Elastic search import error using python

Question

Here is the json variable

jsonout = [{"city": "Springfield", "id": 1, "name": "Moes Tavern"}, {"city": "Springfield", "id": 2, "name": "Springfield Power Plant"}, {"city": "Fountain Lakes", "id": 3, "name": "Kath and Kim Pty Ltd"}]

The following command i am using to import json variable

es.bulk((es.index_op(doc, id=doc('id')) for doc in jsonout), index='dbmysql', doc_type='person')

The following is the error

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Answer 1

doc is likely the uncallable string. Usually jsonout doesn't sound like it should have functions.

Answer 2

You are missing something in your question - in the error example you have this code:

1 docs = [{'id': 2, 'name': 'Jessica Coder', ...}, {...}]
2 es.bulk((es.index_op(doc, id=doc('id')) for doc in jsonout), index='dbmysql', doc_type='person')

You have the docs variable in the line 1, but you have jsonout in the line 2. And, if you put the docs variable instead of jsonout into the second line, you should get an error like 'dict' object is not callable because you have doc('id') (instead of doc['id'] ) and doc is a dictionary.

So I suspect that also something is wrong with your actual jsonout variable value - it is probably a list of strings instead of list of dictionaries.

Answer 3

Found the solution finally.

We can use json.loads to convert str object to json object.

json.loads(jsonout)
