[Python] blackboxprotobuf showing positive values instead of negative values for protobuf...

I have an issue where blackboxprotobuf takes response of protobuf & returning the dictionary where i see few values where suppose to be negative instead coming as positive value.

Calling an APi with lat (40.741895) & long(-73.989308). Using these lat & long, a key is genereated '81859706' that be used in the api.

For Key Generation we are using paid framework.

url = "https://gspe85-ssl.ls.apple.com/wifi_request_tile"

response =requests.get(url, headers={
'Accept': '*/*',
'Connection': 'keep-alive',
'X-tilekey': "81859706",
'User-Agent': 'geod/1 CFNetwork/1496.0.7 Darwin/23.5.0',
'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en-GB;q=0.9,en;q=0.8',
'X-os-version': '17.5.21F79'
})


Which returns protobuf as response. For the same using blackboxprotobuf to convert protobuf_to_json

snippet

message, typedef = blackboxprotobuf.protobuf_to_json(response.content)
json1_data = json.loads(message)


Response:

"2": [
{
"4": {
"2": {
"1": 1,
"2": 1
}
},
"5": 124103876854927,
"6": {
"1": 407295068,
"2": 3555038608 //This values should be negative
}
},


Any help how to debug this response & fix this issue.

Thank you
