How to combine this list/dict in one dataframe in Python

Question

I am new to python and pandas dataframe, I have this list/dict output and I need to combine it in one dataframe. I'm having trouble combining it in one dataframe and saving it in one csv.

data = [{"TimePeriod_Start":"2022-10-01","TimePeriod_End":"2022-10-02","PLATFORM":"TEST1","A":"0.30001","B":"0.0002","C":"0.00003","D":"0.000047","D":"0.0003","E":"0.00006"}][{"TimePeriod_Start":"2022-10-01","TimePeriod_End":"2022-10-02","PLATFORM":"TEST2","C":"0.700003","D":"00001","D":"00005","E":"00005","F":"0.000008","G":"000.245","H":"1.111258","I":"0000.1236"}]

Answer 1

This should work

import pandas as pd
data = [
    {
        "TimePeriod_Start": "2022-10-01",
        "TimePeriod_End": "2022-10-02",
        "PLATFORM": "TEST1",
        "A": "0.30001",
        "B": "0.0002",
        "C": "0.00003",
        "D": "0.0003",
        "E": "0.00006",
    }
]
data2 = [
    {
        "TimePeriod_Start": "2022-10-01",
        "TimePeriod_End": "2022-10-02",
        "PLATFORM": "TEST2",
        "C": "0.700003",
        "D": "00005",
        "E": "00005",
        "F": "0.000008",
        "G": "000.245",
        "H": "1.111258",
        "I": "0000.1236",
    }
]

d = data+data2
df = pd.DataFrame.from_records(d).to_csv("filePath")

Or simply

pd.DataFrame(data + data2)

Answer 2

a = [{"TimePeriod_Start":"2022-10-01","TimePeriod_End":"2022-10-02","PLATFORM":"TEST1","A":"0.30001","B":"0.0002","C":"0.00003","D":"0.000047","D":"0.0003","E":"0.00006"}]
b = [{"TimePeriod_Start":"2022-10-01","TimePeriod_End":"2022-10-02","PLATFORM":"TEST2","C":"0.700003","D":"00001","D":"00005","E":"00005","F":"0.000008","G":"000.245","H":"1.111258","I":"0000.1236"}]

I'm not exactly sure you want which dataframe to combine with. Is this what you want?

pd.DataFrame(a + b)

    TimePeriod_Start    TimePeriod_End  PLATFORM    A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H   I
0   2022-10-01  2022-10-02  TEST1   0.30001 0.0002  0.00003 0.0003  0.00006 NaN NaN NaN NaN
1   2022-10-01  2022-10-02  TEST2   NaN NaN 0.700003    00005   00005   0.000008    000.245 1.111258    0000.1236

Answer 3

You can use:

pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data[0], orient='index').T

Result:

Answer 4

There are missing square brackets and comma. True format must be like this:

data = [[{"TimePeriod_Start":"2022-10-01","TimePeriod_End":"2022-10-02","PLATFORM":"TEST1","A":"0.30001","B":"0.0002","C":"0.00003","D":"0.000047","D":"0.0003","E":"0.00006"}],[{"TimePeriod_Start":"2022-10-01","TimePeriod_End":"2022-10-02","PLATFORM":"TEST2","C":"0.700003","D":"00001","D":"00005","E":"00005","F":"0.000008","G":"000.245","H":"1.111258","I":"0000.1236"}]]

df = pd.json_normalize(data)[0].apply(pd.Series)
