Hi all, I have some code that I require part of the code sent to a txt file, example [{u'1438923522000': 98}], after running code, I just need the txt after : save as txt, or better sql.

Answer 1

If x["data"] == [{u'1438923522000': 98}] then x["data"][0] == {u'1438923522000': 98}. If you can guarantee that the dict will only have one key (as your example does) then the expression you are looking for is something like
next(x["data"][0].values())
Since you appear to be using Python 3, dict.values() is a generator, so calling next() on it gives you the first value without needing to know what the associated key is.

Answer 2

#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib2
import json
api_key = 'VtxgIC2UnhfUmXe_pBksov7-lguAQMZD'
url = 'http://www.energyhive.com/mobile_proxy/getCurrentValuesSummary?token='+api_key
response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
content = response.read()
for x in json.loads(content):
if x["cid"] == "PWER":
print (x["data"])
for y in json.loads(content):
if y["cid"] == "PWER_GAC":
print(y["data"])
when i load this code i get
[{u'1439087809000': 36}]
[{u'1439087809000': 0}]
i would like to delete everything apart from the results
