How to iterate object keys using *ngFor

Question

I want to iterate [object object] using *ngFor in Angular 2.

The problem is the object is not array of object but object of object which contains further objects.

{

  "data": {
    "id": 834,
    "first_name": "GS",
    "last_name": "Shahid",
    "phone": "03215110224",
    "role": null,
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "picture": **{ <-- I want to get thumb: url but not able to fetch that**
      "url": null,
      "thumb": {
        "url": null
      }
    },
    "address": "Nishtar Colony",
    "city_id": 2,
    "provider": "email",
    "uid": "[email protected]"
  }
}

I know we can use pipe to iterate the object but how we can iterate further from object to object means data->picture->thum:url.

@Component({
  selector: 'keyvalue-pipe',
  template: `<span>
    <p>Object</p>
    <div *ngFor="let item of object | keyvalue">
      {{item.key}}:{{item.value}}
    </div>
    <p>Map</p>
    <div *ngFor="let item of map | keyvalue">
      {{item.key}}:{{item.value}}
    </div>
  </span>`
})
export class KeyValuePipeComponent {
  object: {[key: number]: string} = {2: 'foo', 1: 'bar'};
  map = new Map([[2, 'foo'], [1, 'bar']]);
}

You can use a pipe

@Pipe({ name: 'keys',  pure: false })
export class KeysPipe implements PipeTransform {
    transform(value: any, args: any[] = null): any {
        return Object.keys(value)//.map(key => value[key]);
    }
}

<div *ngFor="let key of objs | keys">
