsed)

        if isinstance(parsed, BaseModel):
            add_request_id(parsed, self.request_id)

        self._parsed_by_type[cache_key] = parsed
        return cast(R, parsed)
