You need to paste the JSON into http://json2apex.herokuapp.com/ and use the generated code. The tool produces Apex classes including a field per JSON field and then you will be able to parse with one JSON.deserialize.apex call. The code given below created from the JSON. It is possible to rename the classes and alter the data types. The code is given below:
//
// Generated by JSON2Apex http://json2apex.herokuapp.com/

public class JSON2Apex {
public class Status {
public String type;
public String message;
public Integer code;
public String code_message;
}
public class Requests {
public Request request;
}
public Response response;
public class Response {
public Integer count;
public Double benchmark;
public List requests;

The simplest technique to parse JSON data in Apex is by deploying the built-in JSON.deserialize() method. It consumes a JSon string and a class type as arguments and returns the object of the given class type.
