How to parse JSON data from Digital Ocean API - json

Question

Hello there i am trying to build a App Out of Digital Ocean API so basically i am sending a request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets using the requests library(Python) and here's my code
import requests
host = "https://api.digitalocean.com"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer MYTOKEN"
}
dataa = {}
api = requests.post(f"{host}/v2/droplets", headers= headers, data=json.dumps(dataa))
And then try to access the info returned by API by data = api.json()
and if i try to print the id by running print(data['droplet']['id']) i running onto this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/gogamic/code/gogamic-website/functions.py", line 276, in <module>

This is the returned JSON From the API

That API method is a GET not a POST:
https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/#list-all-droplets
Your code works for me replacing:
api = requests.post(f"{host}/v2/droplets",
headers= headers,
data=json.dumps(dataa))
With:
api = requests.get(f"{host}/v2/droplets",
headers= headers,
data=json.dumps(dataa))
And per #fixatd adding:
print(api)
Yields:
<Response [200]>
NOTE I have no droplets to list.
For completeness, create a droplet and re-run:
doctl compute droplet create stackoverflow-65092533 \
--region sfo3 \
--size s-1vcpu-2gb \
--ssh-keys ${KEY} \
--tag-names stackoverflow \
--image ubuntu-20-10-x64
Then:
Using:
content = resp.json()
if resp.status_code != 200:
print("Unexpected status code: {}".format(resp.status_code))
quit()
for droplet in content["droplets"]:
print("ID: {}\tName: {}".format(droplet["id"], droplet["name"]))
Yields:
ID: 219375538 Name: stackoverflow-65092533
