chore: put assert statements inside 'if TYPE_CHECKING:'

To be safe that we don't assert while running, put the assert
statements, which are used by mypy to check that types are correct,
inside an 'if TYPE_CHECKING:' block.

Also, instead of asserting that the item is a dict, instead assert
that it is not a requests.Response object. Theoretically the JSON
could return as a list or dict, though at this time we are assuming a
dict.
