I have the following variable in my python script:
response = {"tasks": [{"attachments": [{"id": "id123xyz", "type": "ElasticNetworkInterface", "status": "PRECREATED", "details": [{"name": "john doe"}] }]}]}
I am simply trying to return the value of status. However, I'm unable to do so.
You need to index into each dictionary and list that the status is inside.
You can do the following:
# Prints "PRECREATED"
print(response["tasks"][0]["attachments"][0]["status"])
you need to access the dictionary and the list that is inside:
status = response['tasks'][0]['attachments'][0]['status']
#output
'PRECREATED'
In order to retrieve the status, you can do this
response['tasks'][0]['attachments'][0]['status']
If you would like to extract to dictionary or array of id and status then we can do:
dict([(attachment['id'], attachment['status']) for task in response['tasks'] for attachment in task['attachments']])
returns:
{'id123xyz': 'PRECREATED'}
print(response['tasks'][0]['attachments'][0]['status'])? Result:PRECREATED
