Python: Converting a List of Dictionaries to A List of Tuples?

Question

I am interacting with an API and it returns something like this (This is a shortened version, the actual output is a couple hundred lines):

{'candles': [{'close': 319.88,
              'datetime': 1549000800000,
              'high': 324.24,
              'low': 288.7701,
              'open': 305.42,
              'volume': 128550254},
             {'close': 279.86,

              'low': 254.46,
              'open': 306.94,
              'volume': 213788920},

              'low': 184.1,
              'open': 238.85,
              'volume': 282598840},
             {'close': 223.46,
              'datetime': 1559365200000,

              'volume': 214970560},
             {'close': 241.61,

              'volume': 199371370},
             {'close': 225.61,
              'datetime': 1564635600000,
              'high': 244.51,
              'low': 211.0,
              'open': 242.65,
              'volume': 134103755},
             {'close': 240.87,
              'datetime': 1567314000000,
              'high': 253.5,
              'low': 218.36,
              'open': 224.08,
              'volume': 136563110},
             {'close': 314.92,
              'datetime': 1569906000000,
              'high': 340.84,
              'low': 224.28,
              'open': 241.5,
              'volume': 235119040},
             {'close': 329.94,
              'datetime': 1572584400000,
              'high': 361.2,
              'low': 309.26,
              'open': 316.32,
              'volume': 157892380},
             {'close': 418.33,
              'datetime': 1575180000000,
              'high': 435.31,
              'low': 327.25,
              'open': 329.4,
              'volume': 207390450},
             {'close': 510.5,
              'datetime': 1577858400000,
              'high': 547.41,
              'low': 421.71,
              'open': 424.5,
              'volume': 236789610}],
 'empty': False,
 'symbol': 'TSLA'}

So essentially it is a dictionary of a list of dictionaries. However, I need to convert the 'candles' portion to a list of tuples containing the values like this:

[(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6),
 (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6),
 (value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6)]

Note: I need only the values in the tuples and not the keys. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

You can use a list comprehension to make a tuple of the dict.values of each element in the list:

l = [
    {'key1':'value1', 'key2':'value2'},
    {'key1':'value3', 'key2':'value4'},
    {'key1':'value5', 'key2':'value6'}
]

[tuple(v) for v in map(dict.values, l)]   
# [('value1', 'value2'), ('value3', 'value4'), ('value5', 'value6')]
