I just discovered glom and the tutorial makes sense, but I can't figure out the right spec to use for chrome BrowserHistory.json entries to create a data structure grouped by client_id or if this is even the right use of glom. I think I can accomplish this using other methods by looping over the json, but was hoping to learn more about glom and its capabilities.
The json has Browser_History with a list for each history entry as follows:
{
"Browser_History": [
{
"favicon_url": "https://www.google.com/favicon.ico",
"page_transition": "LINK",
"title": "Google Takeout",
"url": "https://takeout.google.com",
"client_id": "abcd1234",
"time_usec": 1424794867875291
},
...
I'd like a data structure where everything is grouped by the client_id, like with the client_id as the key to a list of dicts, something like:
{ 'client_ids' : {
'abcd1234' : [ {
"title" : "Google Takeout",
"url" : "https://takeout.google.com",
...
},
...
],
'wxyz9876' : [ {
"title" : "Google",
"url" : "https://www.google.com",
...
},
...
}
}
Is this something glom is suited for? I've been playing around with it and reading, but I can't seem to get the spec correct to accomplish what I need. Best I've got without error is:
with open(history_json) as f:
history_list = json.load(f)['Browser_History']
spec = {
'client_ids' : ['client_id']
}
pprint(glom(data, spec))
which gets me a list of all the client_ids, but I can't figure out how to group them together as keys rather than have them as a big list. any help would be appreciated, thanks!
This should do the trick although I'm not sure if this is the most "glom"-ic way to achieve this.
import glom
grouping_key = "client_ids"
def group_combine (existing,incoming):
# existing is a dictionary used for accumulating the data
# incoming is each item in the list (your input)
if incoming[grouping_key] not in existing:
existing[incoming[grouping_key]] = []
if grouping_key in incoming:
existing[incoming[grouping_key]].append(incoming)
return existing
data ={ 'Browser_History': [{}] } # your data structure
fold_spec = glom.Fold(glom.T,init = dict, op = group_combine )
results = glom.glom(data["Browser_History"] ,{ grouping_key:fold_spec })
