Python JSON TypeError list indices must be integers or slices, not str

Question

I am currently trying to parse some data from a post request response and I keep getting this error: \"TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str\"

Answer 1

In my case:

    [
        {
            "_index": "abc",
            "_type": "abc",
            "_score": null,
            "_source": {
              "layers": {
                "frame_raw": [
                "frame": {
                ......
                "raw": [

Correct way to access "raw" values is

    data = json.load(json_file)
    data[0]['_source']['layers']['raw'][0]
    data[0]['_source']['layers']['raw'][1]

...

In case of multiple data:

    [
        {
            "_index": "abc",
            "_type": "abc",
            "_score": null,
            "_source": {
              "layers": {
                "frame_raw": [
                "frame": {
                ......
                "raw": [

        {
            "_index": "abc",
            "_type": "abc",
            "_score": null,
            "_source": {
              "layers": {
                "frame_raw": [
                "frame": {
                ......
                "raw": [

Get it by:

    data = json.load(json_file)
            for d in data:
                print(d['_source']['layers']['raw'][0])

Answer 2

data['result']['results'] is an array so you can't do ['name'] you need an int, you could add [0] after['results'] and it should work. Then you can reference keys within the object in results.
