[python] Accessing JSON elements

I am getting the weather information from a URL.

weather = urllib2.urlopen('url')
wjson = weather.read()

and what I am getting is:

{
  "data": {
     "current_condition": [{
        "cloudcover": "0",
        "humidity": "54",
        "observation_time": "08:49 AM",
        "precipMM": "0.0",
        "pressure": "1025",
        "temp_C": "10",
        "temp_F": "50",
        "visibility": "10",
        "weatherCode": "113",
        "weatherDesc": [{
            "value": "Sunny"
        }],
        "weatherIconUrl": [{
            "value": "http:\/\/www.worldweatheronline.com\/images\/wsymbols01_png_64\/wsymbol_0001_sunny.png"
        }],
        "winddir16Point": "E",
        "winddirDegree": "100",
        "windspeedKmph": "22",
        "windspeedMiles": "14"
    }]        
 }
}

How can I access any element I want?

if I do: print wjson['data']['current_condition']['temp_C'] I am getting error saying:

string indices must be integers, not str.

Just for more one option...You can do it this way too:

MYJSON = {
    'username': 'gula_gut',
    'pics': '/0/myfavourite.jpeg',
    'id': '1'
}

#changing username
MYJSON['username'] = 'calixto'
print(MYJSON['username'])

I hope this can help.

'temp_C' is a key inside dictionary that is inside a list that is inside a dictionary

This way works:

wjson['data']['current_condition'][0]['temp_C']
>> '10'

I did this method for in-depth navigation of a Json

def filter_dict(data: dict, extract):
    try:
        if isinstance(extract, list):
            for i in extract:
                result = filter_dict(data, i)
                if result:
                    return result
        keys = extract.split('.')
        shadow_data = data.copy()
        for key in keys:
            if str(key).isnumeric():
                key = int(key)
            shadow_data = shadow_data[key]
        return shadow_data
    except IndexError:
        return None

filter_dict(wjdata, 'data.current_condition.0.temp_C')
# 10

import json

# some JSON:
json_str =  '{ "name":"Sarah", "age":25, "city":"Chicago"}'

# parse json_str:
json = json.loads(json_str)

# get tags from json   
tags = []
for tag in json:
    tags.append(tag)
  

# print each tag name e your content
for i in range(len(tags)):
    print(tags[i] + ': ' + str(json[tags[i]]))

Another alternative way using get method with requests:

import requests
wjdata = requests.get('url').json()
print wjdata.get('data').get('current_condition')[0].get('temp_C')

Here's an alternative solution using requests:

import requests
wjdata = requests.get('url').json()
print wjdata['data']['current_condition'][0]['temp_C']
