How to Extract Particular Data From JSON Python-CodePudding

I have this json:

how to parse all the names, inside book, i can get one by:

import requests
url = "https://www.storytel.com/api/search.action?q=white feather"
r = requests.get(url)
cont = r.json()
# print(cont)
print(cont['books'][0]['book']['name'])

but how can i get all the "name"? i have tried this but did not work:

data = cont['books']

for book in data:
    print(cont['book']['name'])

error is:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "testing.py", line 12, in module> print(cont['book']['name']) KeyError: 'book'

CodePudding user response：

You aren't using the variable (as opposed to the string) book in your loop.

CodePudding user response：

You are referring to the incorrect variable inside the loop, instead of cont you should refer book instance.

import requests
import json

url = "https://www.storytel.com/api/search.action?q=white feather"
r = requests.get(url)
cont = r.json()
data = cont['books']
for book in data:
    print(book['book']['name']) # here instead of pointing to Book instance, you are pointing to cont dictionary which is creating the issue

Output :

The White Feather
The White Feather
Little White Feather
The White Feather Murders
The White Feather Killer
The White Feather Hex
