This the json file, I want to access the token ID and write it to a file , I try this method but it fails:
python:
data=json.loads(content.getvalue())
result=json.dumps(data, indent=4, separators = (', ', ': '))
f=open("/home/moby/writing.txt","w")
f.write(result.access.token.id)
f.close()
json:
{
"access": {
"token": {
"issued_at": "2013-12-19T05:16:05.901222",
"expires": "2013-12-20T05:16:05Z",
"id": "d08249e885b24d248f7935a1aa528e28",
"tenant": {
"enabled": true,
"description": null,
"name": "admin",
"id": "de30c00c1a8a488999bfb557f8748222"
}
}
}
}
Any Help? Thanks in advance
Um...
with open("/home/moby/writing.txt","w") as f:
f.write(data[u'access'][u'token'][u'id'])
json.loads produces a dictionary, and that's not how you use a dictionary.
Get the data you need by using the keys:
.write(data[u'result'][u'access'][u'token'][u'id'])

EDITED WITH LARGER JSON:
I have the following JSON and I need to get id element: 624ff9f71d847202039ec220
results": [

}
...
Here is my code (EDITED)
url = "API_URL"
response = urllib.urlopen(url)
data = json.loads(response.read().decode("utf-8"))
print url
all_ids = []
for i in data['results']: # i is a dictionary
for variable in i['settings']['dataEntities']['variables']:
print(variable['id'])
all_ids.append(variable['id'])
But I have the following error:
for variable in i['settings']['dataEntities']['variables']:
KeyError: 'dataEntities'
Could you please help?
Thanks!!
What is it printing when you print(fetc)? If you format the json, it will be easier to read, the current nesting is very hard to comprehend.
fetc is a string, not a dict. If you want the dict, you have to use the key.
Try:
url = "API_URL"
response = urllib.urlopen(url)
data = json.loads(response.read().decode("utf-8"))
print url
for i in data['results']:
print(json.dumps(i['settings']))
print(i['settings']['dataEntities']
EDIT: To get to the id field, you'll need to dive further.
i['settings']['dataEntities']['variables'][0]['id']
So if you want all the ids you'll have to loop over the variables (assuming the list is more than one)`, and if you want them for all the settings, you'll need to loop over that too.
Full solution for you to try (EDITED after you uploaded the full JSON):
url = "API_URL"
response = urllib.urlopen(url)
data = json.loads(response.read().decode("utf-8"))
print url
all_ids = []
for i in data['results']: # i is a dictionary
for variable in i['settings']['dataEntities']['variables']:
print(variable['id'])
all_ids.append(variable['id'])
all_ids.append(variable['device']['id']
Let me know if that works.
The shared JSON is not valid. A valid JSON similar to yours is:
{
"results": [
{
"settings": {
"dataFetch": "static",
"dataEntities": {
"variables": [
{
"id": "624ffa191d84720202e2ed4a",
"name": "temp1",
"span": "inherit",
"color": "#2ccce4",
"device": {
"id": "624ff9f71d847202039ec220"
}
}
]
}
}
}
]
}
In order to get a list of ids from your JSON you need a double for cycle. A Pythonic code to do that is:
all_ids = [y["device"]["id"] for x in my_json["results"] for y in x["settings"]["dataEntities"]["variables"]]
Where my_json is your initial JSON.
JSON:
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"9": {
"1695056": {
"id": "1695056",
[...]
},
"csevents": {
"2807": {
"id": "2807",
"startdate": "2019-01-24 18:45:00",
"service_texts": [],
"eventTemplate": "1"
},
"2810": {
"id": "2810",
"startdate": "2019-01-31 18:45:00",
"service_texts": [],
"eventTemplate": "1"
}
}
},
"1695309": {
"id": "1695309",
[...]
},
"csevents": {
"3601": {
"id": "3601",
"startdate": "2019-05-17 18:45:00",
"service_texts": [],
"eventTemplate": "1"
}
I try to get the members from "csevents" ("2807", "2810", 3601") with python. Problem is that i don't know the IDs in "9" ("1695056", "1695309") while coding.
So i tried to iterate through "9" and then through "csevents" but if i iterate through "9" i only get a string so i can't iterate through "csevents" anymore.
Python:
for whatever in json_object['data']['9']:
for id in whatever['csevents']:
print(id)
So that doesn't work. Does anybody know how I can solve that?
Thanks
Had to clean up your JSON string to get it to work, but looking at your solution is seems like you're iterating directly from your dict, what you should be using is .items() or .values():
for key, value in json_object['data']['9'].items():
# We can use .keys() here since we only need the IDs from csevents
csevent_keys = list(value['csevents'].keys())
print(csevent_keys)
# Output
['2807', '2810']
['3601']
I have the following dictionary in python which I'm saving into a file:
d2 = {
"CHARACTER": {
"IDENTITY": {
"FORM": {
"id": "BK1",
"type": "MAGE",
"role": "DARK"
}
},
"USER": {
"owner": {
"id": "SABBATH13"
},
"level": "16"
}
}
}
jsonfile = open('d2.json', 'w')
jsonfile.write(simplejson.dumps(d2, indent=4))
jsonfile.close()
However, I'm told this is a JSON object, which I need to turn into a JSON array of the form:
[{
"CHARACTER": {
"IDENTITY": {
"FORM": {
"id": "BK1",
"type": "MAGE",
"role": "DARK"
}
},
"USER": {
"owner": {
"id": "SABBATH13"
},
"level": "16"
}
}
}]
Which is essentially adding square brackets at the beginning and end.
What is the proper way to do this? Should I convert to string and add brackets, then convert back? Sorry, total JSON newbie here.
You're thinking at the wrong level of abstraction. It's not about the brackets, it's about that you have a data structure which is an object, when what you apparently need is a list/array of objects (even if there's just one object in the list). So:
d2 = [d2]
Now dumps this and you get what you need.
I have a JSON response as such:
{
"SiteInfo": [
{
"'LOB03023D'": {
"errorText": "Success",
"status": "1",
"parameterList": {
"aloha_mask": "255.255.255.0",
"beta_mask": "255.255.255.224",
"omega_mask": "0",
}
}
}
],
"Error Text": null,
"API RequestID": "11",
"Status": 1,
"Username": "NMS#internal.com",
"TransactionID": "1467626",
"Error Code": null,
"GetSiteInfoTimeStamp": "2017-02-23 21:32:42"
}
In my script after loading the response as such:
ubdataset = json.loads(response.text)
How can I access only the 'aloha_mask' field?
The following did not work for me:
aloha = ubdataset['SiteInfo']['LOB03023D']['parameterList'][0]['aloha_mask']
Thanks everyone in advance!
Try changing it to this:
aloha = ubdataset['SiteInfo'][0]["'LOB03023D'"]['parameterList']['aloha_mask']
Parameter list is not a list, your statement should be:
aloha = ubdataset['SiteInfo'][0]["'LOB03023D'"]['parameterList']['aloha_mask']
Although the request is not valid json the last element in parameterList has a comma that should not be there.
I would like to make the following JSON syntax output with python:
data={
"timestamp": "1462868427",
"sites": [
{
"name": "SiteA",
"zone": 1
},
{
"name": "SiteB",
"zone": 7
}
]
}
But I cannot manage to get the 'outer' data key there.
So far I got this output without the data key:
{
"timestamp": "1462868427",
"sites": [
{
"name": "SiteA",
"zone": 1
},
{
"name": "SiteB",
"zone": 7
}
]
}
I have tried with this python code:
sites = [
{
"name":"nameA",
"zone":123
},
{
"name":"nameB",
"zone":324
}
]
data = {
"timestamp": 123456567,
"sites": sites
}
print(json.dumps(data, indent = 4))
But how do I manage to get the outer 'data' key there?
Once you have your data ready, you can simply do this :
data = {'data': data}
JSON doesn't have =, it's all key:value.
What you're looking for is
data = {
"data": {
"timestamp": 123456567,
"sites": sites
}
}
json.dumps(data)
json.dumps() doesn't care for the name you give to the data object in python. You have to specify it manually inside the object, as a string.
