Parsing json value in Python

Question

I am receiving a json from a web page request.

      "CanHaveObstructed": false,
      "CanHavePremium": false,
      "RoomTypeCode": "M"
    }
  ],
  "QuoteId": null
}

i am having problems getting the "Items" child. So far i did this:

price_item_list = cruise_price_data["Items"]

and if i print price_item_list i get this:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/fixxxer/PycharmProjects/POCruses/main.py", line 94, in <module>
    print(price_item_list["RoomTypeCode"])
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

I am thinking this must be some conversion mistake. Where is my mistake?

You need first to convert your json data to a Python object like below:

import json

data = json.loads(your_json)

Now, you should be able to iterate over data :

for item in data['Items']:
    print(item['RoomTypeCode'])
    # ...
