使用Python从JSON文件提取数据

Question

I was ask to extract data from a JSON file using Python. The original JSON file looks like this:

{"votes": {"funny": 15, "useful": 48, "cool": 18}, "user_id": "JkeCKyEaQlbLd9uZYl4DjA", "name": "LiiLii C.", "url": "http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=JkeCKyEaQlbLd9uZYl4DjA", "average_stars": 3.2258064516128999, "review_count": 31, "type": "user"}

{"votes": {"funny": 0, "useful": 2, "cool": 0}, "user_id": "cs91PAsv6esdWAaSkzm2lg", "name": "Jan Ellen T.", "url": "http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=cs91PAsv6esdWAaSkzm2lg", "average_stars": 3.0, "review_count": 4, "type": "user"}

And I was asked to use Python to extract this file and give an output file that looks like this:

name    city    state   stars   review_count    main_category

Southern California Medical Group   Los Angeles CA  3.5 2   Medical Centers

Harvard Square Shiatsu  Cambridge   MA  4.0 4   Massage

Faith & Glory Collective    Kitchener   ON  4.0 2   Tattoo

Von's Records & Posters West Lafayette  IN  3.5 3   Music & DVDs

JP's Java   Austin  TX  3.5 85  Food

I am really confused by this assignment because I don't understand why the output file has nothing similar to the original JSON file. And is this because I need to extract data from the JSON file through each provided link? And if this is the case, how should I do this task?

Answer 1

If you're accurately quoting what has been asked, you need to gather more details about the users mentioned in your JSON, in order to compile the required output. Yelp has an API which might help you gather the required data, given a user ID. Anyhow, doesn't look like this is really a JSON question.
