Parsing specific data from body of json response-CodePudding

This is my code to request data from API

@app.route('/quote/{symbol}')
def quote(symbol):
    response = c.get_quote(symbol)


    return response.json()

This is my json response:

{"SPY":{"assetType":"ETF","assetMainType":"EQUITY","cusip":"78462F103","assetSubType":"ETF","symbol":"SPY","description":"SPDR S&P 500","bidPrice":390.2,"bidSize":300,"bidId":"P","askPrice":390.21,"askSize":100,"askId":"P","lastPrice":389.02,"lastSize":2528800,"lastId":"P","openPrice":379.87,"highPrice":389.52,"lowPrice":379.68,"bidTick":" ","closePrice":389.02,"netChange":0.0,"totalVolume":100301958,"quoteTimeInLong":1667001600168,"tradeTimeInLong":1667001600004,"mark":389.02,"exchange":"p","exchangeName":"PACIFIC","marginable":true,"shortable":true,"volatility":0.0109,"digits":2,"52WkHigh":479.98,"52WkLow":348.11,"nAV":0.0,"peRatio":0.0,"divAmount":6.1757,"divYield":1.59,"divDate":"2022-09-16 00:00:00.000","securityStatus":"Normal","regularMarketLastPrice":389.02,"regularMarketLastSize":30,"regularMarketNetChange":0.0,"regularMarketTradeTimeInLong":1667001600004,"netPercentChangeInDouble":0.0,"markChangeInDouble":0.0,"markPercentChangeInDouble":0.0,"regularMarketPercentChangeInDouble":0.0,"delayed":false,"realtimeEntitled":true}}

How do I get the response to only be a specific part of the body like "lastPrice"?

I'm a mewbie so I have searched for a solution but cant find anything that works yet.

CodePudding user response：

You do need to parse all of the JSON you get back, but you can access individual object properties once you've done that.

Assuming your data is in a variable named data...

console.log(data.SPY.lastPrice);

CodePudding user response：

Hello how are you? Basically you will take a variable that received a response.json() and put res["SPY"]["lastPrice"] or res.SPY.lastPrice it will give you the value 389.02
