How to retrieve data from a json - json

Question

I retrieved a dataset from a news API in JSON format. I want to extract the news description from the JSON data.
This is my code:-
import requests
import json
url = ('http://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?'
'country=us&'
'apiKey=608bf565c67f4d99994c08d74db82f54')
response = requests.get(url)
di=response.json()
di = json.dumps(di)
for di['articles'] in di:
print(article['title'])
The dataset looks like this:-
{'status': 'ok',
'totalResults': 38,
'articles': [
{'source':
{'id': 'the-washington-post',
'name': 'The Washington Post'},
'author': 'Derek Hawkins, Marisa Iati',
'title': 'Coronavirus updates: Texas, Florida and Arizona officials say early reopenings fueled an explosion of cases - The Washington Post',
'description': 'Local officials in states with surging coronavirus cases issued dire warnings Sunday about the spread of infections, saying the virus was rapidly outpacing containment efforts.',
'url': 'https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/05/coronavirus-update-us/',
'urlToImage': 'https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/K3UMAKF6OMI6VF6BNTYRN77CNQ.jpg&w=1440',
'publishedAt': '2020-07-05T18:32:44Z',
'content': 'Here are some significant developments:\r\n<ul><li>The rolling seven-day average for daily new cases in the United States reached a record high for the 27th day in a row, climbing to 48,606 on Sunday, … [+5333 chars]'}])
Please guide me with this!

Answer 1

There are few corrections needed in your code.. below code should work and i have removed API KEY in answer make sure that you add one before testing
import requests
import json
url = ('http://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?'
'country=us&'
'apiKey=<API KEY>')
di=response.json()
#You don't need to dump json that is already in json format
#di = json.dumps(di)
#your loop is not correctly defined, below is correct way to do it
for article in di['articles']:
print(article['title'])

Answer 2

response.json
{'status': 'ok',
'totalResults': 38,
'articles': [
{'source':
{'id': 'the-washington-post',
'name': 'The Washington Post'},
'author': 'Derek Hawkins, Marisa Iati',
'title': 'Coronavirus updates: Texas, Florida and Arizona officials say early reopenings fueled an explosion of cases - The Washington Post',
'description': 'Local officials in states with surging coronavirus cases issued dire warnings Sunday about the spread of infections, saying the virus was rapidly outpacing containment efforts.',
'url': 'https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/05/coronavirus-update-us/',
'urlToImage': 'https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/K3UMAKF6OMI6VF6BNTYRN77CNQ.jpg&w=1440',
'publishedAt': '2020-07-05T18:32:44Z',
'content': 'Here are some significant developments:\r\n<ul><li>The rolling seven-day average for daily new cases in the United States reached a record high for the 27th day in a row, climbing to 48,606 on Sunday, … [+5333 chars]'}]}
Code:
di = response.json() # Understand that 'di' is of type 'dictionary', key-value pair
for i in di["articles"]:
print(i["description"])
"articles" is one of the keys of dictionary di, It's corresponding value is of type list. "description" , which you are looking is part of this list (value of "articles"). Further list contains the dictionary (key-value pair).You can access from key - description
