How to get the value from particular key using python?

resp = {
"Name": "test",
"os": "windows",
"Agent": {
"id": "2",
"status": [
{
"code": "123",
"level": "Info",
"displayStatus": "Ready",
"message": "running",
"time": "2022-01-18T09:51:08+00:00"
}
]
}
I am trying to get the time value from the JSON.
I tried the below code but faced error with dict
resp1 = json.loads(resp)
resp2 = resp1.values()
creation_time = resp2.get("Agent").get("status")
val= creation_time["time"]
print(val) ## Thrwoing error as dict_values has no 'get'
Any suggestion on python how to take this time values

Few problems I noticed
You are trying to load a Dict type using the json's loads function which is supposed to get a string in json format (ex: '{ "name":"John", "age":30, "city":"New York"}')
You tried to access resp2 before declaration (I guessed you meant "resp1?")
You're using resp3 without declaration.
You are missing }
You don't need the .value() function because it will return a list.
Also creation time is a list with one object, so you need to access it too.
Considering all this, you can change it as follows:
import json
resp = '{ "Name": "test", "os": "windows","Agent": {"id": "2","status": [{"code": "123","level": "Info","displayStatus": "Ready","message": "running","time": "2022-01-18T09:51:08+00:00"}]}}'
resp1 = json.loads(resp)
creation_time = resp1.get("Agent").get("status")
val= creation_time[0]["time"]
print(val)

You just need to access the dicts using [] like so:
resp = {"Name": "test", "os": "windows", "Agent": {"id": "2","status": [{"code": "123","level": "Info","displayStatus": "Ready","message": "running","time": "2022-01-18T09:51:08+00:00"}]}}
creation_time = resp["Agent"]["status"]
val= creation_time[0]["time"]
print(val)
Output:
2022-01-18T09:51:08+00:00

How to parse nested JSON object?

I am working on a new project in HubSpot that returns nested JSON like the sample below. I am trying to access the associated contacts id, but am struggling to reference it correctly (the id I am looking for is the value '201' in the example below). I've put together this script, but this script only returns the entire associations portion of the JSON and I only want the id. How do I reference the id correctly?
Here is the output from the script:
{'contacts': {'paging': None, 'results': [{'id': '201', 'type': 'ticket_to_contact'}]}}
And here is the script I put together:
import hubspot
from pprint import pprint
client = hubspot.Client.create(api_key="API_KEY")
try:
api_response = client.crm.tickets.basic_api.get_page(limit=2, associations=["contacts"], archived=False)
for x in range(2):
pprint(api_response.results[x].associations)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling basic_api->get_page: %s\n" % e)
Here is what the full JSON looks like ('contacts' property shortened for readability):
{
"results": [
{
"id": "34018123",
"properties": {
"content": "Hi xxxxx,\r\n\r\nCan you clarify on how the blocking of script happens? Is it because of any CSP (or) the script will decide run time for every URL’s getting triggered from browser?\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\nLogan",
"createdate": "2019-07-03T04:20:12.366Z",
"hs_lastmodifieddate": "2020-12-09T01:16:12.974Z",
"hs_object_id": "34018123",
"hs_pipeline": "0",
"hs_pipeline_stage": "4",
"hs_ticket_category": null,
"hs_ticket_priority": null,
"subject": "RE: call followup"
},
"createdAt": "2019-07-03T04:20:12.366Z",
"updatedAt": "2020-12-09T01:16:12.974Z",
"archived": false
},
{
"id": "34018892",
"properties": {
"content": "Hi Guys,\r\n\r\nI see that we were placed back on the staging and then removed again.",
"createdate": "2019-07-03T07:59:10.606Z",
"hs_lastmodifieddate": "2021-12-17T09:04:46.316Z",
"hs_object_id": "34018892",
"hs_pipeline": "0",
"hs_pipeline_stage": "3",
"hs_ticket_category": null,
"hs_ticket_priority": null,
"subject": "Re: Issue due to server"
},
"createdAt": "2019-07-03T07:59:10.606Z",
"updatedAt": "2021-12-17T09:04:46.316Z",
"archived": false,
"associations": {
"contacts": {
"results": [
{
"id": "201",
"type": "ticket_to_contact"
}
]
}
}
}
],
"paging": {
"next": {
"after": "35406270",
"link": "https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/tickets?associations=contacts&archived=false&hs_static_app=developer-docs-ui&limit=2&after=35406270&hs_static_app_version=1.3488"
}
}
}

You can do api_response.results[x].associations["contacts"]["results"][0]["id"].

Sorted this out, posting in case anyone else is struggling with the response from the HubSpot v3 Api. The response schema for this call is:
Response schema type: Object
String results[].id
Object results[].properties
String results[].createdAt
String results[].updatedAt
Boolean results[].archived
String results[].archivedAt
Object results[].associations
Object paging
Object paging.next
String paging.next.after
String paging.next.linkResponse schema type: Object
String results[].id
Object results[].properties
String results[].createdAt
String results[].updatedAt
Boolean results[].archived
String results[].archivedAt
Object results[].associations
Object paging
Object paging.next
String paging.next.after
String paging.next.link
So to access the id of the contact associated with the ticket, you need to reference it using this notation:
api_response.results[1].associations["contacts"].results[0].id
notes:
results[x] - reference the result in the index
associations["contacts"] -
associations is a dictionary object, you can access the contacts item
by it's name
associations["contacts"].results is a list - reference
by the index []
id - is a string

In my case type was ModelProperty or CollectionResponseProperty couldn't reach dict anyhow.
For the record this got me to go through the results.
for result in list(api_response.results):
ID = result.id

Reading key values a JSON array which is a set in Python

I have the following code
import requests
import json
import sys
credentials_User=sys.argv[1]
credentials_Password=sys.argv[2]
email=sys.argv[3]
def auth_api(login_User,login_Password,):
gooddata_user=login_User
gooddata_password=login_Password
body = json.dumps({
"postUserLogin":{
"login": gooddata_user,
"password": gooddata_password,
"remember":1,
"verify_level":0
}
})
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json'
}
url="https://reports.domain.com/gdc/account/login"
response = requests.request(
"POST",
url,
headers=headers,
data=body
)
sst=response.headers.get('Set-Cookie')
return sst
def query_api(cookie,email):
url="https://reports.domain.com/gdc/account/domains/domain/users?login="+email
body={}
headers={
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Cookie': cookie
}
response = requests.request(
"GET",
url,
headers=headers,
data=body
)
jsonContent=[]
jsonContent.append({response.text})
accountSettings=jsonContent[0]
print(accountSettings)
cookie=auth_api(credentials_User,credentials_Password)
profilehash=query_api(cookie,email)
The code itself works and sends a request to the Gooddata API.
The query_api() function returns JSON similar to below
{
"accountSettings": {
"items": [
{
"accountSetting": {
"login": "user#example.com",
"email": "user#example.com",
"firstName": "First Name",
"lastName": "Last Name",
"companyName": "Company Name",
"position": "Data Analyst",
"created": "2020-01-08 15:44:23",
"updated": "2020-01-08 15:44:23",
"timezone": null,
"country": "United States",
"phoneNumber": "(425) 555-1111",
"old_password": "secret$123",
"password": "secret$234",
"verifyPassword": "secret$234",
"authenticationModes": [
"SSO"
],
"ssoProvider": "sso-domain.com",
"language": "en-US",
"ipWhitelist": [
"127.0.0.1"
],
"links": {
"projects": "/gdc/account/profile/{profile_id}/projects",
"self": "/gdc/account/profile/{profile_id}",
"domain": "/gdc/domains/default",
"auditEvents": "/gdc/account/profile/{profile_id}/auditEvents"
},
"effectiveIpWhitelist": "[ 127.0.0.1 ]"
}
}
],
"paging": {
"offset": 20,
"count": 100,
"next": "/gdc/uri?offset=100"
}
}
}
The issue I am having is reading specific keys from this JSON Dict, I can use accountSettings=jsonContent[0] but that just returns the same JSON.
What I want to do is read the value of the project key within links
How would I do this with a dict?
Thanks

Based on your description, uyou have your value inside a list, (not a set. Foergt about set: sets are not used with JSON). Inside your list, you either your content as a single string, which then you'd have to parse with json.loads, or it is simply a well behaved nested data structure already extracted from JSON, but which is inside a single element list. This seems the most likely.
So, you should be able to do:
accountlink = jsonContent[0]["items"][0]["accountSetting"]["login"]
otherwise, if it is encoded as a a json string, you have to parse it first:
import json
accountlink = json.loads(jsonContent[0])["items"][0]["accountSetting"]["login"]
Now, given your question, I'd say your are on a begginer level as a programmer, or a casual user, just using Python to automatize something either way, I'd recommend you do try some exercising before proceeding: it will save you time (a lot of time). I am not trying to bully or mock anything here: this is the best advice I can offer you. Seek for tutorials that play around on the interactive mode, rather than trying entire programs at once that you'd just copy and paste.

Using the below code fixed the issue
jsonContent=json.loads(response.text)
print(type(jsonContent))
test=jsonContent["accountSettings"]["items"][0]
test2=test["accountSetting"]["links"]["self"]
print(test)
print(test2)
I believe this works because for some reason I didn't notice I was using .append for my jsonContent. This resulted in the data type being something other than it should have been.
Thanks to everyone who tried helping me.

TypeError: string indices must be integers // working with JSON as dict in python

Okay, so I've been banging my head on this for the last 2 days, with no real progress. I am a beginner with python and coding in general, but this is the first issue I haven't been able to solve myself.
So I have this long file with JSON formatting with about 7000 entries from the youtubeapi.
right now I want to have a short script to print certain info ('videoId') for a certain dictionary key (refered to as 'key'):
My script:
import json
f = open ('path file.txt', 'r')
s = f.read()
trailers = json.loads(s)
print(trailers['key']['Items']['id']['videoId'])
# print(trailers['key']['videoId'] gives same response
Error:
print(trailers['key']['Items']['id']['videoId'])
TypeError: string indices must be integers
It does work when I want to print all the information for the dictionary key:
This script works
import json
f = open ('path file.txt', 'r')
s = f.read()
trailers = json.loads(s)
print(trailers['key'])
Also print(type(trailers)) results in class 'dict', as it's supposed to.
My JSON File is formatted like this and is from the youtube API, youtube#searchListResponse.
{
"kind": "youtube#searchListResponse",
"etag": "",
"nextPageToken": "",
"regionCode": "",
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": 1000000,
"resultsPerPage": 1
},
"items": [
{
"kind": "youtube#searchResult",
"etag": "",
"id": {
"kind": "youtube#video",
"videoId": ""
},
"snippet": {
"publishedAt": "",
"channelId": "",
"title": "",
"description": "",
"thumbnails": {
"default": {
"url": "",
"width": 120,
"height": 90
},
"medium": {
"url": "",
"width": 320,
"height": 180
},
"high": {
"url": "",
"width": 480,
"height": 360
}
},
"channelTitle": "",
"liveBroadcastContent": "none"
}
}
]
}
What other information is needed to be given for you to understand the problem?

The following code gives me all the videoId's from the provided sample data (which is no id's at all in fact):
import json
with open('sampledata', 'r') as datafile:
data = json.loads(datafile.read())
print([item['id']['videoId'] for item in data['items']])
Perhaps you can try this with more data.
Hope this helps.

I didn't really look into the youtube api but looking at the code and the sample you gave it seems you missed out a [0]. Looking at the structure of json there's a list in key items.
import json
f = open ('json1.json', 'r')
s = f.read()
trailers = json.loads(s)
print(trailers['items'][0]['id']['videoId'])

I've not used json before at all. But it's basically imported in the form of dicts with more dicts, lists etc. Where applicable. At least from my understanding.
So when you do type(trailers) you get type dict. Then you do dict with trailers['key']. If you do type of that, it should also be a dict, if things work correctly. Working through the items in each dict should in the end find your error.
Pythons error says you are trying find the index/indices of a string, which only accepts integers, while you are trying to use a dict. So you need to find out why you are getting a string and not dict when using each argument.
Edit to add an example. If your dict contains a string on key 'item', then you get a string in return, not a new dict which you further can get a dict from. item in the json for example, seem to be a list, with dicts in it. Not a dict itself.

Json organization

I use JSON for one of my project. For example, I have the JSON structure.
{
"address":{
"streetAddress": {
"aptnumber" : "21",
"building_number" : "2nd",
"street" : "Wall Street",
},
"city":"New York"
},
"phoneNumber":
[
{
"type":"home",
"number":"212 555-1234"
}
]
}
Now I have a bunch of modules using this structure, and it expects to see certain fields in the received json. For the example above, I have two files: address_manager and phone_number_manager. Each will be passed the relevant information. So address_manager will expect a dict that has keys 'streetAddress' and 'city'.
My question is: Is it possible to set up a constant structure so that every time I change the name of a field in my JSON structure (e.g. I want to change 'streetAddress' to 'address'), I don't have to make change in several places?
My naive approach is to have a bunch of constants (e.g.
ADDRESS = "address"
ADDRESS_STREET_ADDRESS = "streetAddress"
..etc..
) and so if I want to change the name of one of my fields in JSON structure, I just have to make change in one place. However, this seems to be very inefficient because my constant naming would be terribly long once I reach the third or fourth layer of the JSON structure (e.g. ADDRESS_STREETADDRESS_APTNUMBER, ADDRESS_STREETADDRESS_BUILDINGNUMBER)
I am doing this in python, but any generic answer would be OK.
Thanks.

Like Cameron Sparr suggested in a comment, don't have your constant names include all levels of your JSON structure. If you have the same data in multiple places, it will actually be better if you reuse the same constant. For example, suppose your JSON has a phone number included in the address:
{
"address": {
"streetAddress": {
"aptnumber" : "21",
"building_number" : "2nd",
"street" : "Wall Street"
},
"city":"New York",
"phoneNumber":
[
{
"type":"home",
"number":"212 555-1234"
}
]
},
"phoneNumber":
[
{
"type":"home",
"number":"212 555-1234"
}
]
}
Why not have a single constant PHONES = 'phoneNumber' that you use in both places? Your constants will have shorter names, and it is more logically coherent. You would end up using it like this (assuming JSON is stored in person):
person[ADDRESS][PHONES][x] # Phone numbers associated with that address
person[PHONES][x] # Phone numbers associated with the person
Instead of
person[ADDRESS][ADDRESS_PHONES][x]
person[PHONE_NUMBERS][x]

You can write a script than when you change the constant, change the structure in all json files.
Example:
import json
CHANGE = ('steet', 'streetAddress')
json_data = None
with open('file.json') as jfile:
json_data = jfile.load(jfile)
json_data[CHANGE[1]], json_data[CHANGE[0]] = json_data[CHANGE[0]], None
