Answer 1

After you converted your json data via json.loads you able to manipulate with data via dictionary data type.

And a little example how you can to extract expanded_url values from your json data.

def get_by_key(obj):
    return obj["quoted_status"]["extended_tweet"]["extended_entities"]

# `data` means your dictionary object.
media_objects = [get_key(media) for media in data]


for media_obj in media_objects:
    for url in media_obj['media']:
        print(url['expanded_url'])
