Extracting Data from JSON Files in Python: A Step-by-Step Guide

When working with APIs and JSON data in Python, it's common to encounter situations where you need to extract specific pieces of information from a JSON object. If you’re currently using VSCode with Jupyter Notebook and have made a GET request to retrieve JSON data, you may find yourself wondering: How do I pull objects from a JSON file using Python?

In this guide, we'll break down the process of extracting specific fields from a JSON response, specifically focusing on how to print desired information such as clients and paths. Let’s dive in!

Understanding the JSON Structure

Before we extract data, it's essential to understand the structure of the JSON we’re dealing with. Typically, a JSON response might look like this:

In this example, we have:

A digest field containing a string.

An exports array that holds objects, each containing clients and paths.

Pulling Data from JSON Using Python

Now that we understand our JSON structure, let’s look at the steps to extract the needed fields using Python. We will use the requests library to make an API call and the json module for handling JSON data.

Step 1: Make the API Request

First, ensure you make the API request correctly. Here’s a refined version of the request you shared:
