Main idea

JSON represents structured data as text.

Tip

Use json.loads and json.dumps correctly.

Watch out

Treating JSON string as dict directly.

This lesson is about JSON. You are in the Real-World Tools part of the course.

Main idea:
JSON represents structured data as text.

How to learn it: type a very small program first. Run it. Change one line and run again.

Tip:
Use json.loads and json.dumps correctly.

Common mistake:
Treating JSON string as dict directly.

Your challenge:
Parse JSON response and print selected fields.

Scroll down to the challenge lab. Run your code there. When the output meets the task and the checks pass, press the green button to finish this topic.

Example code

Copy this example if it helps. Change it so it matches JSON.

# Topic: JSON
def main():
    sample = "edit me"
    # TODO: apply JSON concept here
    result = sample
    print("Result:", result)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Challenge

Parse JSON response and print selected fields.

Before you can finish: your output should include at least 16 characters; at least 1 non-empty line(s); no crash traceback—fix errors until the program runs cleanly.

Use Run. Read the output. Change your code until the task is done.

Starter reference

# Challenge starter for JSON
def solve():
    # Write your solution here
    pass

print("Update solve() and run")

Your code

The first Run may load Python in your browser (one-time). Later runs are faster.
