Is it possible to retrieve the first item in one line without looping over it and breaking? 

items1 = client.search().query(query="22",limit=1, ancestor_folder_ids=["159631784184"], sort="modified_at")
for item in items1:
    print(f'The item ID is {item.id} and the item name is {item.name}')
    item1 = item.id
    break

But, just doing: item1 = items1[0]

Returns: TypeError: 'LimitOffsetBasedObjectCollection' object is not subscriptable

  Hi!
  query() method returns BoxObjectCollection object, which inherits from Iterator. Therefore you can use either next() method exposed by BoxObjectCollection class or next() method inherited form Iterator class. To get first item you can do:

  item1 = items1.next() # recommended 

  or

  item1 = next(items1)
