Im trying to use a simple API with python. I get the data with the code below but, but I can't seem to parse it. When i print the type of variable "c" it says "unicode". I want a Json object or dictionary so I can use the information.
I have I tried various ways to solve this but I'm not sure if the output from the API (below) is actually Json or why it doesn't work properly.

There's two strategies you can use, response.json() will give you back a dict with all the JSON in key-value format using requests internal JSON parser, the other if you want to use the actual json library is to do json_data = json.loads(response.text) and allow the json library to parse it instead.
In general the requests JSON parser is probably enough for what you need.
Im trying to implement a function that will get the event from cloudwatch and print the results. I am able to get the event but I want to extract one particular key from that JSON.
Here is my function:
import json
def lambda_handler(event, context):
print("Received event: " + json.dumps(event, indent=2))
message = event['Records'][0]['Sns']['Message']
print(message)
The event got from Cloudwatch:

}

}
My extract command(Upto message) and its result:
message = event['Records'][0]['Sns']['Message']
print(message)
Result

I want to extract some values from this message pane.
For eg: I want to extract name. So I tried the below command, but unfortunately its not working. Can anyone help me on this?
my code for this:
message = event['Records'][0]['Sns']['Message']['Trigger']['Dimensions']['name']
print(message)
ERROR:
{
"stackTrace": [
[
"/var/task/lambda_function.py",
14,
"lambda_handler",
"message = event['Records'][0]['Sns']['Message']['Trigger']['Dimensions']['name']"
]
],
"errorType": "TypeError",
"errorMessage": "string indices must be integers"
}
So there are 3 problems:
Problem 1: In your example event, ['Records'][0]['Sns']['Message'] is a str in JSON format. That means that you need to parse to a dict like this:
message = event['Records'][0]['Sns']['Message']
message = json.loads(message)
Problem 2: message['Trigger']['Dimensions'] is a list but you are trying to access it like if it were a dict. So you only need to change your code to:
message = message['Trigger']['Dimensions'][0]['name']
Problem 3: Message is a str that means that you need to verify that is a plain str or json str (otherwise you are going to have problems with multiple structures and types). For that your code could look like:
message = event['Records'][0]['Sns']['Message']
if isinstance(message, str):
try:
message = json.loads(message)
except Exception as e:
print(e) # Or do nothing, this is just to log the error
elif isinstance(message, list):
message = message[0]
# Maybe evaluate bool, tuple, etc other types
print('RESPONSE', message['Trigger']['Dimensions'][0]['name'] if isinstance(message, dict) else message)
However I would also recommend to make it more extensible iterating the elements that you know are list. And for safety reasons (trying to avoid null pointer exceptions), use the get() function with a default value. http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/dictionary_get.htm . Try maybe to create a function to parse structures and make it reusable.
Good luck!
Just as Records is a list, so you use ['Records'][0]['Sns']..., so is Dimensions, so again you need to access the first element.
