Error while checking for key in Dictionary - onenessboy - Aug-13-2020

Hi,

I am trying below code to get values from dict
My sample dictionary look like this

{'value': [{'id': '/subscriptions/xxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/xxxxxx/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/xxxxxxx', 'name': 'xxxxxxx', 'type': 'Microsoft.Compute/disks', 'sku': {'name': 'Premium_LRS', 'tier': 'Premium'}, 'managedBy': '/subscriptions/xxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/xxxxxx/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/xxxxx', 'location': 'ukwest', 'createdTime': '2020-07-01T19:42:12.1380255Z', 'changedTime': '2020-07-01T19:52:12.6457358Z'},{'id': '/subscriptions/xxxxx/resourceGroups/xxxxxx/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/xxxxx', 'name': 'xxxxxxx', 'type': 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', 'sku': {'name': 'Standard_LRS', 'tier': 'Standard'}, 'kind': 'Storage', 'location': 'ukwest', 'createdTime': '2020-07-01T19:41:49.5513608Z', 'changedTime': '2020-07-01T19:52:10.2317633Z',  'tags': {'managed': 'nob'},{'createdby': 'bob'}}}]

so here the requrirement is :

1) I need to find out tags for each dictionary and also only while doing so I need to get only 'managed' key from tags.
2) If 'managed' key is null then, display value as 'Not Tagged'
3) If 'tags' key itself doesnot exist in dictionary above then, it should display "Tags key missing"

  
    status = json.loads(response.text)
    print(type(status)) # this is a dict
    #print(status)
    resource_type = status['value'][0]['type']
    region = status['value'][0]['location']
    created_time = status['value'][0]['createdTime']
    tag = status.get(['value'][0]['tags'])
    tags_info = {"Resource_Type": resource_type, "Region": region, "Created_Time": created_time, "Tags": tag}
    print(tags_info)

but i am getting below error for one of the key

    tag = status.get(['value'][0]['tags'])
TypeError: string indices must be integers

Tried this as well:

    status = json.loads(response.text)
    items = status.items()
    tags = items['value']['tags']
    print(tags)

gives error

I am using above code as part of for loop, hence some of the item in loop does not have this tags, where as some have. so tried to use get function to check if key exist or not but getting error as above

can some one suggest correction here..thanks in advance

Are you passing the right thing to get? ['value'][0] gives you the string 'value' and then you're trying to look up 'tags' from that, which clearly doesn't make sense.

Accessing a sub-element via direct access:

>>> d['a']['b']
5

Accessing a sub-element via multiple get() calls:

>>> d.get('a').get('b')
5

One question to help you work it out: what type is items? Perhaps you should print it out if you're not sure.

Yeah tried with

print(type(items))

it returned class dict

I even tried this

tags = items['value']['tags']

replaced with

tags = get('tags')

then it returned

Nonetype error
