Using Tenor API in Python for printing gifs - python

So, I am trying to print out gifs by using Tenor API.
I want it to only print one gif link but it prints out everything any Idea how to fix this?
Thank you.

Sadly, I can not tell you the exact problem you are having, I replicated your code and used the official API Docs here
From what I can tell, this is one GIF just in a lot of different formats.
You can filter them like so:
print(top_8gifs['weburl'])
or
print(top_8gifs['results'][0])
EDIT: Looking at your .png (please embed it as code in the future) this should work for you, if you want the url:
print(top_8gifs[0]['url'])
A Python dict you can select using the key (like gifs['weburl'])
A Python list you have to select by index so gifs[0]
Using these techniques you can gather the data you need from that output.

Using Python - convert string into JSON only instead of - dict of dict?

I am creating a watcher for my Videos section in youtube which will keep monitoring the stats of latest video uploaded. I am not using Selenium because it will keep the browser engaged and interrupt. But using requests_html to load the /videos page and return me the stats like how many view are now and send me a message on Telegram app.
So when I did requests_html call i retrieve a small json which has all the videos & stats but the command json.load() actually coverts it into dict of dict. The intention is to use the result of json.load() as JSON so that I can perform json parsing.
Attached the snapshot of JSON structure and highlighted the desired keys
I couldnt find any better example that tell me how to convert it into just JSON instead of dict of dict. because there are multiple levels approx 20+ to retrieve the desired key value. I have seen very simple example that do the following, but it is not possible to write those many nodes in the below statement.
aKeyValue = dictName['parentnode']['childNode']
Secondly if it is just JSON then I believe jsonpath_ng and its parse methods can be used to retrieve a desired key with having to provide the complete path from root. If this is tnot the right way, please suggest any other Py Module.
the recursive functions didnt work properly. I tried may be 10+ different functions, none worked on the JSON. Finally I found jsonpath-ng to work after I read thru its entire documentation
It was pretty simple, I dont know why I didnt figure this out earlier.
json.loads(jsonString)
parse($..gridRenderer.items[0].gridVideoRenderer.viewCountText.simpleText)
But at the same time the statement below doesnt work. Although statement below wasnt required, but i just tried. It worked on jsonpath evaluator online but not in the python code.
$..gridRenderer.items[0].gridVideoRenderer.viewCountText[?(simpleText="5927 views")]
If someone could point out why the above statement wouldnt work in python code ?

Sharing files in Google Drive using Python

There are plenty of resources involving sharing files in Google Drive but I can't find anything useful to Python and the references by Google aren't Python-specific.
I've saved an item ID into the variable selected_id. In this case, I want to make that file shareable by URL to anyone for reading.
service.permissions().create(body={"role":"reader", "type":"anyone"}, fileId=selected_id)
This is what I have so far but I don't think I formatted it correctly at all.
Like the title states, how would I share a file by ID on GDrive using Python? Thanks in advance.
Looks like you've got the correct format as per Permissions:Create
Perhaps you just need to add .execute() on the end?
service.permissions().create(body={"role":"reader", "type":"anyone"}, fileId=selected_id).execute()
Also is you're looking for examples using the Python API check out the following repository:
https://github.com/gsuitedevs/python-samples
I would image that you're code might look like something similar to this:

How to get changing information from a webpage in Python

I am new with Python and am trying to create a program that will read in changing information from a webpage. I'm not sure if what I'm wanting to do is something simple or possible but in my head it seems do-able and relatively. Specifically I am interested in pulling in the song names from Pandora as they change. I have tried looking into just reading in information from a webpage using something like
import urllib
import re
page = urllib.urlopen("http://google.com").read()
re.findall("Shopping", page)
['Shopping']
page.find("Shopping")
However this isn't really what I'm wanting due to it getting information that doesn't change. Any advice or a link to helpful information about reading in changing info from a webpage would be greatly appreciated.
The only way this is possible (without some type of advanced algorithm) is if there are some elements of the page that do NOT change, which you can specify your program to look for. Otherwise, I believe you will need some sort of advanced logic. After all, computers can only do what we instruct them to do. Sorry :)

Charts from Excel to PowerPoint with Python

I have an excel workbook that is created using an excellent "xlsxwriter" module. In this workbook, there about about 200 embedded charts. I am now trying to export all those charts into several power point presentations. Ideally, I want to preserve the original format and embedded data without linking to external excel work book.
I am sure there is a way to do this using VBA. But, I was wondering if there is a way to do this using Python. Is there a way to put xlsxwriter chart objects into powerpoints ?
I have looked at python-pptx and can't find anything about getting charts or data series from excel work book.
Any help is appreciated !
After spending hours of trying different things, I have found the solution to this problem. Hopefully,it will help someone save some time.The following code will copy all the charts from "workbook_with_charts.xlsx" to "Final_PowerPoint.pptx."
For some reason, that I am yet to understand, it works better when running this Python program from CMD terminal. It sometimes breaks down if you tried to run this several times, even though the first run is usually OK.
Another issue is that in the fifth line, if you make False using "presentation=PowerPoint.Presentations.Add(False)," it does not work with Microsoft Office 2013, even though both "True" and "False" will still work with Microsoft Office 2010.
It would be great if someone can clarify these about two issues.
# importing the necessary libraries
import win32com.client
from win32com.client import constants
PowerPoint=win32com.client.Dispatch("PowerPoint.Application")
Excel=win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
presentation=PowerPoint.Presentations.Add(True)
workbook=Excel.Workbooks.Open(Filename="C:\\.........\\workbook_with_charts.xlsx",ReadOnly=1,UpdateLinks=False)
for ws in workbook.Worksheets:
for chart in ws.ChartObjects():
# Copying all the charts from excel
chart.Activate()
chart.Copy()
Slide=presentation.Slides.Add(presentation.Slides.Count+1,constants.ppLayoutBlank)
Slide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(constants.ppPasteShape)
# WE are going to make the title of slide the same chart title
# This is optional
textbox=Slide.Shapes.AddTextbox(1,100,100,200,300)
textbox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text=str(chart.Chart.ChartTitle.Text)
presentation.SaveAs("C:\\...........\\Final_PowerPoint.pptx")
presentation.Close()
workbook.Close()
print 'Charts Finished Copying to Powerpoint Presentation'
Excel.Quit()
PowerPoint.Quit()
The approach I'd be inclined toward with the current python-pptx version is to read the Excel sheets for their data and recreate the charts in python-pptx. That of course would require knowing what the chart formatting is, etc., so I could see why you might not want to do that.
Importing charts directly from Excel has been done in the past, see the pull request here on GitHub: https://github.com/scanny/python-pptx/pull/65
But it involved a large amount of surgery on python-pptx, and many versions back now, so at most it might be a good guide to what strategies might work. You'd need to want it pretty bad I suppose to go that route :)
I don't have enough reputation to comment but if you get the same issue as #R__raki__ then you can use the integer value defined by the VBA reference. For this case it would be 12.
So replace
Slide=presentation.Slides.Add(presentation.Slides.Count+1,constants.ppLayoutBlank)
with
Slide=presentation.Slides.Add(presentation.Slides.Count+1,12)

how to read a quicktime header with python

I want to get the original creation date of quicktime videos created on my Canon 60d for use in a python script I've written to help me sort my movies. How can I get at the information stored in quicktime headers with python?
If there's nothing existing in vanilla python to help me, I thought I might give this a whirl.
videoParser works well. I remember trying it out. If for any reason that does not satisfy your needs, try this http://pypi.python.org/pypi/hachoir-metadata/1.2.1
