I have for example a log that will change each time it is run an example is below. I will like to take one of the value(id) lets say as a variable and log only the id to console or use that value somewhere else.
[
{
"#type": "type",
"href": [
{
"#url": "url1",
"#method": "get"
},
{
"#url": "url2",
"#method": "post"
},
{
"#url": "url3",
"#method": "post"
}
],
"id": "3",
"meta": [
{
"key": "key1",
"value": "value1"
},
{
"key": "key2",
"value": "value2"
}
]
}
]
I want to get the id in a variable because the id changes after each time the robot framework is ran
You can see here that the JSON you are getting is in list format. Which means that to get a value from the JSON, you'll first need to read the JSON object in, then get the dictionary out of the list and only then access the key value you'd need to extract.
Robot Framework supports using Python statements with Evaluate keyword. When we need to simply parse some string to JSON we can get by using
${DATA}= Evaluate json.loads("""${DATA}""")
Notice that the ${DATA} here should contain your JSON as a string.
Now that we have the JSON object, we can do whatever we want with it. We can actually see from your JSON that it is actually a dictionary nested inside a list object (See surrounding []). So first, extract dictionary from the list, then access the dictionary key normally. The following should work fine.
${DICT}= Get From List ${DATA} 0
${ID}= Get From Dictionary ${DICT} id

I have been using Python for a while and want to learn DBs now. I am trying to learn MongoDB.
Goal: To add a Nested dictionary to a key in a pre existing document.
I am using Pymongo for this.
Like for ex. I have this-
{'name':'Ryan', 'titles':[{'title_name':'Victory Set'}]}
And I want to add another dictionary in titles key, so that it looks like this-
{'name':'Ryan', 'titles':[{'title_name':'Victory Set'}, {'title_name':'Bronze Trial'}]}
I have seen you can use update_one or update_many to update a pre existing value, but couldn't find for adding new data.
How can I achieve this?
Try this instead, refer https://mongoplayground.net/p/P5w6bF0UtWj
db.collection.update({
"name": "Ryan"
},
{
"$push": {
"titles": {
"$each": [
{
"title_name": "Bronze Trial"
},
{
"title_name": "Silver Trial"
}
],
}
}
})
I am having a json in a file which i want to access in my Python Code. The Json file looks like :
{
"fc1" : {
region : "Delhi",
marketplace : "IN"
},
"fc2" : {
region : "Rajasthan",
marketplace : "IN"
}
}
The above json i want to use in my Python code. I want to access according to its keys("fc1", "fc2")
Since this is not like actual json, i am facing difficulty in accessing the values in json.
Is there any way in python language to access these type of json.
Thanks.
I agree with the comment that, if you generated that file, then you should put quotes around region and marketplace when generating it (or have the person who generated it do the same). However, if this absolutely isn't an option for whatever reason, the following approach might work:
import json
data_string = """
{
"fc1":{
region:"Delhi",
marketplace: "IN"
},
"fc2" : {
region:"Rajasthan",
marketplace: "IN"
}
}
"""
data = json.loads(data_string.replace('region', '"region"').replace('marketplace', '"marketplace"'))
data
>>>{'fc1': {'region': 'Delhi', 'marketplace': 'IN'},
'fc2': {'region': 'Rajasthan', 'marketplace': 'IN'}}
Note that you would have to do the same for any unquoted key.
There is module dirtyjson which reads this incorrect JSON.
import dirtyjson
data_string = """
{
"fc1":{
region:"Delhi",
marketplace: "IN"
},
"fc2" : {
region:"Rajasthan",
marketplace: "IN"
}
}
"""
data = dirtyjson.loads(data_string)
print(data)
print(data['fc1'])
print(data['fc2'])
I've got the same extact problem with Access JSON item when parent key name is unknown, but I work in python.
{
"query": {
"pages": {
"ramdom_number_here": {
"pageid": ramdom_number_here,
"ns": 0,
"title": "Hello",
"extract": "Hello world! Enchanté to meet you"
}
}
}
}
How to get extract given the random_number changing every time?
p.s. It's quite a duplicate question and I'm not sure if the best thing is to open a new question or to answer under the other.
In this case, the key doesn't matter. You just want the (only) value stored in the pages object.
pages = d['query']['pages'].values()
x = list(pages)[0]['extract']
I'm attempting to understand the basics of JSON and thought using some Google translate examples would be interesting. I'm not actually making requests via the API but they have the following example I have saved as "file.json":
{
"data": {
"detections": [
[
{
"language": "en",
"isReliable": false,
"confidence": 0.18397073
}
]
]
}
}
I'm reading in the file and used simplejson:
json_data = open('file.json').read()
json = simplejson.loads(json_data)
>>> json
{'data': {'detections': [[{'isReliable': False, 'confidence': 0.18397073, 'language': 'en'}]]}}
I've tried multiple ways to print the value of 'language' with no success. For example, this fails. Any pointers would be appreciated!
print json['detections']['language']
You need json['data']['detections'][0][0]['language']. As your example data shows, 'language' is a key of a dict that is inside a list that is inside another list that inside the 'detections' dict which is inside the 'data' dict.
I am new to python and django.
For my application in my django view, I am accepting array (and sub arrays) of JSON objects as request, by using json.loads I am trying to parse and iterate thru JSON objects but facing issues while parsing.
my javascript object sent from client is
var JSONObject = {
"employees_companyA":
[
{ "firstName":"John" , "lastName":"Doe" },
{ "firstName":"Anna" , "lastName":"Smith" },
{ "firstName":"Peter" , "lastName":"Jones" }
],
"employees_companyB":
[
{ "firstName":"John" , "lastName":"Doe" },
{ "firstName":"Anna" , "lastName":"Smith" },
{ "firstName":"Peter" , "lastName":"Jones" }
]
};
What is the best way to parse above two objects and read firstName, lastName for same.
I tried using o["firstName"], o.firstName etc (below is my code snippet)
json_obj = json.loads(request.POST['json_test'])
for o in json_obj:
temp_arr.append(o["firstName"])
I am sure this would be pretty straightforward but I couldn't find exact help here.
The top-level element of your JSON structure is not a list, but a mapping. It's keys are of the form "employees_companyA", "employees_companyB", etc.
You need to thus address that structure using the python mapping interface instead:
for value in json_obj.itervalues():
temp_arr.append(value[0]["firstName"])
or as a one-liner:
temp_arr = [value[0]['firstName'] for value in json_obj.itervalues()]
Both use the .itervalues() method on json_obj to loop over all the values in the structure.
