What I am trying to do is extract elevation data from a google maps API along a path specified by latitude and longitude coordinates as follows:

from urllib2         


        

Answer 1

billmanH's solution helped me but didn't work until i switched from:

n = data.loc[row,'json_column']

to:

n = data.iloc[[row]]['json_column']

here's the rest of it, converting to a dictionary is helpful for working with json data.

import json

for row in range(len(data)):
    n = data.iloc[[row]]['json_column'].item()
    jsonDict = json.loads(n)
    if ('mykey' in jsonDict):
        display(jsonDict['mykey'])
