Redis get data using python

Question

I have done the following to get json file data into redis using this python script-

import json
import redis
r = redis.StrictRedis(host='127.0.0.1', port=6379, db=1)
with open('products.json') as data_file:
    test_data = json.load(data_file)
r.set('test_json', test_data)

When I use the get commmand from redis-cli (get test_json) I get nil back. I must be using the wrong command? Please help for my understanding on this.

Answer 1

You should use hmset instead of set and hgetall instead of get to store multiple keys, your code should look like:

r.hmset('test_json', test_data) #to set multiple index data
r.hgetall('test_json') #to get multiple index data

Answer 2

I deleted the previous answer. Didn't noticed the problem there is that u specified 'db=1' in the redis constructor. So you are saving the data in the db 1. type 'select 1' in the redis client, or remove that from the constructor (by default, with redis-cli you connect to database 0)
