Python Accessing Nested JSON Data [duplicate]
Solution 1:
Places is a list and not a dictionary. This line below should therefore not work:
print data['places']['latitude']
You need to select one of the items in places and then you can list the place's properties. So to get the first post code you'd do:
print data['places'][0]['post code']
Solution 2:
I did not realize that the first nested element is actually an array. The correct way access to the post code key is as follows:
r = requests.get('http://api.zippopotam.us/us/ma/belmont')
j = r.json()
print j['state']
print j['places'][1]['post code']
