KeyError when using a JSON API

Question

Using Twitch's API I am trying to make the results from the JSON into an array (I think that's what it's called?) I get this come up in the console:

Error Raised: (<class 'KeyError'>, KeyError(0,), <traceback object at 0x04520DA0>)

And here's the code that defines it all

    r = requests.get('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/runnerbeany'.format(query))
    dat = r.json()
    dat = dat[0]
    data = []
    data.append(dat['display_name'])
    data.append(dat['followers'])
    data.append(dat['game'])
    data.append(dat['logo'])
    data.append(dat['status'])
    data.append(dat['url'])

you are re-initializing dat = dat[0], rename it with first_dat = dat[0]

    r = requests.get('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/runnerbeany'.format(query))
    dat = r.json()
    print dat
    first_dat = dat[0]
    data = []
    data.append(dat['display_name'])
    data.append(dat['followers'])
    data.append(dat['game'])
    data.append(dat['logo'])
    data.append(dat['status'])
    data.append(dat['url'])

So I just remove dat = r.json() or dat = dat[0]?

change dat = dat[0] to first_dat = dat[0]
