Evening,

I’m trying to append another set of values to the same set of keys in a dictionary.

currently, I pull the some postcode attributes from an api which stores the request in a dictionary and returns the outcome in a dataframe. But If I wanted to return another postcode attributes from the same api how would I append the values from it to the same dictionary so they appear as a second row in the dataframe.

current bit of code:

import requests
import pandas as pd

url = "https://api.getthedata.com/postcode/ST87HL"
req = requests.get(url)
data = req.json()
entries = data["data"]

df = pd.DataFrame([entries])
print(df)

Really appreciate all the help, thank you.

>Solution :

If you have your postcodes in the list, iterate over this list and append result into another list. As last step, create a DataFrame from this list:

import requests
import pandas as pd

postcodes = ["ST87HL", "ST87EZ"]

all_data = []
for p in postcodes:
    url = "https://api.getthedata.com/postcode/{}".format(p)
    req = requests.get(url)
    data = req.json()
    entries = data["data"]
    all_data.append(entries)


df = pd.DataFrame(all_data)
print(df)

Prints:
