The data i am trying to get is 'logo': 'https://s2.coinmarketcap.com/static/img/coins/64x64/9674.png', but this sits within [data][9674][logo]
But as this script to running in the background for other objects, i won’t know what the number [9674] is for other requests.
So is there a way to get that number automatically?
[data] will always be consistent.
Im using this to get the data back
session = Session()
session.headers.update(headers)
response = session.get(url, params=parameters)
pprint.pprint(json.loads(response.text)['data']['9674']['logo'])
>Solution :
You can try this:
session = Session()
session.headers.update(headers)
response = session.get(url, params=parameters)
resp = json.loads(response.text)
pprint.pprint(resp['data'][next(iter(resp['data']))]['logo'])
where next(iter(resp['data'])) – returns first key in resp['data'] dict. In your example it '9674'
