How to parse json in python

Question

i want to get token through the result of REST API and it has done and success. the result of REST API shown below following print(result) of python

'{"UserId":"202","UserName":"xxx","UserMail":"yyy","Token":"abcdfghoijkalt"}'

do you know how to get "Token" as variable?, so i can get to next step. thank you

• Tim Roberts: Do you mean something other than import json / dct = json.loads( result )? Python has a built-in json module.
• KingsDev: Have a read of this: w3schools.com/python/python_json.asp Note: This was the first google result from the search: python string to json.

Answer 1

You can use json.loads

import json
jObject = json.loads('{"UserId":"202","UserName":"xxx","UserMail":"yyy","Token":"abcdfghoijkalt"}')
# This should give you the value you are looking for:
token = jObject["Token"]
print(token)

• Handri Mauludin Maulana: it totally works. thank you, but i have new issue with same json format as same as above, that ther error says: 'dict' object has no attribute 'loads'
• user19707153: Have you assigned a variable named "json"?

I have written a short write util function (below) which I include in every project I work on. So if your target file has a .json extension, it automatically format it into json.

eg. write(result, "dst_dir/dst_file.json")

import json
def write(content, file, **kwargs):
 if not isinstance(file, str):
 file = str(file)
 if file.endswith('.json'):
 with open(file, 'w') as f:
 json.dump(content, f, indent=2, **kwargs)
 else:
 with open(file,'w') as f:
 f.write(content, **kwargs)
write(result, "dst_dir/dst_file.json") # To run it with your result
