I have functions witch generate data witch I add t dict the think is there I want my json file to look like this 1.to have multiple data not only one key value pair like in my code:
{"data":[
{"key":"Shyam", "value":10.4},
{"key":"Bob", "value":12.5},
{"key":"Jai", "value":24.2}
]}
This is how is look like the moment only one key value pair is added:
{
"key": "Amadm",
"value": 14.5
}
This is my code to assign to dict before json dumps.
:
def gen_dict(key, value, ts):
data = {
"name": key,
"value": value,
"ts": ts
}
return data
json_object = json.dumps(gen_dict(gen_key(), gen_value()), indent = 4)
So my question is how to assign more than one key value pair in the dict and later to transform to json obj like in the example I show in the example.
You are creating a single dictionary, what you want is a list of dictionaries:
Assuming that you each call to gen_key() and gen_value() generates a single instance of the data, you can use:
# Some random key
def gen_key():
return ''.join((random.choice(string.ascii_lowercase) for x in range(5)))
# Some random value
def gen_value():
return random.choice(range(1000))
s = json.dumps({"data": [ {
"name": gen_key(), "value": gen_value()} for i in range(3)] }, indent = 4)
output:
{
"data": [
{
"name": "rrqct",
"value": 162
},
{
"name": "vbuyq",
"value": 422
},
{
"name": "kfyqt",
"value": 7
}
]
}

This question already has answers here:
Python list of dictionaries search
(24 answers)
Closed last month.
First, I am new to Python and working with JSON.
I am trying to extract just one value from an API request response, and I am having a difficult time parsing out the data I need.
I have done a lot of searching on how to do this, but most all the examples use a string or file that is formatted is much more basic than what I am getting.
I understand the key - value pair concept but I am unsure how to reference the key-value I want. I think it has something to do with the response having multiple objects having the same kay names. Or maybe the first line "Bookmark" is making things goofy.
The value I want is for the model name in the response example below.
That's all I need from this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
{
"Bookmark": "<B><P><p>SerNum</p><p>Item</p></P><D><f>false</f><f>false</f></D><F><v>1101666</v><v>ADDMASTER IJ7102-23E</v></F><L><v>123456</v><v>Model Name</v></L></B>",
"Items": [
[
{
"Name": "SerNum",
"Value": "123456"
},
{
"Name": "Item",
"Value": "Model Name"
},
{
"Name": "_ItemId",
"Value": "PBT=[unit] unt.DT=[2021-07-28 08:20:33.513] unt.ID=[eae2621d-3e9f-4515-9763-55e67f65fae6]"
}
]
],
"Message": "Success",
"MessageCode": 0
}
If you want to find value of dictionary with key 'Name' and value 'Item' you can do:
import json
with open('your_data.json', 'r') as f_in:
data = json.load(f_in)
model_name = next((i['Value'] for lst in data['Items'] for i in lst if i['Name'] == 'Item'), 'Model name not found.')
print(model_name)
Prints:
Model Name
Note: if the dictionary is not found string 'Model name not found.' is returned
First, load the JSON into a python dict:
import json
x = '''{
"Bookmark": "<B><P><p>SerNum</p><p>Item</p></P><D><f>false</f><f>false</f></D><F><v>1101666</v><v>ADDMASTER IJ7102-23E</v></F><L><v>123456</v><v>Model Name</v></L></B>",
"Items": [
[
{
"Name": "SerNum",
"Value": "123456"
},
{
"Name": "Item",
"Value": "Model Name"
},
{
"Name": "_ItemId",
"Value": "PBT=[unit] unt.DT=[2021-07-28 08:20:33.513] unt.ID=[eae2621d-3e9f-4515-9763-55e67f65fae6]"
}
]
],
"Message": "Success",
"MessageCode": 0
}'''
# parse x:
y = json.loads(x)
# The result is a Python dictionary.
Now if you want the value 'Model Name', you would do:
print(y['Items'][0][1]['Value'])
I'm trying to save the reference to a value in a json file where item orders could not be guaranteed. So far, what I have for a dataset like this one:
"Values": [
{
"Object": "DFC_Asset_05",
"Properties": [
{
"Property": "WeightKilograms",
"Value Offset": 5
},
{
"Property": "WeightPounds",
"Value Offset": 10
}
]
},
{
"Object": "DFC_Asset_05",
"Properties": [
{
"Property": "Name",
"Value Offset": 25
},
{
"Property": "ShortName",
"Value Offset": 119
}
]
}
]
and retrieving this object:
{
"Property": "ShortName",
"Value Offset": 119
}
Is a string like this:
reference = "[Object=DFC_Asset_06][Properties][Property=Name]"
Which looks nice and understandable in a string, but it's very unclean to find the referenced value as I must first parse the reference it with a regex then loop in the data to retrieve the matching item.
Am I doing this wrong? Is there a better way to do this? I looked at the reduce() function however it seems like it's made for dictionaries with static data. For example, I could not save the direct keys:
reference = "[1][Properties][1]"
reference_using_reduce = [1, "Properties", 1]
As they might not always be in that order
You can run "queries" on JSONs without referencing specific indexes using the pyjq module:
query = (
'.Values[]' # On all the items in "Values"
'|select(."Object" == "DFC_Asset_06")' # Find key "Object" which holds this value
'|."Properties"[]' # And get all the items of "Properties"
'|select(."Property" == "Name")' # Where the key "Property" holds the value "Name"
)
pyjq.first(query, d)
Result:
{'Property': 'Name', 'Value Offset': 25}
You can read more about jq in the documentations.
I hope everyone is doing well.
I need a little help where I need to get all the strings from a variable and need to store into a single list in python.
For example -
I have json file from where I am getting ids and all the ids are getting stored into a variable called id as below when I run print(id)

I want these all values to be stored into a single list.
Can some please help me out with this.
Below is the code I am using:
import json
with open('requests.json') as f:
data = json.load(f)
print(type(data))
for i in data:
if 'traceId' in i:
id = i['traceId']
newid = id.split()
#print(type(newid))
print(newid)
And below is my json file looks like:

From where I am trying to get the traceId.
you could use simple split method like the follwing:
ids = '''17298626-991c-e490-bae6-47079c6e2202 17298496-19bd-2f89-7b5f-881921abc632 17298698-3e17-7a9b-b337-aacfd9483b1b 172986ac-d91d-c4ea-2e50-d53700480dd0 172986d0-18aa-6f51-9c62-6cb087ad31e5 172986f4-80f0-5c21-3aee-12f22a5f4322 17298712-a4ac-7b36-08e9-8512fa8322dd 17298747-8cc6-d9d0-8d05-50adf228c029 1729875c-050f-9a99-4850-bb0e6ad35fb0 1729875f-0d50-dc94-5515-b4891c40d81c 17298761-c26b-3ce5-e77e-db412c38a5b4 172987c8-2b5d-0d94-c365-e8407b0a8860 1729881a-e583-2b54-3a52-d092020d9c1d 1729881c-64a2-67cf-d561-6e5e38ed14cb 172987ec-7a20-7eb6-3ebe-a9fb621bb566 17298813-7ac4-258b-d6f9-aaf43f9147b1 17298813-f1ef-d28a-0817-5f3b86c3cf23 17298828-b62b-9ee6-248b-521b0663226e 17298825-7449-2fcb-378e-13671cb4688a'''
l = ids.split(" ")
print(l)
This will give the following result, I assumed that the separator needed is simple space you can adjust properly:
['17298626-991c-e490-bae6-47079c6e2202', '17298496-19bd-2f89-7b5f-881921abc632', '17298698-3e17-7a9b-b337-aacfd9483b1b', '172986ac-d91d-c4ea-2e50-d53700480dd0', '172986d0-18aa-6f51-9c62-6cb087ad31e5', '172986f4-80f0-5c21-3aee-12f22a5f4322', '17298712-a4ac-7b36-08e9-8512fa8322dd', '17298747-8cc6-d9d0-8d05-50adf228c029', '1729875c-050f-9a99-4850-bb0e6ad35fb0', '1729875f-0d50-dc94-5515-b4891c40d81c', '17298761-c26b-3ce5-e77e-db412c38a5b4', '172987c8-2b5d-0d94-c365-e8407b0a8860', '1729881a-e583-2b54-3a52-d092020d9c1d', '1729881c-64a2-67cf-d561-6e5e38ed14cb', '172987ec-7a20-7eb6-3ebe-a9fb621bb566', '17298813-7ac4-258b-d6f9-aaf43f9147b1', '17298813-f1ef-d28a-0817-5f3b86c3cf23', '17298828-b62b-9ee6-248b-521b0663226e', '17298825-7449-2fcb-378e-13671cb4688a']
Edit
You get list of lists because each iteration you read only 1 id, so what you need to do is to initiate an empty list and append each id to it in the following way:
l = []
for i in data
if 'traceId' in i:
id = i['traceId']
l.append(id)
you can append the ids variable to the list such as,
#list declaration
l1=[]
#this must be in your loop
l1.append(ids)
I'm assuming you get the id as a str type value. Using id.split() will return a list of all ids in one single Python list, as each id is separated by space here in your example.
id = """17298626-991c-e490-bae6-47079c6e2202 17298496-19bd-2f89-7b5f-881921abc632

I have the next JSON that I get from a URL:

}]
My code:
import json
import urllib2
data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen('http://someurl/path/to/json'))
print data
I want to know how to access to the part "abstract" of the object that has "id" equal to 2 for example. The part "id" is unique so I can use id to index my searchs.
Thanks!
Here's one way to do it. You can create a generator via a generator expression, call next to iterate that generator once, and get back the desired object.
item = next((item for item in data if item['id'] == 2), None)
if item:
print item['abstract']
See also Python: get a dict from a list based on something inside the dict
EDIT : If you'd like access to all elements of the list that have a given key value (for example, id == 2) you can do one of two things. You can either create a list via comprehension (as shown in the other answer), or you can alter my solution:
my_gen = (item for item in data if item['id'] == 2)
for item in my_gen:
print item
In the loop, item will iterate over those items in your list which satisfy the given condition (here, id == 2).
You can use list comprehention to filter:
import json
j = """[{"id":1,"version":23,"external_id":"2312","url":"https://example.com/432","type":"typeA","date":"2","notes":"notes","title":"title","abstract":"dsadasdas","details":"something","accuracy":0,"reliability":0,"severity":12,"thing":"32132","other":["aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa","bbbbbbbbbbbbbb","cccccccccccccccc","dddddddddddddd","eeeeeeeeee"],"nana":8},{"id":2,"version":23,"external_id":"2312","url":"https://example.com/432","type":"typeA","date":"2","notes":"notes","title":"title","abstract":"dsadasdas","details":"something","accuracy":0,"reliability":0,"severity":12,"thing":"32132","other":["aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa","bbbbbbbbbbbbbb","cccccccccccccccc","dddddddddddddd","eeeeeeeeee"],"nana":8}]"""
dicto = json.loads(j)
results = [x for x in dicto if "id" in x and x["id"]==2]
And then you can print the 'abstract' values like so:
for result in results:
if "abstract" in result:
print result["abstract"]
import urllib2
import json
data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen('http://someurl/path/to/json'))
your_id = raw_input('enter the id')
for each in data:
if each['id'] == your_id:
print each['abstract']
In the above code data is list and each is a dict you can easily access the dict object.
I'm reading in a JSON string which is littered with u'string' style strings. Example:
[
{
"!\/award\/award_honor\/honored_for": {
"award": {
"id": "\/en\/spiel_des_jahres"
},
"year": {
"value": "1996"
}
},
"guid": "#9202a8c04000641f80000000003a0ee6",
"type": "\/games\/game",
"id": "\/en\/el_grande",
"name": "El Grande"
},
{
"!\/award\/award_honor\/honored_for": {
"award": {
"id": "\/en\/spiel_des_jahres"
},
"year": {
"value": "1995"
}
},
"guid": "#9202a8c04000641f80000000000495ec",
"type": "\/games\/game",
"id": "\/en\/settlers_of_catan",
"name": "Settlers of Catan"
}
]
If I assign name = result.name. Then when I log of pass that value to a Django template, it displays as u'Dominion'
How do I format it to display as Dominion?
++ UPDATE ++
I think the problem has to do with printing values from a list or dictionary. For example:
result = freebase.mqlread(query)
games = {}
count = 0
r = result[0]
name = r.name
games["name"] = name,
self.response.out.write(games["name"])
self.response.out.write(name)
This displays as:
(u'Dominion',) // saved response to dictionary, and then printed
Dominion // when calling the value directly from the response
I need to iterate through an array of JSON items and the values are being shown with the unicode. Why?
The comma at the end of games["name"] = name, makes it a 1-tuple. Remove it.
>>> # example
>>> s = u"Jägermütze"
>>> s.encode("utf-8")
'J\xc3\xa4germ\xc3\xbctze'
>>> print s.encode("utf-8") # on a utf-8 terminal
Jägermütze
Don't know much about Django, but not accepting snicode strings seems unpythonic to me.
You can use str(your string) to do this.
