Python read particular data from response JSON

Question

I am new to Python and JSON. I am calling an API and as response body I am getting below :

{'product': 'Cycle', 'available': 20, 'blocked': 0, 'orderBooked': 0, 'transfer': 0, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '2000112', 'locationId': '745', 'locationCode': '425', 'stockType': 'IN STOCK', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}
{'product': 'Cooker', 'available': 958, 'blocked': 10, 'orderBooked': 10, 'transfer': 30, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '589620', 'locationId': '420', 'locationCode': '695', 'stockType': 'PRE ORDER', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}
{'product': 'Cycle', 'available': 96220, 'blocked': 0, 'orderBooked': 0, 'transfer': 0, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '2000112', 'locationId': '745', 'locationCode': '425', 'stockType': 'CONFIRMED', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}
{'product': 'Lapms', 'available': 89958, 'blocked': 1890, 'orderBooked': 1045, 'transfer': 230, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '78963', 'locationId': '896', 'locationCode': '463', 'stockType': 'TRANSIT', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}

The data I mentioned above will vary as per the API request. So Whatever be the response. Based on the Products, I need to Print Multi line data. My request is to read this Json and get the following Data :

Name:<'product'>, Code:<'lCode'>, Location:<'locationCode'>, Stock Type:<'stockType'>, Availability:<'available'>

So For the Above Json, the output should be like :

Name:Cycle, Code:2000112, Location:425, Stock Type:PRE ORDER, Availability:20
Name:Cooker, Code:589620, Location:695, Stock Type:<'stockType'>, Availability:958
Name:Cycle, Code:2000112, Location:425, Stock Type:CONFIRMED, Availability:96220
Name:Lapms, Code:78963, Location:463, Stock Type:TRANSIT, Availability:89958

So Based on the Times,

product is occuring, the data output will be having that much lines

I dont have any idea on parsing Json in Python. Please help in understanding how I can get the data in below format. I havent tried anything as I am stuck

What are you trying to do? Store each row? Parse the row and add each field to a list? — Evan Lalo, Sep 25 '19 at 18:04
you are already getting it as a json. Read it directly into a dict. and access using the key. — Yatish Kadam, Sep 25 '19 at 18:05
@EvanLalo I need to read this Json and Print the data in the format i mentioned as a single line — wanderors, Sep 25 '19 at 18:12
Right, but does each key in the format you have contain a single item, or all of the appropriate items from the response? — Evan Lalo, Sep 25 '19 at 18:14

This is what I believe you want. As some comments say, indeed these outputs should be treated as dictionaries or lists, with dictionaries and/or lists nested within them. It's important to know the difference since the first should be addressed by its key whereas the latter by its index. You can find some extra information regarding how to read jsons/dictionaries here

import pandas as pd
json_1 = {'product': 'Cycle', 'available': 20, 'blocked': 0, 'orderBooked': 0, 'transfer': 0, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '2000112', 'locationId': '745', 'locationCode': '425', 'stockType': 'IN STOCK', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}
json_2 = {'product': 'Cooker', 'available': 958, 'blocked': 10, 'orderBooked': 10, 'transfer': 30, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '589620', 'locationId': '420', 'locationCode': '695', 'stockType': 'PRE ORDER', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}
json_3 = {'product': 'Cycle', 'available': 96220, 'blocked': 0, 'orderBooked': 0, 'transfer': 0, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '2000112', 'locationId': '745', 'locationCode': '425', 'stockType': 'CONFIRMED', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}
json_4 = {'product': 'Lapms', 'available': 89958, 'blocked': 1890, 'orderBooked': 1045, 'transfer': 230, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '78963', 'locationId': '896', 'locationCode': '463', 'stockType': 'TRANSIT', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}
support_list = []
support_list.append([json_1,json_2,json_3,json_4])
support_dict = {'Name':[],'Code':[],'Location':[],'Stock type':[],'Availability':[]}

for i in range(len(support_list[0])):
    support_dict['Name'].append(support_list[0][i]['product'])
    support_dict['Code'].append(support_list[0][i]['lCode'])
    support_dict['Location'].append(support_list[0][i]['locationCode'])
    support_dict['Stock type'].append(support_list[0][i]['stockType'])
    support_dict['Availability'].append(support_list[0][i]['available'])
df = pd.DataFrame(support_dict)
print(df)

Output:

     Name     Code Location Stock type  Availability
0   Cycle  2000112      425   IN STOCK            20
1  Cooker   589620      695  PRE ORDER           958
2   Cycle  2000112      425  CONFIRMED         96220
3   Lapms    78963      463    TRANSIT         89958

EDIT: OPs says it's only list with multiple jsons in it.

It applies the same logic:

import pandas as pd
json_output= [{'product': 'Cycle', 'available': 20, 'blocked': 0, 'orderBooked': 0, 'transfer': 0, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '2000112', 'locationId': '745', 'locationCode': '425', 'stockType': 'IN STOCK', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0},{'product': 'Cooker', 'available': 958, 'blocked': 10, 'orderBooked': 10, 'transfer': 30, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '589620', 'locationId': '420', 'locationCode': '695', 'stockType': 'PRE ORDER', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0},{'product': 'Cycle', 'available': 96220, 'blocked': 0, 'orderBooked': 0, 'transfer': 0, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '2000112', 'locationId': '745', 'locationCode': '425', 'stockType': 'CONFIRMED', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0},{'product': 'Lapms', 'available': 89958, 'blocked': 1890, 'orderBooked': 1045, 'transfer': 230, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '78963', 'locationId': '896', 'locationCode': '463', 'stockType': 'TRANSIT', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}]
support_dict = {'Name':[],'Code':[],'Location':[],'Stock type':[],'Availability':[]}

for i in range(len(json_output)):
    support_dict['Name'].append(json_output[i]['product'])
    support_dict['Code'].append(json_output[i]['lCode'])
    support_dict['Location'].append(json_output[i]['locationCode'])
    support_dict['Stock type'].append(json_output[i]['stockType'])
    support_dict['Availability'].append(json_output[i]['available'])
df = pd.DataFrame(support_dict)
print(df)

Output:

     Name     Code Location Stock type  Availability
0   Cycle  2000112      425   IN STOCK            20
1  Cooker   589620      695  PRE ORDER           958
2   Cycle  2000112      425  CONFIRMED         96220
3   Lapms    78963      463    TRANSIT         89958

EDIT 2: If you want the output as lines:

json_output= [{'product': 'Cycle', 'available': 20, 'blocked': 0, 'orderBooked': 0, 'transfer': 0, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '2000112', 'locationId': '745', 'locationCode': '425', 'stockType': 'IN STOCK', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0},{'product': 'Cooker', 'available': 958, 'blocked': 10, 'orderBooked': 10, 'transfer': 30, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '589620', 'locationId': '420', 'locationCode': '695', 'stockType': 'PRE ORDER', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0},{'product': 'Cycle', 'available': 96220, 'blocked': 0, 'orderBooked': 0, 'transfer': 0, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '2000112', 'locationId': '745', 'locationCode': '425', 'stockType': 'CONFIRMED', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0},{'product': 'Lapms', 'available': 89958, 'blocked': 1890, 'orderBooked': 1045, 'transfer': 230, 'restock': 0, 'unavailable': 0, 'total': 0, 'lCode': '78963', 'locationId': '896', 'locationCode': '463', 'stockType': 'TRANSIT', 'adminStock': {'rp': 0, 'management': 0, 'rc': 0, 'total': 0, 'default': 0}, 'isBlocked': False, 'plannedDate': None, 'plannedUpdate': True, 'bookedQuantity': 0}]

for i in range(len(json_output)):
    print('Name: ' + str(json_output[i]['product']) + ', Code: ' + str(json_output[i]['lCode']) + ', Location: ' + str(json_output[i]['locationCode']) + ', Stock type: ' + str(json_output[i]['stockType']) + ', Availability: ' + str(json_output[i]['available']))

Output:

Name: Cycle, Code: 2000112, Location: 425, Stock type: IN STOCK, Availability: 20
Name: Cooker, Code: 589620, Location: 695, Stock type: PRE ORDER, Availability: 958
Name: Cycle, Code: 2000112, Location: 425, Stock type: CONFIRMED, Availability: 96220
Name: Lapms, Code: 78963, Location: 463, Stock type: TRANSIT, Availability: 89958

Then you should format it correctly as a list, separated by commas. — Celius Stingher, Sep 25 '19 at 18:41
Check after the edit, still your json is poorly formatted and should be fixed — Celius Stingher, Sep 25 '19 at 18:45
Its works fine, instead of table, can we make it as multiple sentence. — wanderors, Sep 25 '19 at 19:08
Of course, I'll edit it and if it works fine for you, you can upvote it and accept to make this answer more visible for other people with similar issues. — Celius Stingher, Sep 25 '19 at 19:13

If you parse json file you will get standard python dictionary.

import json

json_data = '{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3, "d": 4, "e": 5}'
parsed_json = (json.loads(json_data))
