Iterating through a JSON object using a FOR loop

Question

I'm currently in a data analytics boot camp, and have had a TON of information thrown at me in the span of 6 weeks. Working in python, and juypter notebooks. I'm having some issues running a FOR loop on a JSON object. Specifically looking to pull the 6 'full_name' out of each different 'padid' in the json, and print them in order. I just can't seem to get my poor tired brain to wrap around what syntax i need to get it to run. Any advice or insight would be hugely helpful!

import requests
import json

url = "https://api.spacexdata.com/v2/launchpads"

space = requests.get(url)

spacex= space.json()
spacex

Answer 1

spacex is simply a list of dictionaries. You iterate through it like any other list.

for site in spacex:
    print(site['full_name'])
