    }
]

}

I need to get the following:

1. count of 'id' in the whole response

Please could any one tell how to loop through json.

I tried for loop but get error "integers exepected as index"

Answer 1

Assuming you want the number of elements in the 'routers' key of the json dictionary:

import json
response = json.reads(response) # Given a json string, returns a python dictionary
return len(response['routers'])

Answer 2

Here you have a snippet that counts the appears of 'id' property of route items

>>> import json
>>> json_data = json.loads(raw_json_data)
>>> id_count = sum(1 for route in json_data['routers'] if route.get('id'))
>>> 
>>> id_count
