How to Merge Columns from Dictionaries into a DataFrame Using Pandas

When working with data, it's common to encounter the need to merge two sets of information. For those using Python's powerful pandas library, merging data from dictionaries into a DataFrame can sometimes feel challenging. In this guide, we'll explore how to effectively merge two columns—specifically title and author_name—from two different dictionaries into a single pandas DataFrame.

Understanding the Problem

Consider you have the following use case where we have two dictionaries: game_data and author_data:

Your goal is to create a DataFrame that has just two columns: title from game_data and author_name from author_data. The expected output for the DataFrame should look like this:

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Convert Dictionaries to DataFrames

The first step is to convert both dictionaries into pandas DataFrames. This is easily done using the from_dict method from pandas:

Step 2: Merging DataFrames

To merge the two DataFrames correctly, we need to specify a common key that exists in both. In this case, the author_id exists in both dictionaries. We will merge based on this column:

Step 3: Select Relevant Columns

After the merge, we only need the title and author_name columns. We can select just these two columns from the merged DataFrame as follows:
