Parsing Multiple json elements in python -


i'm trying build small script go through etsy api , retrieve information. api returns 25 different listing in json , appreciate if me learn how handle 1 @ time.

here example of json i'm dealing with:

{"count":50100,"results":[{"listing_id":114179207,"state":"active"},{"listing_id":11344567,"state":"active"}, 

and on.

is there simple way handle 1 of these listings @ time minimize amount of calls must make api?

here of code of how i'm dealing 1 when limit results returned 1:

r = requests.get('http://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/active?api_key=key&limit=1&offset='+str(offset_param)+'&category=clothing') raw_json = r.json() encoded_json = json.dumps(raw_json) dataobject = json.loads(encoded_json) if dataobject["results"][0]["quantity"] > 1:     if dataobject["results"][0]["listing_id"] not in already_done:         already_done.append(dataobject["results"][0]["listing_id"])         s = requests.get('http://openapi.etsy.com/v2/users/'+str(dataobject["results"][0]["user_id"])+'/profile?api_key=key')         raw_json2 = s.json()         encoded_json2 = json.dumps(raw_json2)         dataobject2 = json.loads(encoded_json2)          t = requests.get('http://openapi.etsy.com/v2/users/'+str(dataobject["results"][0]["user_id"])+'?api_key=key')         raw_json3 = t.json()         encoded_json3 = json.dumps(raw_json3)         dataobject3 = json.loads(encoded_json3) 

seeing how results field (or key) contains list structure, can iterate through following

json_str = { ...other key-values, "results": [{"listing_id":114179207,"state":"active"},{"listing_id":11344567,"state":"active"}, ...and on] } results = json_str['results']  # gives list of dicts  # iterate through list result in results:     if result['state'] == 'active':         do_something_with( result['listing_id']     else:         do_someotherthing_with( result['listing_id']  # or none @
