Python and json, How to print data["key"] -

i have simple scraping code:

import urllib import re import json  htmltext = urllib.urlopen("http://dx.com/p/getproductinforealtime?skus=48616")  htmltext = json.load(htmltext)  print htmltext 

it outputs:

{u'data': [{u'sku': 48616, u'isshowdiscount': false, u'currencycode': u'usd', u'issoldout': false, u'adddate': u'10/28/2010', u'discount': 0, u'currencysymbol': u'us$', u'price': u'4.20', u'listprice': u''}], u'success': true} 

i can not figure out how data in correct format can use terms on left side of colons key terms on right side.

i to

print htmltext["sku"]  48616 

or

print htmltext["price"] 4.20 

any ideas on this?

what have there dictionary key data,

so access inner list with:

htmltext[u"data"] 

then access "sku", need access dictionary within list in "data"'s value.

inner_dict = htmltext[u"data"][0]  print(inner_dict[u"sku"]) 

you define function such as:

def get_data(dict_index, key):         return htmltext[u"data"][dict_index][key]  print(get_data(0, u"sku"))
