Error when I try to extract info in a json-CodePudding

I have this code:

api_key = "_________"

ciudad = input("put the city: ")

url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q="  ciudad  "&appid="   api_key
print(url)     

data = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read().decode()

js = json.loads(data)

And it is all okey

but I need the temp max and min and I try this:

for res in js["list"][0]["main"]:
    print("the value of", res["main.temp_min"])

and the code give me this error

TypeError: string indices must be integers

The json it is like:

CodePudding user response：

js["list"][0]["main"] is a dictionary:

{'temp': 288.99, 'feels_like': 288.35, 'temp_min': 286.43, 'temp_max': 288.99, 'pressure': 1012, 'sea_level': 1012, 'grnd_level': 1007, 'humidity': 66, 'temp_kf': 2.56}

for res in js["list"][0]["main"] iterates over its keys. So res is one of the keys in this dictionary which are strings (hence the error). What you probably want is:

for l in js["list"]:
    print("the value of", l["main"]["temp_min"])
