Convert Json to CSV using Python

Question

Below, is the json structure I am pulling from my online weather station. I am also including a json_to_csv python script that is supposed to convert json data to csv outpu

Answer 1

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_json("pywu.cache.json")
df = df.loc[["local_time_rfc822", "weather", "temperature_string"],"current_observation"].T
df.to_csv("pywu.cache.csv")

maybe pandas can be of help for you. the .read_json() function creates a nice dataframe, from which you can easily choose the desired rows and columns. and it can save as csv as well.

to add latitude and longitude to the csv-line, you can do this:

df = pd.read_json("pywu.cache.csv")
df = df.loc[["local_time_rfc822", "weather", "temperature_string", "display_location"],"current_observation"].T
df = df.append(pd.Series([df["display_location"]["latitude"], df["display_location"]["longitude"]], index=["latitude", "longitude"]))
df = df.drop("display_location")
df.to_csv("pywu.cache.csv")

to print the location in numeric values, you can do this:

df = pd.to_numeric(df, errors="ignore")
print(df['latitude'], df['longitude'])
