How can I import a nested json object into a pandas dataframe?
Question
I have a json object like this:
[{'currency_pair': 'UOS_USDT',
'orders': [{'account': 'spot',
'amount': '1282.84',
'create_time': '1655394430',
'create_time_ms': 1655394430129,
'currency_pair': 'UOS_USDT',
'fee': '0',
'fee_currency': 'UOS',
'fill_price': '0',
'filled_total': '0',
'gt_discount': False,
'gt_fee': '0',
'iceberg': '0',
'id': '169208865523',
'left': '1282.84',
'point_fee': '0',
'price': '0.1949',
'rebated_fee': '0',
'rebated_fee_currency': 'USDT',
'side': 'buy',
'status': 'open',
'text': 'apiv4',
'time_in_force': 'gtc',
'type': 'limit',
'update_time': '1655394430',
'update_time_ms': 1655394430129}],
'total': 1},
{'currency_pair': 'RMRK_USDT',
'orders': [{'account': 'spot',
'amount': '79.365',
'create_time': '1655394431',
'create_time_ms': 1655394431249,
'currency_pair': 'RMRK_USDT',
'fee': '0',
'fee_currency': 'RMRK',
'fill_price': '0',
'filled_total': '0',
'gt_discount': False,
'gt_fee': '0',
'iceberg': '0',
'id': '169208877018',
'left': '79.365',
'point_fee': '0',
'price': '2.52',
'rebated_fee': '0',
'rebated_fee_currency': 'USDT',
'side': 'buy',
'status': 'open',
'text': 'apiv4',
'time_in_force': 'gtc',
'type': 'limit',
'update_time': '1655394431',
'update_time_ms': 1655394431249}],
'total': 1}]
I want to convert it to a dataframe.
The data comes from an api call to a crypto exchange. I converted this to json, using the .json() method. So it's proper json. I have tried:
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df = pd.DataFrame(data["orders")
df = pd.DataFrame(data["currency_pair"]["orders"])
and every other imaginable path.
I want a df which has as columns ["currency_pair", "amount", "create_time", "price", "side"]
I some times get an error TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str or the df works but the orders object is not unpacked. All help gratefully received. Thank you.

df = pd.json_normalize(data, record_path=['orders'])
And keep the columns you need.
It's only one line and it should cover your case since 'currency_pair' that you want is already in the 'orders' dictionary and from what I understand from your data it will always be the same as the 'currency_pair' value outside 'orders. As you said you don't need 'total' too.
Use:
df = pd.json_normalize(data, record_path=['orders'], meta=['currency_pair', 'total'], record_prefix='orders_')
If you want them all
