JSON list items to dataframe - json

Question

I am using an API that has changed its spec and now my JSON feed is slightly different.
BEFORE:
{"code":2000,"message":"SUCCESS","data":
{"1":
{"id":1,
"name":"Amanda",
"score":"57.36%",
"average":"53.47%"
}
}
}
Then, I used something to this effect:
import json
import pandas as pd
jsonfile = 'file.json'
with open(jsonfile) as j:
data = json.load(j)
rows = [v for k, v in data["data"].items()]
df = pd.DataFrame(rows, columns=['id', 'name', 'score', 'average'])
Source AFTER:
{"status":"success","code":0,"data":
{"data":
[
{
"id":1,
"name":"Robert",
"score":"48.85%",
"average":"40.52%"
}
]
}
}
So I'm attempting to adjust using some of the resources:
Convert JSON list to pandas dataframe
JSON to pandas DataFrame
how to convert json data with list of list to dataframe using python pandas
What I've tried so far:
import json
import pandas as pd
from pandas import json_normalize
jsonfile = 'file.json'
with open(jsonfile) as j:
data = json.load(j)
df = json_normalize(data, ['data'])
I've also tried:
df = pd.DataFrame.from_records(data)
I get the following:
TypeError: {....} for path data. Must be list or null.
What am I missing here?
