Python parsing JSON nested data
Question
I am trying to parse this JSON data from the setlist.fm api. I am trying to get all the song names in order from each setlist. I have looked around but none of the methods describe on the internet are working.
Here is the JSON data
{'itemsPerPage': 20,

This is part of the JSON I grabbed from the URL. Below is the code I am trying touse:
import requests
import json
from pprint import*
url = "https://api.setlist.fm/rest/1.0/artist/cc197bad-dc9c-440d-a5b5-d52ba2e14234/setlists?p=1"
headers = {'x-api-key': 'API-KEY',
'Accept': 'application/json'}
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
data = json.loads(r.text)
#pprint(r.json())
response = data['setlist']
#pprint(response)
for item in response:
pprint(item['sets']['set']['song']['name'])
However I get this error that I cannot resolve nor find any help online with:
pprint(item['sets']['set']['song']['name'])
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

- Dictionaries (Dict) are accessed by keys.
- Lists are accessed by indexes.
ie
# Dict get 'item'.
data = {'key': 'item'}
data['key']
# List get 'item0'.
data = ['item0', 'item1']
data[0]
# Dict with List get 'item0'.
data = {'key': ['item0', 'item1']}
data['key'][0]
Both storage types can be nested in JSON and either needs to be accessed in a different manner.
You have nested Lists which need to be indexed through and that can be done by a for loop.
I have no access to workable json data except for the Python incomplete object that you show so I have not tested my code. Thus, no assurance that this is correct. If not, it may demonstrate how to do the task.
import requests
import json
from pprint import *
url = "https://api.setlist.fm/rest/1.0/artist/cc197bad-dc9c-440d-a5b5-d52ba2e14234/setlists?p=1"
headers = {'x-api-key': 'API-KEY',
'Accept': 'application/json'}
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
data = json.loads(r.text)
result = []
for setlist_item in data['setlist']:
for set_item in setlist_item['sets']['set']:
for song_item in set_item['song']:
result += [song_item['name']]
print(result)
Each for loop is processing each list to finally get to extending the result with each song name.
