I have a json that looks like this:
[
{
"status":"passed",
"elements":[{"name":"foo"},{"name":"bar"}]
},
{
"status":"failed",
"elements":[{"name":"foo1"},{"name":"bar1"}]
}
]
I am trying to iterate through the elements array:
for a in json['elements']:
print a['name']
I get this error:
TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str
My python is really bad. Thank you
Try this:
for a in json:
for b in a['elements']:
print b['name']
With your code, you are trying to get the value of the key 'elements' from the dictionary json. But json isn't a dict, but an array of dicts. Thus, what you should do instead is:
for dic_x in json:
for dic_y in dic_x['elements']:
print dic_y['name']
You need to loop through your list and then proceed with your data like what you do with dicts like this example:
my_json = [
{
"status":"passed",
"elements":[{"name":"foo"},{"name":"bar"}]
},
{
"status":"failed",
"elements":[{"name":"foo1"},{"name":"bar1"}]
}
]
for element in my_json:
for v in element["elements"]:
print(v["name"])
Output:
foo
bar
foo1
bar1
json['elements']gives you a list of two items:{"name":"foo1"}, and {"name":"bar1"}, so you need to index into it with an integer, not a string.
