I have a php script that outputs a json array that looks like this...
[{"year":"2016","Month":"Apr","the_days":"16, 29, 30"},
{"year":"2016","Month":"May","the_days":"13, 27"},
{"year":"2016","Month":"Jun","the_days":"10, 11, 24"},
{"year":"2016","Month":"Jul","the_days":"08, 22, 23"},
{"year":"2016","Month":"Aug","the_days":"06, 20"},
{"year":"2016","Month":"Sep","the_days":"02, 03, 16, 17, 30"},
{"year":"2016","Month":"Oct","the_days":"01, 14, 15, 29"},
{"year":"2016","Month":"Nov","the_days":"25"},
{"year":"2016","Month":"Dec","the_days":"09, 10, 23, 24"}]
I'm trying to put together some Python that will (eventually) output something like....
Apr: 16, 29, 30
May: 13, 27
//etc
...but I'm not having any luck pulling the array out.
This is code that I'm using in Python3 (that I've pulled together from other Stack questions that I've searched for).
import urllib.request
import json
response = urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.captainobviousobviously.co.uk/private/Apijson.php')
content = response.read()
data = json.load(content.decode('utf-8'))
print(data)
This is the error that I'm getting...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/Python/availableDates.py", line 6, in <module>
data = json.load(content.decode('utf-8'))
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/json/__init__.py", line 265, in load
return loads(fp.read(),
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read'
I'm not really sure how to fix it.
Replace
data = json.load(content.decode('utf-8'))
with
data = json.loads(content.decode('utf-8'))
'load' is for files and 'loads' for strings.
Refer What is the difference between json.dumps and json.load?.
As for the code for your problem
for i in data:
print (str(i['Month'])+":"+str(i['the_days']))
Use json.loads instead. load is for loading from a stream, such as a file, whereas loads loads from a string.
data = json.loads(content.decode('utf-8'))
From the Python documentation:
json.load
Deserialize fp (a .read()-supporting file-like object containing a JSON document) to a Python object using this conversion table.
A string isn't a "file-like object", which is why you get your error - the JSON is trying to call .read on the string, but that doesn't exist.
You need to use json.loads(<json str>). If you want you can do the following
content = response.read().decode()
data = json.loads(content)
for d in data:
print(d["Month"], d["the_days"], sep=":")

I am new to Python (and JSON) so apologies of this is obvious to you.
I pull some data from an API using the following code
import requests
import json
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'accept-encoding':'identity'}
api_url = api_url_base+api_token+api_request #variables removed for security
response = requests.get(api_url, headers=headers)
data=response.json()
keys=data.keys
if response.status_code == 200:
print(data["message"], "saving to file...")
print("Found the following keys:")
print(keys)
with open('vulns.json', 'w') as outfile:
json.dump(response.content.decode('utf-8'),outfile)
print("File Saved.")
else:
print('The site returned a', response.status_code, 'error')
this works, I get some data returned and I am able to write the file.
I am trying to change what's returned form a short format to a long format and to check its working I need to see the keys, I was trying to do this offline using the written file (as practice for reading JSON from files).
I wrote these few lines (taken from this site https://www.kite.com/python/answers/how-to-print-the-keys-of-a-dictionary-in-python)
import json
with open('vulns.json') as json_file:
data=json.load(json_file)
print(data)
keys=list(data.keys())
print(keys)
Unfortunately, whenever I run this it returns this error

The Print(data) command returns what looks like JSON, this is the opening line:
{"count": 1000, "message": "Vulnerabilities found: 1000", "data":
[{"...
I cant show the content it's sensitive.
why is this looking at a str object rather than a dictionary?
how do I read JSON back into a dictionary please?
You just have that content stored in file as a string. Just open the vulns.json in some editor and there most likely is something like "{'count': 1000, ... instead of {"count": 1000, ....
It's opened by json.load, but translated to string (see this table).
So you should take one step back and take a look what happens during saving to file. You take some content from your response, but dump the string decoded value into a file. Take instead a try with
json.dump(response.json(), outfile)
(or just use data variable you already have provided).
This should allow you to succesfully dump and load data as a dict.
I'm using a NAO robot with naoqi version 2.1 and Choregraphe on Windows. I want to parse json from an attached file to the behavior. I attached the file like in that link.
Code:
def onLoad(self):
self.filepath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(ALFrameManager.getBehaviorPath(self.behaviorId)), "fileName.json")
def onInput_onStart(self):
with open(self.filepath, "r") as f:
self.data = self.json.load(f.get_Response())
self.dataFromFile = self.data['value']
self.log("Data from file: " + str(self.dataFromFile))
But when I run this code on the robot (connected with a router) I'll get an error:
[ERROR] behavior.box :_safeCallOfUserMethod:281 _Behavior__lastUploadedChoregrapheBehaviorbehavior_1136151280__root__AbfrageKontostand_3__AuslesenJSONDatei_1: Traceback (most recent call last):

I already tried to understand the code from the correspondending lines but I couldn't fixed the error. But I know that the type of my object f is 'file'. How can I open the json file as a json file?
Your problem comes from this:
self.json.load(f.get_Response())
... there is no such thing as "self.json" on a Choregraphe box, import json and then do json.load. And what is get_Response ? That method doesn't exist on anything in Python that I know of.
You might want to first try making a standalone python script (that doesn't use the robot) that can read your json file before you try it with choregraphe. It will be easier.
I'm starting using python to validate some json information, i'm using a json schema with reference but i'm having trouble to reference those files. This is the code :
from os.path import join, dirname
from jsonschema import validate
import jsonref
def assert_valid_schema(data, schema_file):
""" Checks whether the given data matches the schema """
schema = _load_json_schema(schema_file)
return validate(data, schema)
def _load_json_schema(filename):
""" Loads the given schema file """
relative_path = join('schemas', filename).replace("\\", "/")
absolute_path = join(dirname(__file__), relative_path).replace("\\", "/")
base_path = dirname(absolute_path)
base_uri = 'file://{}/'.format(base_path)
with open(absolute_path) as schema_file:
return jsonref.loads(schema_file.read(), base_uri=base_uri, jsonschema=True, )
assert_valid_schema(data, 'grandpa.json')
The json data is :
data = {"id":1,"work":{"id":10,"name":"Miroirs","composer":{"id":100,"name":"Maurice Ravel","functions":["Composer"]}},"recording_artists":[{"id":101,"name":"Alexandre Tharaud","functions":["Piano"]},{"id":102,"name":"Jean-Martial Golaz","functions":["Engineer","Producer"]}]}
And i'm saving the schema and reference file, into a schemas folder :
recording.json :
{"$schema":"http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#","title":"Schema for a recording","type":"object","properties":{"id":{"type":"number"},"work":{"type":"object","properties":{"id":{"type":"number"},"name":{"type":"string"},"composer":{"$ref":"artist.json"}}},"recording_artists":{"type":"array","items":{"$ref":"artist.json"}}},"required":["id","work","recording_artists"]}
artist.json :
{"$schema":"http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#","title":"Schema for an artist","type":"object","properties":{"id":{"type":"number"},"name":{"type":"string"},"functions":{"type":"array","items":{"type":"string"}}},"required":["id","name","functions"]}
And this is my error :

Can somebody help me?
Thank you
I am not sure why, but on Windows, the file:// needs an extra /. So the following change should do the trick
base_uri = 'file:///{}/'.format(base_path)
Arrived at this answer from a solution posted for a related issue in json schema
i am using Flask as framework for my server, and while returning a response i get the following error:

i have the following function:
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from flask_restful import Resource, Api
from flask_cors import CORS, cross_origin
from json import dumps
import flights
import solveProblem
app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

while debugging the problem, i found the following solutions which did not work:
1) return solution instead of {'solution': solution}
2) do jsonify(solution)
3) do jsonify(**solution)
none of the above worked for me;
i wonder why this happens, when i am trying to return a valid dictionary:
{'flights': [[{'origin': u'porto', 'dest': u'lisboa', 'price': '31', 'date': '2017-12-23', 'url': u'https://www.google.pt/flights/#search;f=opo;t=lis;d=2017-12-23;r=2017-12-24'}]], 'cost': '31'}
any help is appreciated.
Thanks
My guess is when you were creating 'solution', the data that got assigned to it was an incorrectly formatted dictionary
{'item', 'value'}
Instead of:
{'item': 'value'}
Thus creating a set instead of a dict
we cannot directly use the jsonify when your trying to converting list of data into json.
there is two approaches are there you can convert list into dictionary for that we need to write function that convert your list data into dictionary which is complicated task .
there is one smart work you can use Marshmallow library . it serialized you list data after that you can use jsonify.
In flask-restful, Resource class get method will just need to return python data structure. So just remove jsonify. For User Defined Object, you can use marshal_with() decorator.
See more: https://flask-restful.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html#a-minimal-api
Since most of your functions are declared elsewhere, I worked a toy Flask program just to pass the dictionary you got stuck with.
[Edit] Before I was using the standard python json module. I edited it to use flask's own jsonify, and it works with the direct dictionary still. So the error is not where the OP is looking for.
{'flights': [[{'origin': u'porto', 'dest': u'lisboa', 'price': '31', 'date': '2017-12-23', 'url': u'https://www.google.pt/flights/#search;f=opo;t=lis;d=2017-12-23;r=2017-12-24'}]], 'cost': '31'}
The following program runs and returns the dictionary as a JSON object:
import flask
app = flask.Flask(__name__)
#app.route('/')
def hello():
jdic = flask.jsonify( {'origin': u'porto', 'dest': u'lisboa', 'price': '31', 'date': '2017-12-23', 'url': u'https://www.google.pt/flights/#search;f=opo;t=lis;d=2017-12-23;r=2017-12-24'} )
return jdic
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
As I found out, this error generally occurs when the response is not a pure python dictionary. This happened to me because I was trying to pass a class object. So, to solve the problem, i created a class method which returns a dictionary describing the object, and use this to create the json response.
Conclusion: Use Pure python objects, which are easily translated to JSON.
I had the same problem with a 3 level Nested Dictionary; it was valid, json serializable and via command line json.dumps had no issue. However, Flask did not want to output it: "TypeError", not json serializable. The only difference is that I am using Python 3.5.
So I made a copy of it as a string (that on command line was json serializable!) and passed to Flask output, it worked.
Try to pass the nested json as
eval(str(solution))
and see the error. It's not a definitive solution but more a workaround.
Hope it helps.
I am collecting data from a set of urls using curl requests and converting it into json. These data are represented in python as lists or dictionaries.
EDIT:
Next, I want to loop my script over a value in a dictionary that is inside a list (type list of dictionaries) until the length of the list is met. I wish to loop my other curl requests for each 'instance' and then write that information to a .csv with the name 'instance_name'.csv
Information in the .csv is populated from 2 different curl requests, excluding the one I want to loop everything over. The .csv needs to be created and populated by 'instance_name'. But actual content is populated via other curl requests.
Information of the list I want to loop over:
>>> instances = [i['instance_name'] for i in i_data]
>>> print(instances)
[u'Instance0', u'Instance1', .... u'Instance16']
>>> type(i_data)
<type 'list'>
>>> len(i_data)
17
>>> print(i_data[0])
{u'instance_name': u'Instance1', u'attribute2': {u'attribute2_1': u'yes', u'attribute2_2': u'no', u'attribute2_3': u'bye', u'attribute2_4': u'hello', u'attribute2_5': 500}, u'attribute3': u'abcd', u'attribute4': u'wxyz'}
>>>
How can I start this loop? eg:
i = 0
for i in len(i_data[i]):
with open('{}.csv'.format(i['instance_name']), 'w') as csvfile:
writer = csv.DictWriter(csvfile, fieldnames=fieldnames)
Trying to test:
>>> i = 0
>>> for i in len(i_data[i]):
... print('Hello')
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable
>>>
Secondly, how can I match certain field names in the csv with certain keys from lists or dictionaries?
For a key called 'Id' I want to place the value of that into the .csv file as Id
fieldnames = ['Id', 'domain_name', 'website', 'Usage', 'Limit']
Should my fieldnames be the same as the Keys so that the values know where to go? Or how exactly can I do this?
I am getting this error right now:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./usage_2.py", line 42, in <module>
writer.writerow(t_data['domain_name'])
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/csv.py", line 152, in writerow

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/csv.py", line 148, in _dict_to_list
+ ", ".join([repr(x) for x in wrong_fields]))
ValueError: dict contains fields not in fieldnames: u'p', u'e', u'r', u'f', u'e', u'c', u't', u'u', u's', u'g', u'r', u'e', u'u', u'p', u'a', u'h', u'r', u'.', u'o', u'n', u'm', u'i', u'c', u'r', u'o', u's', u'o', u'f', u't', u'.', u'c', u'o', u'm'
Because, I think it's trying to put json data with the u' and also I don't know if data is going where it's suppose to.
One example of to write the data:
writer.writerow(t_data['domain_name'])
The entry looks like:
>>> print(t_data['domain_name'])
abc.123.com
>>>
And this 't_data' pulled from another curl request is represented as a dictionary when I check.
>>> type(t_data)
<type 'dict'>
>>>
