How to print multiple specific JSON values with Python? - json

Question

I am attempting to print values from an API via JSON response. I was successful when I tried to print the first and foremost "live" value of the response, but I started running into problems when I tried printing anything other than the "live" value. Below is a sample of what I usually receive from the API, and my goal here is to print out only every visible "name" values.
{
"live":[
{
"id":203003098,

My code:
url = "https://api.holotools.app/v1/live"
response = urlopen(url)
data_json = json.loads(response.read())
print(data_json['live'])

Answer 1

I think you're new to programming language so following is the special note for the new programmer.
You did well in printing the data but this is not end because your
goal is to get the name so you need to traverse in the response
one by one let me show you
url = "https://api.holotools.app/v1/live"
response = urlopen(url)
data_json = json.loads(response.read())
dicts = data_json['live']
#Why I'm using loop here? Because we need to get every element of list(data_json['live'] is a list)
for dict in dicts:
print(dict["channel"]["name"]
***Now here after getting single element from list as a dict I select its key which is "channel"***
Following are some useful links through which you can learn how to traverse in json

There are also stackoverflow answer which are about: How to get data from json? but it need some programming skills too following is the link of answers.
