How can I print the original title of the top 50 movies from themoviedatabase.org with python?

hello all i’m learning python recently and i need to analyze the web of themoviedb.org website. I want to extract all the movies in the database and I want to print the original title of the first 50 movies.This is a piece of the json file that i receive as a response following my network request:

{"page":1,"results":[{"adult":false,"backdrop_path":"/5gPQKfFJnl8d1edbkOzKONo4mnr.jpg","genre_ids":[878,12,28],"id":76600,"original_language":"en","original_title":"Avatar: The Way of Water","overview":"Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, learn the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.","popularity":5332.225,"poster_path":"/t6HIqrRAclMCA60NsSmeqe9RmNV.jpg","release_date":"2022-12-14","title":"Avatar: The Way of Water","video":false,"vote_average":7.7,"vote_count":3497},{......}],"total_pages":36589,"total_results":731777}

And this is my code:

import requests

response = requests.get("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=my_key&language=en-US&sort_by=popularity.desc&include_adult=false&include_video=false&page=1&with_watch_monetization_types=flatrate")
jsonresponse=response.json()
page=jsonresponse["page"]
results=jsonresponse["results"]
for i in range(50):
  for result in jsonresponse["original_title"][i]:
        print(result)

My code don’t work. Error: "KeyError: ‘original_title’". How can I print the original title of the top 50 movies?

>Solution :

When formatting the json you posted properly:

{
    "page": 1,
    "results": [
        {
            "adult": false,
            "backdrop_path": "/5gPQKfFJnl8d1edbkOzKONo4mnr.jpg",
            "genre_ids": [
                878,
                12,
                28
            ],
            "id": 76600,
            "original_language": "en",
            "original_title": "Avatar: The Way of Water",
            "overview": "Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, learn the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.",
            "popularity": 5332.225,
            "poster_path": "/t6HIqrRAclMCA60NsSmeqe9RmNV.jpg",
            "release_date": "2022-12-14",
            "title": "Avatar: The Way of Water",
            "video": false,
            "vote_average": 7.7,
            "vote_count": 3497
        },
        {
         ....
        }
    ],
    "total_pages": 36589,
    "total_results": 731777
}

one can easily see that original_tile is part of each dictionary / map in results. So using

for result in results:
  print(result["original_title"])

should work.
