List object has no attribute 'detectedLanguage'

I'm using microsoft azure translator api to detect and translate the language the user is inputting and translating it back to english. After translating it, I'm printing the results in json format, which can be seen here: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Zcq9l.png
Afterwards, I'm trying to print whatever is translated after the 'text:' bit, however, I keep getting an error each time I try to do so. I tried using a for loop and referencing them, but it doesn't work.
Here is the code bit:
path = '/translate'
constructed_url = endpoint + path
params = {
'api-version': '3.0',
'to': ['en']
}
constructed_url = endpoint + path
headers = {
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': subscription_key,
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region': location,
'Content-type': 'application/json',
'X-ClientTraceId': str(uuid.uuid4())
}
user_input = input("You: ")
body = [{
"text": user_input
}]
request = requests.post(constructed_url, params=params, headers=headers, json=body)
response = request.json()
json_data = json.dumps(response, sort_keys=True, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4, separators=(",", ": "))
print(json_data)
print("Translated Text: " + response.detectedLanguage.translations.text)
The final line is what's causing the error, but I'm not sure how to resolve it. I would appreciate if someone can guide me accordingly.

The object is a List of Dictionaries (just one in this case). As seen in the linked image.
In this particular case, to reach the translation text, you need to do:
response[0]["translations"]["text"]

New Twitch API getting json data Python 3

I am trying to get a python script to say whether a twitch channel is live but haven't been able to do it, any and all help would be appreciated.
here are the docs I've been able to find
https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/guide
This is what I have atm but I keep on getting "'set' object has no attribute 'items'". This is modified code from "Is There Any Way To Check if a Twitch Stream Is Live Using Python?" however it is now outdated because of the new API.
import requests
def checkUser():
API_HEADERS = {
'Client-ID : [client id here from dev portal]',
'Accept : application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json',
}
url = "https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams/[streamer here]"
req = requests.Session().get(url, headers=API_HEADERS)
jsondata = req.json()
print(jsondata)
checkUser()

The answer to your problem of "'set' object has no attribute 'items'" is just a simple typo. It should be
API_HEADERS = {
'Client-ID' : '[client id here from dev portal]',
'Accept' : 'application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json'
}
Notice how the Colon's aren't part of the text now
And to answer your overarching question of how to tell if a channel is online you can look at this sample code I made.
import requests
URL = 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=[Channel_Name_Here]'
authURL = 'https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token'
Client_ID = [Your_client_ID]
Secret = [Your Client_Secret]
AutParams = {'client_id': Client_ID,
'client_secret': Secret,
'grant_type': 'client_credentials'
}
def Check():
AutCall = requests.post(url=authURL, params=AutParams)
access_token = AutCall.json()['access_token']
head = {
'Client-ID' : Client_ID,
'Authorization' : "Bearer " + access_token
}
r = requests.get(URL, headers = head).json()['data']
if r:
r = r[0]
if r['type'] == 'live':
return True
else:
return False
else:
return False
print(Check())

How to write a python loop to change a value for a dictionary key in API request?

I am writing an API request that gives paginated results.
To get results from the next page I need to take a value of 'next_page_cursor' and put it in the parameters of my request that is a dictionary.
This is what I have tried so far. Need to keep changing cursor value in params until there are no more pages.
params = {'title': 'Cybertruck',
'per_page':100,
'cursor': '*'
}
response = requests.get("https://api.aylien.com/news/stories",
headers = headers, params=params).json()
if "next_page_cursor" in response:
cursor = response["next_page_cursor"]

You can use a while loop:
params = {
"title": "Cybertruck",
"per_page": 100,
"cursor": "initial_cursor"
}
def make_request(params)
return requests.get("https://api.aylien.com/news/stories",
headers=headers, params=params).json()
result = []
response = make_request(params)
while "next_page_cursor" in response:
params["cursor"] = response["next_page_cursor"]
response = make_request(params)
result.append(response["information_your_are_interested_in"])

Modifying API script to stop while loop when counter > x in Python?

it is my first time posting here so forgive me if my question is not up to par. As part of my job duties, I have to run API scripts from time to time though I really only have a basic understanding of python.
Below is a while loop:
hasMoreEntries = events['has_more'];
while (hasMoreEntries):
url = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team_log/get_events/continue"
headers = {
"Authorization": 'Bearer %s' % aTokenAudit,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
data = {
"cursor": events['cursor']
}
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
events = r.json()
hasMoreEntries = events['has_more'];
for event in events['events']:
counter+=1;
print 'member id %s has done %s activites' % (memberId, counter)
From my understanding, the while loop will continuously count events and add to the counter. Because some users have too many events, I was thinking of stopping the counter at 5000 but not sure how to do so. Would adding an if/else somewhere work?

You can add a check that the counter is less than your maximum that you want it to get to in your while condition. e.g:
while hasMoreEntries and counter<=5000:
<snip>

Because you already increased the counter at the end of while, you can just only need to check the value of counter before each loop iteration. And based on comments of soon and Keerthana, here is my suggestion (I use the get() method just to avoid KeyError):
has_more_entries = events.get('has_more', None)
while (has_more_entries and counter<=5000):
url = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team_log/get_events/continue"
headers = {
"Authorization": 'Bearer %s' % aTokenAudit,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
data = {
"cursor": events['cursor']
}
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
events = r.json()
has_more_entries = events.get('has_more', None)
if events.get('events', None):
counter += len(events['events'])
You can also take a look at the PEP8 coding style in Python here if you're interested

API not accepting my JSON data from Python

I'm new to Python and dealing with JSON. I'm trying to grab an array of strings from my database and give them to an API. I don't know why I'm getting the missing data error. Can you guys take a look?
###########################################
rpt_cursor = rpt_conn.cursor()
sql="""SELECT `ContactID` AS 'ContactId' FROM
`BWG_reports`.`bounce_log_dummy`;"""
rpt_cursor.execute(sql)
row_headers=[x[0] for x in rpt_cursor.description] #this will extract row headers
row_values= rpt_cursor.fetchall()
json_data=[]
for result in row_values:
json_data.append(dict(zip(row_headers,result)))
results_to_load = json.dumps(json_data)
print(results_to_load) # Prints: [{"ContactId": 9}, {"ContactId": 274556}]
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
}
targetlist = '302'
# This is for their PUT to "add multiple contacts to lists".
api_request_url = 'https://api2.xyz.com/api/list/' + str(targetlist)
+'/contactid/Api_Key/' + bwg_apikey
print(api_request_url) #Prints https://api2.xyz.com/api/list/302/contactid/Api_Key/#####
response = requests.put(api_request_url, headers=headers, data=results_to_load)
print(response) #Prints <Response [200]>
print(response.content) #Prints b'{"status":"error","Message":"ContactId is Required."}'
rpt_conn.commit()
rpt_cursor.close()
###########################################################
Edit for Clarity:
I'm passing it this [{"ContactId": 9}, {"ContactId": 274556}]
and I'm getting this response body b'{"status":"error","Message":"ContactId is Required."}'
The API doc gives this as the from to follow for the request body.
[
{
"ContactId": "string"
}
]
When I manually put this data in there test thing I get what I want.
[
{
"ContactId": "9"
},
{
"ContactId": "274556"
}
]
Maybe there is something wrong with json.dumps vs json.load? Am I not creating a dict, but rather a string that looks like a dict?
EDIT I FIGURED IT OUT!:
This was dumb.
I needed to define results_to_load = [] as a dict before I loaded it at results_to_load = json.dumps(json_data).
Thanks for all the answers and attempts to help.

I would recommend you to go and check the API docs to be specific, but from it seems, the API requires a field with the name ContactID which is an array, rather and an array of objects where every object has key as contactId
Or
//correct
{
contactId: [9,229]
}
instead of
// not correct
[{contactId:9}, {contactId:229}]
Tweaking this might help:
res = {}
contacts = []
for result in row_values:
contacts.append(result)
res[contactId] = contacts
...
...
response = requests.put(api_request_url, headers=headers, data=res)

I FIGURED IT OUT!:
This was dumb.
I needed to define results_to_load = [] as an empty dict before I loaded it at results_to_load = json.dumps(json_data).
