使用 python pandas 将 json 字符串写入 xls 文件

Question

I am trying to parse one json string to excel file. But facing some errors

import pandas
...
...
response = requests.get(BASE_URL, headers=headers)
#print(response.text)
df_json = json.loads(response.text)
print(df_json) -- this is printing json as string
df = pd.read_json(df_json)
-- now i want to load this into excel
df.to_excel('c:\scripts\DATAFILE.xls', sheet_name='Sheet1', index=False, engine='xlsxwriter')

Error:

ValueError: Invalid file path or buffer object type: <class 'dict'>

can some one help please

Answer 1

pd.read_json() takes a file path or a JSON string as input. You should check the type of df_json because json.loads() deserializes the input. If it is a dict you could simply do

df = pd.DataFrame(df_json)

If it's a list it's a bit more complex.

Also I would refrain from prefixing variable names "df" if they aren't dataframes.
