    "totalCount": 271
}

This above code is actually dumped in a file (say abc.txt) and it is a valid JSON format. I need to open the file and traverse to the "label" field. I need to write a code which should extract/print the "label" value only if it is a IP ie something in format of 0.0.0.0

How to do so ?

Answer 1

Try to use json module to parse json file and iterate node :

json.load()

Deserialize fp (a .read()-supporting file-like object containing a JSON document) to a Python object using this conversion table.

If you want to validate IP string is valid , you can use inet_aton () .

Convert an IPv4 address from dotted-quad string format (for example, '123.45.67.89') to 32-bit packed binary format, as a string four characters in length.

import json
import socket


for i in json.load(open('ooo.json'))["node"]:
    try:
        socket.inet_aton(i["label"])
        print(i["label"])
    except Exception as e:
        pass

Result:

10.21.204.174
10.21.205.148
10.21.50.153
