I am a API response JSON like this.

{
"currentdatetime": "11",
"syncinterval_seconds": 4,
"public_keys": [
    {
        "system": "aa",
        "pubkey": "aa"
    }
],
"users": [
    {
        "username": "user",
        "user_id": "user",
        "realname": "user_10",
        "emailaddress": "[email protected]",
        "accountenabled": false,
        "mustchangepassword": false,
        "passwordhash": "$E6gi",
        "accesslevel": [
            "WORKER"
        ],
        "expiration": "2022-11-02T16:21:52",
        "site_specific": false,
        "symkey": "aaaa",
        "privatekey": "aaa"
    },
]
}

and I created dictionary like this

user_access= {
"user": "WORKER",
"user2": "ADMIN",
"user3": "WORKER",
"user4": "GENERAL"
}

this user_access has usernames with access level.

I am trying to verify in my API response json whether the defined user has defined access level.

I wrote function like this

 def LoadUserList(apijson)
     for user_result in apijson[USERS]:
          username = user_result[USER_NAME]
          accesslevel = user_result[accesslevel]
          if (user_result[USER_NAME] == 'user' AND user_result[accesslevel] == 'WORKER')
            print "success"
          else
            print "not matching"

But the above code not working as expected.I dont know how to check with defined user_access json. any other way to achieve the result.Any help will be much appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

Dictionaries in python have 2 ways of accessing values by some key.

1. via hard bracket indexers - apijson["users"]
2. via .get - apijson.get("users")

Note that both are case-sensitive and both are using quotes to pass the values as strings rather than variable names. USERS = "users"; apijson[USERS] would be fine as well but USERS would need to first be defined.

Additionally -

1. We love colons in python so def LoadUserList(apijson): and if <>:/else:
2. The keywords or/and are case-sensitive so your example AND -> and
3. Your example json structure has users[0].accesslevel as an array so your (corrected) user_result["accesslevel"] == 'WORKER' won't evaluate to True since user_result["accesslevel"] = ["WORKER"]

So with some corrections,

def LoadUserList(apijson):
    for user_result in apijson["users"]:
        username = user_result["username"]
        accesslevel = user_result["accesslevel"]
        user_accesslevel = user_access.get(username)  # "WORKER"
        if (username == 'user' and user_accesslevel in accesslevel):
            print("success")
        else:
            print("not matching")

CodePudding user response：

Assuming apijson is a dict, e.g., generated by applying json.loads() on API result:

def LoadUserList(apijson)
    for user in apijson['users']:
        username, accesslevel = user['username'], user['accesslevel']
        if user_access.get(username) in accesslevel:
            print(username, "success")
        else
            print(username, "not matching")
