I want to get the summary (total_count) from both the likes and the comments and the messages as well. So i decided to loop over them and store them as a tuple. The code is as follow:
Code:

import json
import requests 
import facebook 
graph = facebook.GraphAPI(access_token="")
profile = graph.get_object(id='me', fields='id,name,posts.limit(10) 
{likes.summary(true),comments.summary(true)}')
x = json.dumps(profile, indent=4)
# print (x)


raw_data = json.loads(x) # parse the string into a python dictionary

useful_data = raw_data['posts']['data'] # Only picking concerned fields

output = {'day' : []} # This is where we will store the results as tuples of (value, end_time)

for el in useful_data:
    # if el['period'] == 'day':
    #     for i in el['values']: # Get all items in the values array
    #         output['day'].append( (i['value'], i['end_time']) )

    for i in el['likes']:
        for j in i['summary']:
            output['day'].append( (j['total_count']) )

print(output)

No matter what approach I take I always get the error (string indices must be integers). I even used JSON editor to better understand the JSON data but I still can’t grasp what’s going wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

>Solution :

No matter what approach I take I always get the error (string indices must be integers)

    for i in el['likes']:
        for j in i['summary']:
            output['day'].append( (j['total_count']) )

should be

    output['day'].append( el['likes']['summary']['total_count'] )
